I received an advance reader copy for an honest and fair review.

Unforgettable and charming romance. It was a quick and light read.
Many thanks to Entangled and to NetGalley for providing me with a pin exchange for my honest opinion.

We have Skylar, an African-American woman, a wood artist, and a neighbor with an active duty marine, Parker Jax. When Parker is home, he has loud parties with a lot of women parading through his home. And all that is annoying for Skylar. They are denying their mutual attraction but when she agrees to help him and act like she is his fiance until a paternity test could be done on the child that is allegedly his. There are a lot of things going on in this story and something from that situation is born and how will develop, you will have to see it by yourself.
This is a mashup of tropes, some were nicely fitted, and others unnecessary. We have enemies to lovers; interracial romance; fake dating...
It is an easy read that will help you fill the time in this hot summer days.

I wanted to like this one much more than I did - I just couldn't believe in the hate to lovers storyline and their goals and intentions didn't line up at all. The character development just wasn't there, and that is what makes a romance story flow.

LOVED THIS ONE!! I love any type of grumpy//sunshine romances so this one hit all the marks. Tattooed motorcycle riding bad boy? SIGN ME UP.

Parker and Skylar are those characters that have strong personalities and they bicker back and forth, but you know its also part of their chemistry. Parker is a Marine that is home for PT after an injury while deployed. He throws parties every night driving his neighbor Skylar crazy with all the noise. What everyone doesn't know is that he has had a crush on her for awhile. Everything changes the night Skylar is working and she stabs herself in her hand with a tool and Parker takes her to the hospital.

The thing that is problematic for them is a one night stand of Parker's shows up with a 3 year old boy and says that it is his. Well in the meantime she is vandalizing Skylar's work, turns his mom against her, and generally makes her life harder. Skylar has enough, gets hurt, and just leaves. Parker is willing to do whatever it takes to get her back.

This book was OK, it wasn't great. I really didn't care for Parker's mom. She was too focused on the fact that OK here is this woman she, is the mother of your grandson, and you need to be a family. It didn't matter to her how Parker felt about her or what kind of woman or mother she is. Parker is a great guy and does what it takes to take care of the people he cares about. I feel that his sons mother did what she could to sabotage not only Skylar but also Parker. In the end I'm glad that Skylar told Parker the truth about her past and he stands up for her to his parents. Like I said this book was OK, just not great.

I always enjoy books by Aliyah Burke. Her books are fun and engaging while often being intense. In her book, Her Marine Next Door, Ms. Burke uses the tropes enemies to lovers and fake relationship in an intriguing way. For months, Parker and Skylar have been neighbors and Parker and his friends have been a disruptive presence….loud parties and even louder attendees. When a former one-night stand tells Parker that he has a son, his solution is to use Skylar as a buffer. He wants her to pretend to be his fiancée. Of course, while they are pretending to be a couple, those real feeling they have been fighting come to the surface. Skylar is amazingly patient with the mess that Parker drops in her lap, and we can see their love grow and develop. But will they be able to get pass his disapproving parents, his vicious one-night stand, and Skylar’s hidden sorrows?
*Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this title. *

I could not finish this book and I am heartbroken over that. Entangled publishing is one of my favorite publishers right now. Everything I have read from them has been such an entertaining read. I thought them publishing Her Marine Next Door would be similar. I was very wrong. I tried for almost a week to read this book and couldn't get to even 30%. The characters are just awful. The story line was even worse.

It started out as an enemies-to-lovers/hate-to-love vibe but neither one of them really hated each other and Skylar just came off as so desperate, especially in her inner dialogue. Then she encourages this guy not to even get a paternity test when some random girl from the past comes out saying he is the father of her child. I guess I can see her reasoning but she did not have Parker's best interest in place. She should have encouraged him to get the paternity test and then take custody away from the shit mom that just showed up and clearly gave no shits about her kid.

I would not recommend this book.

Parker and Skylar are neighbors who have the hots for each other but pretend otherwise. But all that changes when first Skylar hurts her hand and Parker takes care of her and later when a woman shows up with a baby claiming to be Parker’s baby momma, and Parker’s needs Skylar to pose as his fiancée.
This was an ok read for me. I think it started off well but later my interest started waning. I enjoy a take charge alpha hero, but Parker felt more like a bully with his demands. In fact I couldn’t connect with either of the characters.
The premise sounded fun and I was sorely disappointed with the book. The only saving grace was Cullen, too cute for words.

This was not what I was expecting. I knew it would be a alpha male, I expecting sexiness.. And I got those things however the plot had a lot of holes and things I just didn't understand.

The relationship between skylar and Paker made no sense .there response to each other didn't sound like what real people would say to each other and the pit relationship journey didn't seem natural.

The fake engagement made no sense for the time and place in the story. It actually didn't seem needed at all. His parent reaction, his reaction to his baby mamma.. All seemed so unlikely and unrealistic.

