Can a disagreeable lawyer and an upbeat young woman find happiness?

Jubilee

My grandmother’s greatest desire was for me to embrace my creativity and find what brings me joy. She left me a sweet apartment and loads of cash to do just that. Except I’m not as creative as I thought and I’m bombing at everything I try. Even worse, the apartment comes with a sourpuss neighbor whose deep scowls and disagreeable attitude make it hard to keep a smile on my face. Yet underneath his stern exterior I find a man just as lonely and confused as me.

Nathan

My life was going great. After five years I’m about to make partner. Until I don’t get it and my boss informs me that clients don’t like me. Nobody does. Well, maybe one person. My annoyingly chipper neighbor. She’s always happy and inviting me along for silly pottery and paint nights, tapestry weaving, and other such nonsense. I’m the last person in the world capable of bringing someone happiness, but I can’t help wishing for once that I could be the reason she smiles.

Desiring My Older Neighbor is a short, sweet and steamy story featuring a cheerful heroine and the surly older man who wins her heart. It’s a standalone with no cliffhangers and a very satisfying HEA!

Lisa's a sucker for anything romance. From middle school on she was sneak reading her mom's romances. Big, beefy man on the cover? She was there!

Alphas, Billionaires, and English Lords- oh my!

But at the end of the day a tender tyrant is what truly made her little heart go pitter patter.

She writes feel-good stories about imperfect people finding their HEA. Because it's not a romance without a most satisfying HEA.

Great story and flow - would recommend!

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2022

This is the first read from this author and I enjoyed it enough to seek out their other works. It is a short story, however, it is not one of those 'I don't know what this is between us - but I'm not fighting it' reads that you get with a lot of short stories. I'm not knocking those, just stating facts.

It is a well-thought-out grumpy/sunshine age gap read that involves a hero who has his plan and he's sticking to it and a heroine who is trying to find herself while honoring her grandmother.

I loved the banter between all the characters and the flow was perfect. There is actual friction, but it is realistic and not annoying.

IMO if you like these genre of reads, you'll enjoy this one as well!

A cute read with some steam

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2021

“Next to her I feel primitively male as something warm and possessive pulses through me. A foreign instinct to draw her closer and keep her from harm.”

So this book was a solid three stars for me most of the way through. I didn’t think there was anything all that special about it. I enjoy my age gap romances do you have some age gap drama in them and this one really didn’t. It was only mentioned that he was older than her and nothing really came of that.

I didn’t really like either characters either. She was way too Miss sunshine for me and was really pushy about their relationship which I don’t tend to like in my heroines. I know that he was supposed to be grumpy but he was almost such an ass that I didn’t care about what happened to him.

The thing that saved this book for me was the dark spot and then the make up afterwards. I liked that Jubilee didn’t give into him right away and she really made him suffer. What can I say I love a hero that suffers. I also liked that when they were going to get back together you could really see how tortured Nathan was by what happened.

All in all a good read.

A cute age gap, opposites attract read.

Lee has an energetic persona and to someone as uptight as Nathan he automatically doesn’t like her.
After months of being her bubbly self her grumpy neighbor hasn’t even said one word to her but suffers determined to break that wall of silence. She gets her moment one day after Nathan forgets his apartment key at work and she invites him to wait for the maintenance man inside her apartment.

Grab your copy today and happy reading.

This story was slightly different from others as the characters move from unfriendly, to lovers, to break up neighbors back to lovers. She doesn't give up even when he breaks her heart. Stubborn people finally make a loving couple.

Somehow - just - ... did not do it for me.

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021

Honestly - I think the best way to describe this story for me is... bleh... i.e. it did nothing for me. The story itself is not badly written at all, rather the opposite in fact. It is quite well written and the characters are... perhaps the bleh lies in the characters. I made just no connection to this story and can not give it more than three stars. It is getting these fine three stars because it is well written and despite me not being able to connect with this story, I feel that maybe it is just on my side. But some stories are just like that.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The author has given us a wonderful older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Nathan and Jubilee and does not let go. Nathan is so focused on his career that he never allows anything to distract him from his goals. However, Jubilee is a happy, perky and joyous young woman and is causing him to be distracted. Will he be able to push her away?

I loved reading this book, short and a really enjoyable. I love Jubilee, she is a little miss sunshine and Nathan, is a grumpy lawyer. Together they are the cutest couple and the epilogue was brilliant.

A tall, dark, brooding hero who is good with his hands in every sense of the expression....? What more could a bubbly, younger woman want??!

I really enjoyed reading this story, very uplifting and humour to get you smiling. Well worth reading this first in the love unexpected.

quick read, enjoyable enough

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2022

On page 3 the male lead started an internal dialogue about what the female leads nipples looked like and I have to say, I could have done with a bit more reader foreplay before going there! Still, this was a quick read and I liked the story. Execution was a little off, can’t quite put my finger on what is was lacking. Would try this author again though and recommend this book for an undemanding, quick read.
