The Aussie Next Door caught me off guard, but in a good way. Not many authors can approach special needs and adequately convey the issue, but Stefanie London has done just that in this refreshing romance. Autism and PTSD effect not only the daily life of our lead characters, but how they approach and respond to romantic interests and relationships. Loved the added element of how the dogs interact/play off their emotions! Quick read, and another winner by the author.

A Diamond in the Rough.....

This story plucked my heart strings something fierce. Jace and Angie's story took me by surprise, in a really good way. Jace Walters lived his life by a regimented timetable that always suited him and served his purpose in his life. He craved being by himselfand in his own world. Coming from a family of seven, he yearned for alone time. As soon as he was able, he moved out of his family home to seek quiet solitude, and to live the hermit lifestyle. No fuss, no muss.

Jace's world was hit by a force that went by the name Angie Donovan. Angie was American, hot and sexy. She was extroverted with a capital "E", in other words the total opposite of him. Angie came from a tumultuous past that had her moving to Australia soshe could start a new life. But starting a new life does not always go to plan. The sand in her hourglass was running out in the form of her Visa expiring and sending her back to her rocky past. Angie develops a plan but it isn't as easy as she anticipates.

I found this romance more than ordinary. It was emotionally powerful. Once in a blue moon, if we are lucky we find a gem of a story that impacts your life. This one definitely did that to me.

Angie wants to stay in Australia because her life in America was hell. The poster child for abused children she wanted to live in a place where she could be anonymous. However, her visa renewal has been denied and she only has a few weeks to figure out how to stay in the country. Her good looking next door neighbor, Jace, is shocked when Angie tells him her sleazy lawyer suggested they marry. Angie would rather marry Jace if she has to marry someone but he never wants to marry. So when Angie starts looking for a potential husband, Jace can't figure out why he's so jealous. Enjoyable romance.

Loved this book! Angie is the American that needs to marry and Australian to stay in the country. Jace is her landlord and reluctant friend to Angie. They seemed to come to life on the pages. I found myself totally invested in their story and wanting them to get their HEA ending.

This is a wonderful story that made me fall in love with the characters and Australia. The author created characters that are fully developed and with backstories that added depth to their story. She treated their problems with a gentle touch and addressed them in a respectful way.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. Put this at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

3.5 stars!