Both Skylar and Packer had some baggage that could have added some depth to the but it was never really talked about other than touched on when someone reacted based on that past baggage. Could have brought therapy to the forefront.

If you're looking for sex and lots of drama this didn't have a storage of it...once I was able to accept the unrealistic reactions and situations it was a good light read.

Interesting opening to this story. Skylar is highly irritated with Parker but she also knows it's not all about his partying way. Because almost against her wishes she finds him really hot. Parker likes teasing her because yes, he knows she's watching him. And he knows he likes what he sees too.
Cullen is that little boy who shows up at Parker's door. And what a great kid he was shown to be. Especially with all the hurts he has been hiding. And in the beginning he is one starved, frightened kid. Starving for more than just food but love too.
This story was full of emotions and heat too. It also has a man (Parker) who may be a tough, effective special Marines guy but he also can be so stupid relationship wise. And goes about proving it as he messes things up, repeatedly. And his parents are really not very helpful. In fact his mother is so rude, I wanted to slap her into next week. More than once, and I felt like saying, "Get a clue woman and back off."
I liked how the story ended with everyone getting their "stuff' together. And hey, it had a good Epilogue which I always like to see.

" I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book through Netgalley. And these are my honest opinions about it.”

This has a few tropes today I enjoy just not sure I enjoy them altogether. The premise of the story was cute and made me keep reading.
Enemies to lovers, neighbors to loves, fake fiancé… at times I feel like the author couldn’t make up her mind with which tripe she wanted so she through them all in.
That being said the writing was good and the characters and story line flowed very well.
Parker is a marine so lives next door to Skylar who is a craftsman/wood worker. He is constantly annoying her by having parties, super loud guests, people parking in her driveway, you name he’s done it. She ignores him though, instead of feeding into his crap. When they do exchange words you can feel the sexual tension.
Parker’s ex shows up with a kid saying it’s his… that’s when the fake fiancé comes into play, i couldn’t get into this trope. He just throws skylar in this without talking to her first. I never quite got why he had to fake a fiancé, which is another reason why this trope didn’t really set well with me.
Skylar just went along with this… which rubbed me the wrong way. Why? She just lets him pretty much walk so over her.
This was an easy read. Not something I would read again but would recommend it if you like multi tropes of this type.
Received an Arc copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

Parker and Skylar will have you in their corner cheering them on to finding happiness. They are next door neighbors but to Skylar he is the wild marine that throws parties with guests that blocks her driveway. They finally connect when she has a bad accident and needs to get to the hospital. Parker makes sure that he gets her there without her mouthing off at why he isn't needed! That battle will start their path one that will take an intriguing turn when baby mama drama rears its ugly head causing Parker to talk Skylar into becoming his fake fiance. There are so many twists and turns that this story takes all of which will have you glued to the pages for each one! I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
The cover caught my attention first, which led me to read the synopsis. I was hooked and had to read it. It was a quick paced story. An absolute page turner and very steamy. I really enjoyed the enemies-to-lovers plot and the fake engagement. This was a fun read for me.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. Who doesn't love a good romance featuring a Marine? I know I do and this book definitely did not disappoint in the romance category. This ebook is in stores for $2.97 (USD). This is in my top 10 favorite romance books I've read this year. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book! The title and this beautiful cover drew me in and i was excited to read this book! I will be recommending this book to others for readers advisory

This book kind of left me conflicted, sot it is basically a split decision for me. To start I'll say that I found the premise promising but the execution fell a bit flat. As for the characters, I thought they were OK. Skyler had moments when I kind of liked her but Parker was really a jerk. I wish we had gotten a bit deeper with them but alas it was mostly all surface. There definitely were some sparks here and I liked that a lot and the heat they generated. While the story started out working for me, it didn't take long for that to change and so in the end I felt this was an alright read.

Interesting book. Suggestion: if you have an issue with “foul” language, this might not be the book for you. Lucky that I don’t, however, it was a little over the top with the language. But, onto the story!
This is the first book by this author that I have read. Her writing is top notch, holds your interest and you want to find out what happens next. Parker Jax is a bad boy, and don’t we all just love a bad boy? Skylar Radford is the next door neighbor that lusts after him, but doesn’t want him to know it. They are like oil and water, they don’t mix. Then Skylar gets hurt and Parker rides to the rescue, much to her woe. Then she feels beholden to him but doesn’t think that she will have to repay him for helping her. Well, you know how that works out! Then a baby mama and child show up and the favor is called in. Hmm…wonder how that will work out. Will Skylar be able to help Parker? What about the child? Is it his? Only time will tell. I do recommend this book as a quick, easy read.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book for an honest opinion.

When I think of romance, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels and satisfies every romance junkies' heart. This is a perfect books to snuggle up with on any day.

The book was boring but the blurb was amazing, which increased my expectations . I pushed myself hard to read this one.
