I received a free copy of this book a long time ago and didn't read it for a long time because of all of the negative reviews. I am sorry to say I didn't love the book any more than the others, but did still find it was a 3 star book. Hopefully my next read by this author will be better.

Thank you fir the opportunity to read this book. It wasn’t my favorite, so I’d prefer not to leave negative reviews online.

This was a decent read. It was light and quick to read. The characters were likable and the overall plot was good.

Sandra A. Sigfusson gave me exactly what I was looking for today. I wanted a light sexy entertaining read and The Playboy Next Door fit the bill quite well. The premise of neighbors in a duplex and the trials and tribulations of shared wall space made for a meet cute. The hero and heroine, though immature at the start, experience growth throughout the novel. I respect the author for making me care about the happily ever after of the couple. Ms. Sigfusson writes with humor and I appreciated the settings and situations in which she placed her characters. The love scenes were well placed and served to move the story along, always a plus. I would read more from the author.
3.5 I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

Not the best...poor writing. I gave up about halfway through the book. Lots of steam but immature characters. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book for NetGalley.

The writing is not bad but I found the main 'hero' rude abnoxious and then I didn't persevere with the story to see if he or the romance improved any. I got about half way through and put it aside, perhaps I'll return to it eventually but life is too short to struggle through something, when there's other great stories out there.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I enjoyed the humor in a few chapters but there were parts of this book that didn't live up to its potential. I had a really hard time connecting with the story and it took me forever to finish because I wasn't interested in it.
The book was steamy but I didn't feel the chemistry between the two which is disappointing. I think this story had potential if the writing style would have been a bit different.

This was a cute story. I liked Brandon and his character arc. He went from playboy to wanting to settle down with Rachel. Overall, I gave it 3 stars. It was a cute, light read.

Unfortunately I just couldn't get into this book and unfortunately it was a Did Not Finish (DNF) for me.

Not really my cup of tea but still an interesting story. The characters were realistic and charming. It's the first book I've read by Sandra A Sigfusson but I like her writing style.

This was my first read from this author and I can say without reservation that it is one that I enjoyed. I liked the characters and enjoyed the humor in their relationship. Although I thought it moved a little slow at times, for the most part, I thought it was well paced and entertaining.

Funny and different story about two people who are so different but inevitably they are attracted by each other.
The relationship of the two characters are so entertaining and and you read it until the end.
It's little typical but but their two personalities make a difference.

The Playboy Next Door by Sandra A. Sigfusson is a romantic comedy that will refresh the reader's mind. This is the first book I'm reading from the author and I must say she is very engaging. I received this book in exchange for a honest review.

Brandon and Rachel who share a duplex house meet for the first time in a very strange situation. This leads Rachel to think that Brandon is extremely cocky because of his model-like body and looks. Brandon falls for Rachel almost immediately. 

Their relationship doesn't cross the friendship stature initially because of Brandon's playboy nature and Rachel's relationship with her boyfriend Kurt. But when two people are destined to be together, nothing can stop them from falling hard and fast in love. The story is about the series of events that bring Brandon and Rachel together. And let me mention Brigit and Barkley the two pet dogs of Brandon and Rachel who are in love with each other, too just like their owners.

It's a very easy read. There are some hot erotic scenes which will make your day. So, if you are in for an entertaining book, go for this one.

Just not the most interesting read. A little bit overboard with both characters and the plot. I love a great enemies to lovers romance but this was not what I was expecting. Thanks Netgalley for allowing me an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book just didn't work for me. I found Brandon to be over the top cocky and immature. Rachel was annoying. I had a hard time believing that these two very different characters would like each other.

I received this ARC for my honest review.
