Description

*Preorder the next book from Kathryn Freeman – full of fun, flirting and chemistry that leaps off the page!*

Mia Abbott’s move to Manchester was supposed to give her time and space from all the disastrous romantic choices she’s made in her past. But then the hot guy who lives opposite – the one who works out every day at exactly 10 a.m., not that Mia has noticed thank-you-very-much – starts leaving notes in his window…for her.

Bar owner Luke Doyle has his own issues to deal with but as he shows Mia the sites of her new city he also shows her what real romance looks like for the first time. And when he cooks up a signature cocktail in her honour, she realises that the man behind the bar is even more enticing than any of his creations. And once she’s had a taste she knows it will never be enough!

I am an absolute sucker for rom-com’s where the two love interests end up exchanging notes in some adorable way, so the hook for this one drew me in right away. I loved the way the relationship between Mia and Luke grew. At first, I wasn’t so sure about Luke because, like Mia, I thought he was a bit of a player and I didn’t want him to like Mia just because she turned him down. But watching him fall in love with Mia’s quirky sassiness was so sweet and genuine. By the end of the book, I almost loved Luke even more than I loved Mia because I could totally understand where he was coming from.

I wish there had been more pay-off with one particular storyline, because it seemed like the situation resolved too quickly and there could have been a lot more drama especially since everything with the secret phone number had been teased for the entire book. But I did really like that Mia, in the end, did not allow small things to sabotage their relationship.

I loved Grace and the reveal with her. I had not been expecting that at all! Freya drove me nuts in a real-feeling way. Mia’s sister Elle was also a great character. I wish we got to see even more of Mia’s mother earlier on because she’s hilarious and blunt. And I loved Stan and Naomi little arc.

Overall this book was sweet and funny, and it really made me want to visit Manchester! Thank you so much for the chance to review it. I’ll be posting my reviews to amazon and my Instagram page on the publication date!

Firstly, I loved the sweetness of the cover. Once I started reading i couldn't stop. It was a lovely heart warming read with such a wonderfully strong female lead. I loved Mia, unapologetically herself and I love that.

This was my first encounter with this author and I love the ease of the writing, I never felt like the chapters dragged on or I was becoming uninterested. Such a lovely read. I will definitely be looking out for more from this author.



The only slight problem was the ARC format for this book was a little bit all over the place- some of the spacing was a bit distracting.

Who doesn't love a story about a strong, intelligent and unapologetically herself such as Mia? She may have been gutted at times throughout the book whether it be Freya, Luke or the other women, but she spoke her mind and got true love and happiness as a result. A true role model. Great heartwarming read.

Hi, my name is Laura and I am in love with this book.

I am of course a fan of a high-quality rom-com and Mr Right Across the Street has it in spades. If you need something to read over a rainy weekend this is the one. Fall into the world of Luke and Mia or as I started calling them when raving about this book to my friends - Bunny Man and Coding Girl.

I started this book this morning and did not move until I finished it. I am obsessed and ready to read anything that Kathryn Freeman puts out for the foreseeable.

Also, Mia kinda makes me want to mess with my hair so wish me luck. But rom-com fans everywhere give this book a go.

Let’s face it, with more stringent Covid restrictions in place this week, we’re all looking for something a little whimsical to take our mind off things. Kathryn Freeman’s RomCom #4, ‘Mr. Right Across The Street,’ will have you laughing and reaching for the kleenex box. Due to be published January 22, 2021, this gives you enough time to read the previous 3 books in the collection. You won’t be disappointed!

Mia Abbot, the 30-year-old single computer nerd with no make-up and green highlights has just arrived to put roots down in singleton city. The move to Manchester is proving difficult, but Mia is determined to leave Somerset, and her ex-boyfriend-stalker, behind her and attempt to make some new friends. She soon settles into a routine based around the 10 o’clock Lukeshow. Her hot neighbour across the street does his workout at 10:00 and she has a front-row seat! After a few lame Friday nights on her own nursing a Horlicks, Mia notices a note stuck in his window. Her heart flips when she discovers that the hot bartender not only knows she watches him but also when she discovers he’s eager to communicate through notes posted on the window. Didn’t she move to Manchester to forget men? If she replies via note, it’ll confirm that he knows she watches him. You’ll have to read this fantastic novel to find out Mia’s next move.

This 5-star romcom had all the feels. I absolutely love how Mia has names for all her neighbours; Immaculate Woman, Mr. Snog A lot, Mr. Muscles, Hot Guy and Chipmunk. I, too, live in a condo and have names for my neighbours. Sadly, no 10:00 Lukeshows here! Having not read any of Freeman’s previous novels, I enjoyed her sense of humour and a well-paced plot. Her characters stole the show. I do hope to read more about The Bar Beneath and the lovable, yet grumpy, 67-year-old neighbour, Stan. For those looking for a great feel-good romance with a side of giggles, this is the book you need. Freeman writes to entertain while she subtly hits on the most basic of human needs – the need to feel loved and accepted by others.

Thank you to Kathryn Freeman, Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter and NetGalley for a fantastic advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you once again, Harper Collins UK, for approving me for one of your fantastical reads!

Coming right out of a two month reading slump, I needed something light and comedic to help me get into the flow of things--I couldn't have chosen a better pick than this book. It was romantic, hilarious and sugary sweet without leaving a bad aftertaste on my tongue.

For fans of Sally Thorne's best-selling debut Novel, The Hating Game, which is soon to be adapted onto the big screen- I couldn't recommend this book enough to them. It will leave them feeling fulfilled, immensely happy and wanting to pick this book right up again!

I adored this book. The characters came to life for me and the story was a lot of fun. The main characters are relatable. I really liked the setting also. It was like a rom com Rear Window but without the murder mayhem. I really enjoyed reading this author and I may now be reading all her books. I cannot wait to read more stories from her.

Perfect speed for me! And I enjoyed that even though he looked like a player and he was previously casual about his other relationships, he was really a solid, good guy and that the problems were things she needed to work out.

I would like to thank NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for providing me with an ARC in exchange fro an honest review.
What drew me in was the title and the plot because it reminded me of one of my favorite movies Rear Window. Mia moves to Manchester to get away from a controlling ex and meets Luke a who leaves a note in the window for her. From there their relationship begins to blossom. The chemistry between Mia and Luke was great and I found myself smiling in some parts of the book. My day was filled with me reading because I couldn't put this book down.
I am definitely going to read more books my Kathryn Freeman.
