Catching Feelings For The Thug Next Door
Keira + Kassan are back in this spicy, heart throbbing FINALE!
Keira is gearing up for the New Year with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Her friends have planned a long, cozy weekend cabin getaway with their significant others, leaving her as the only one without a partner. Determined not to feel out of place, Keira dives into a string of terrible dates, hoping to find someone to bring along. But as each date flops harder than the last, she’s left with no choice but to ask the man she’s been trying to avoid—Kassan, the neighbor who’s been living rent-free in her thoughts after a one night stand.
To her surprise, Kassan agrees to join her. But what starts as a simple favor quickly turns into something more as their undeniable chemistry takes over during the trip. By the end of the weekend, Keira and Kassan are no longer just neighbors—they’re something much deeper, ready to explore where their unexpected cabin connection might lead.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was such a satisfying finale for Keira and Kassan. Short, yes, but it never felt thin or incomplete. The story picked up right where the first book left off and gave their connection room to breathe, especially outside the bubble of a one night stand. Watching them spend real time together made everything click in a way that felt natural.
Kassan continues to be that quiet, steady presence who knows who he is and stands on it. He is thoughtful, intentional, and very clear about how he feels, which made the emotional moments hit even harder. Keira, on the other hand, felt more settled here. She is still ambitious and independent, but this time she allows herself to want love without overthinking it into oblivion. Their dynamic felt warm and genuine.
For a shorter story, this delivered exactly what I wanted. There was a solid plot, real emotional progression, spice that made sense for where they were in their relationship, and a HEA that actually felt complete. Nothing felt rushed, and nothing felt like filler.
This series ended on such a strong note for me. Thee Tasha Marie knows how to tell a love story that feels grounded, romantic, and fun without unnecessary drama. Kassan and Keira are absolutely a couple I will miss, and I would happily read anything else set in this world.

I love him! He is like the perfect mix of a thug and gentleman. That’s just my type. I wouldn’t come up off.

This was short but definitely gave you all the feels.
Spice
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Considering the length, this book was deliciously spicy. What I loved most was that the 🌶️ made sense; it wasn’t just filler to make the story erotic. Every spicy moment added to the connection between the characters.
Chemistry Between the MCs
💕💕💕💕/5
The chemistry felt natural and unforced. I loved how both MCs communicated their feelings, it made their bond feel genuine and organic.
Plot
📖📖📖📖📖/5
A super cute, drama-free, budding love story.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I’d love to see this on screen! It gave spicy Hallmark vibes with a touch of Black culture.
Highly recommend as palette cleanser or anyone looking for quick read!!!

this was a great sequel to "How My Neighbor Stole My Panties", we get to see more depth to Keira and Kassan as they couple up to go out for a cozy weekend with some of Keira's friends.
if Kassan is what we consider to be the "thug next door", then i'd be catching feelings too. he was honest about his past, made better choices in his present to better his future; he's fine, funny and charming. Keira and Kassan were both reluctant to fall into feelings with each other, but the more time they spent over such a brief weekend, the stronger their feelings grew! i adored the epilogue and all i'm left with is heart eyes, wishing for more adventures with this adorable couple!
can’t we just get a whole series about them? 🥰✨

Yaassss neighbor
First, he stole her panties.. then he stole her heart.. what turned out initially as a one night stand from the previous book, has blossomed into real feelings.. invited to a weekend friend group, Keira is the only one without a plus one.. so she invite the neighbor, Kassan, she can’t stop thinking about.. they bonded during the trip along with fun and games with friends.. and the steamy sessions were just enough spice.. they eventually committed to a relationship and ended up moving in together and pregnant with a baby boy.. enjoyed this novella follow up

Babbyyyyyyy give me the thug next door please and thank you. He was perfectly balanced, had a side of hood, good and the perfect gentleman. Loved this novella and the spice was just right. I knew from book one they were in love lol. This my kind of dream man lol. Kassan wasn’t a dog, he just never had someone want more out of him.
Keira did the right thing by inviting Kassan on that trip. She low-key shot her shot and the chemistry bloomed into a real relationship. I absolutely loved the epilogue. I love when then author gives you the complete perfect picture.

Much Better
So book 1 didn't do anything but upset me with how short it was and how little ground it covered, but book 2 allowed us to learn more about Kassan and Kei and really see their friendship and love blossom. Some moments were so cute I was in here smiling all big and swooning. Then the epilouge was the perfect ending to tell a complete story. I enjoyed it!

Taking that leap
Who would have known that taking some panties would change their lives for the best making their future brighter fulfilling something neither was completely ready for, great short read.

Omg!! I just love them so much. I had to read both books back to back. I just love when the main characters vibe together and they didn’t even think it would lead to that. I love a HEA+B 🥰.

This was short and sweet. Our first introduction to these two was steamy and this did not disappoint. I wish it was longer but you gave us just enough. Well done👏🏾

Now who said a fling couldn’t evolve into a fairytale ending? Kei and Kassan deserve each other? They mesh well together. Great read!

Great read 🔥
Kassan stealing those panties led to him gaining a woman, child and house. They are no longer neighbors, but lovers after an impromptu cabin trip.
