Madison: How I Met My Neighbors
One bottle of lube starts the day from hell.
Four gorgeous new neighbors end it.
Relax... it wasn't that kind of day.
After a mortifying accident earns its place as one of five biggest regrets of my entire life, I'm convinced things can't possibly get worse. I've been wrong before, sure, but never this spectacularly. By the time the universe is done humbling me on a random Wednesday—no thanks to one very misread bottle of lube—my life unravels faster than I can keep up.
After an introduction that will surely haunt me forever, my four new neighbors are thrust headfirst into the chaos that my life suddenly becomes... and, weirdly, they decide to stay. Not just stay. They help. Constantly. In fact, it's almost like they enjoy the madness. Between the cheating ex who keeps popping up like an unwanted pimple, my best friends who consider kidnapping a perfectly acceptable hobby, and the general mayhem that seems personally invested in ruining my life, my new neighbors are there for it all.
When most sane people would run screaming, they don't. They stick around.
What starts as a catastrophic day spirals into something I never anticipated. Because the more chaos I bring, the closer we become. And somewhere between the madness and laughter, the lines start to blur.
From one wrong bottle, one disaster of a day, and one embarrassing moment...

Hilarious, steamy and heartwarming all in one
TL;DR Hot mess express (but still a successful kickass lady) meets 4 extremely hot knights in shining armor. Chaos ensues.
The events of the first day in this book had me laughing so hard, I had to reconsider my life. To the author: congrats on crafting the ONLY character in the world that can say "flaps" and not immediately gross me out LOL. It's completely in Maddie's lexicon and I love her so much. She written so well, and I honestly loved her more than the guys. Her antics and personality are great, and I'm fully on her side with the Autobots and the seagulls.
The book is written so well, the characters all come to life and suck you right in. I was actually reading *slower* because I didn't want the book to be over. I can already tell I'll be re-reading this one. Everything is just so well done and I really enjoyed it. The guys, of course are swoon-worthy and hot as hell. I'm a suckered for the silent one, so Rayne is my favorite, closely followed by Ryan...and Caiden...and...Baxter..... look it's why choose for a reason okay? It's TOO HARD TO CHOOSE. I genuinely loved it all.

I was snort-laughing and wheezing at midnight as quietly as I could so I didn't wake my man. Very few books have ever caused me to react this way. It was actually funny all the way through and a very cute story. I need a spinoff story with the tattoo shop hotties and maybe one of Maddie's friends?? 🥺🙏🏻 And THEN another with the Irish UFC hunks 🤔 I keep editing this review my awesome ideas. And THENNNN one with the rockstars!! All three of her friends boo'd up, too. BAM. ❤️

absolutely fabulous
This story is hilarious from start to finish! Extremely well written I fell in love with the characters pretty much instantly. although I was crying with laughter from the start there are also some touching romantic and swoon worthy parts as well. This is my kind of book and I am beyond sad that now I have finished it I won’t get that first read feeling again, but I would read it again and again. It would be amazing if the author did a second book following this cast of characters through another story maybe Christmas with the parents and perhaps maybe extending the family with a pregnancy or something, o would be down with that!

I honestly haven't laughed this hard in a while reading a book. Maddie is chaos wrapped in a pretty blue bow. She is a force to be reckoned with and you never know what she's going to do or say. Her guys are exactly what she needs to complete her, not calm her. I loved that about this book. They love her exactly how she is. Especially when she's a klutz, goes on a rambling spree, has to deal with her crazy ex or is paranoid about robots and seagulls.

Maddie and her neighbors
This was a hilarious read. I really loved Maddie. There was a lot going on in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the guys and all that they had to put up with.
This book is a reverse harem with one on one time and maybe some watching but not joining.
There is some stalking but doesn't involve any of the mmc.

4.5 ⭐
This book was an absolute hoot, it had me laughing from the very first page. Maddie was one of the best FMCs I've read in ages and her men were all adorable and swoony. A highly recommended read.

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the FMC so much and she was so funny. This is exactly what I want more of in contemporary why choose romance. There isn't enough of them in my opinion! The story was great and there was the perfect amount of spice! I hope an audiobook gets made for this because I would love to listen to this!
