Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A sexy, swoony falling-for-the-neighbor standalone romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely!<\/p>\n

Just my luck – my new next door neighbor is a unicorn.<\/p>\n

Yep, the British hottie is clearly a mythical man because – get this – he’s a sexy, witty, charming, big-hearted single dad.<\/p>\n

Who, wait for it, wants to find Mrs. Right and get hitched.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of man, and it\u2019s a darn shame I\u2019m not on the market. If I were, his accent alone would melt me. Add in the fact that he’s a veterinarian, and my animal-loving heart would be flip flopping.<\/p>\n

But my heart’s on the mend. I’m a single parent like him, and raising my teenage daughter is my top priority. Plus, falling for a guy who shares your property line is a line you shouldn\u2019t cross.<\/p>\n

Still, I’m an outgoing gal, so I do the neighborly thing and offer to be his dating insider.<\/p>\n

Surely, I can help this small town\u2019s most eligible bachelor ever navigate his way through all the fantastic single ladies eager to make his acquaintance.<\/p>\n

What could possibly go wrong in helping the dream guy next door find his one true love?<\/p>\n

So I set him up on one date, two dates, three dates — and I\u2019m about to find out exactly how dangerous my offer is.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dream Guy Next door<\/i> is so much fun! It\u2019s a feel good read that will put a smile on your face and warm your heart. I couldn\u2019t get enough of January and Liam and I adored their story.<\/p>\n

January has spent more than ten years raising her daughter and she is finally making a name for herself as a contractor in the small town of Duck Falls. She is happily single and isn\u2019t planning on changing her status; however, things don\u2019t always go as planned especially when the hot new neighbor may just be her dream guy!<\/p>\n

When Liam moves next door to January, there is an instant spark. Yet, after talking and getting to know each other they quickly discover that they want completely different things in their lives, putting a stop to being more than just friends. Liam is looking to settle down and find the one who can complete his family.\u00a0January has finally built a career and is happy in her life.\u00a0You can\u2019t help who you fall in love with and before they know it, real feelings grow and they must decide if their futures include each other.<\/p>\n

For a few seconds, we stay like that, gazes locked, eyes searching, longing wrapping around us.
\nLike a low, steady pulse of music.
\nLike a waft of smoke.
\nIt\u2019s longing stitched with wishes and wants, with desire and heat. With things we can\u2019t have because we\u2019re out of sync. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I loved the friendship that forms between January and Liam. Because they are not looking for the same thing, they don\u2019t need to impress each other. They still flirt and the banter is fantastic and they really let go when they don\u2019t expect anything except friendship.<\/p>\n

I loved experiencing January and Liam fall for each other. Their connection is undeniable and their chemistry is sizzling. They really bring on the heat but it\u2019s their friendship that really allows them to take a chance on love. They get along so well and understand each other. They don\u2019t push their ideas on one another and are accepting of who they are and where they are in their lives. They are mature and there is no stupid drama or childishness between them. They are functional as a couple, their communication is fantastic, and even when they had to figure out their futures, they still were amazing.<\/p>\n

Overall, it\u2019s funny, swoony, and sexy with a whole lot of heart. Not only do I love the romance but I adored the relationships between January and Wednesday, and Liam and Ethan. They are superstar parents who are involved in their kid\u2019s lives and support them, love them, and put them first.<\/p>\n
