Objects of Attraction #4
His Package
His package ended up inside my box. Calm down, perv. My mailbox. As soon as I saw what was inside,I knew two belonged to my hot neighbor, and he had a dirty secret. Normally, I was more of a cat person. As in, if I had to choose who lives, I’m going to take the cat nine times out of ten. It’s not that I particularly like cats, I just don’t particularly like most people. My neighbor wasn’t most people. He lived in the apartment across the hall, and he was your typical, buttoned-up, fancy shoes, smells like a Calvin Klein commercial, looks like he actually flosses kind of guy. I mean, seriously? Wasn’t flossing just made up by dentists so they could go on their little power trips once every six months?The point was, this guy very obviously had his life all put together. He was Mr. Perfect, and If you asked me, he needed to be brought down a few pegs to wallow with the rest of us.Cue his long, thick, package penetrating my tight little mailbox.I know. It’s absolutely sick . It was such an obvious ploy to hit on me. Forget the fact that the mail lady put it there, my neighbor and I both knew what kind of game he was playing. Oh yeah, we totally knew. It was on. It was in , if you would. I accidentally dropped a knife on the package a few times back in my apartment. It basically sprang open on its own, and I had no choice but to look inside. His dirty little secret was staring me right in the face. As it turned out, Mr. Perfect wasn’t so perfect. Who knew? I knew. And I was absolutely going to enjoy every second of what was coming.

About the author
Penelope Bloom
69 books2,642 followersUSA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Penelope Bloom is taking her first flight into romantasy—and yes, there are dragons. After years of contemporary romance, she's temporarily trading meet-cutes for magical academies and coffee shops for castles that reek of blood. She promises the banter is just as sharp, but now it comes with deadly consequences.
Fun fact: “Penelope Bloom” started as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the family dog, Penelope—never meant to be anything serious. But then the books took off, and the name stuck. Behind the scenes, Penelope Bloom is actually a husband-and-wife team. He handles the writing; she edits, helps with brainstorming, and runs the reader-facing side of things (like social media and messages). So if you’ve chatted with “Penelope” online, you’ve likely been talking to her—with the author chiming in whenever needed. Together, they’ve built the voice readers know and love.

Another great read from this series! Having previously read "His Banana", I think by far this one is my favorite! This series has humor that is not for everyone. Some like me who has a dry humor and love quirky/funny characters, will love this one. Others may not which s a shame cause you are missing out.....
So with that said, one of the reasons I loved "His Banana" & "His Package" is because they are both safe, funny & with lovable characters that I adored! In "His Package", The Hero (Liam) and heroine (Lilith) live in the same apartment building in NY right across from each other. Liam is a billionaire who is being stalked by a crazy step-sister (no blood relation). This psycho b**ch has been harassing Liam since they were kids and because she wanted him to f**k her and he turned her down, she has since been making his life miserable by spreading rumors to the press & other things that made him temporarily leave his condo to move in next door to Lilith incognito in hopes that his SS would give up her stalker behavior & get bored.
As the book opens (& for the title), Lilith opens her mailbox to get her mail and finds a package meant for Liam that contains documents with a bogus name of "Ben Smith". Liam also has a package in his mailbox that was suppose to be for Lilith in which she had ordered a "seven point-two-inch long and two-inch wide Dildo"!
From there they begin a beautiful friendship & love affair as they get to know one another & open up to each other! What I loved most about this couple is that the Author took time to develop them so that by the end, you knew as a reader that they were meant to be! It was not all about sex (though there are many steamy & hot sex scenes!).
Lilith is a character that is snarky & sarcastic. I LOVED this character so much! She doesn't have a filter & doesn't accept bullies! I loved how she & Liam work together to get revenge on the evil Step-Sister! I also loved that any angst that was written which was mainly due to this SS from hell, they immediately TALKED & RESOLVED their issues! (how many times does that happen in romances?).
Lilith also works for the Heroes in Book 1 & 2. I loved some of the lines that she & William (her boss) had:
“He’s not like me, no,” I said. “He’s more like your brother, maybe.”
William spontaneously gagged. It actually sounded convincing enough that I wasn’t sure it was staged. “Bruce? You agreed to a date with an OCD, telephone pole up the ass, horrible sense of humor, worst half of a pair of twins kind of guy?”
“No. I mean, I don’t really know what’s up his ass, I didn’t look, yet. And I just mean he's more like Bruce in that he's actually kind of serious. And I hardly know him. My dildo got delivered to his mailbox, and I got his package in mine. So he invited me to eat. Or dinner. Or whatever."
“First thing’s first, Lilith. The next time you talk to me about any of your disgusting sex toy hobbies, you’re fired. I don’t need to know what kind of devil spawn you shove up your hoo-hah, okay?”
“Seven point two inches,” I said slowly. “Purple. Thick veins—”
“Stop!” He shook his head and pressed his fingers to his temples. “More importantly, there’s a premium opportunity for innuendo here. You realize that, right? His package in your box? You could even say he—”
“Already covered all that,” I sighed.
Then there is the crazy granny who has so many funny lines that I can't put them all in here! I LOVED the Granny in Book 1 and loved her here too!
“How’s your dark little life treating you?” Grammy asked me.
“Just waiting for the next disappointing turn of events. What about you, planning on dying any time soon?”
She barked a laugh. “The moment you plan to die is the moment you stop living.”
“Nice. Did you read that on a Hallmark card?”
"Ugh,” I said, but I almost couldn’t stop myself from grinning. “It’s so gross when you try to talk ‘hip.’ Can you please not do that? It’s such a cliché old person thing. You realize that, right? You didn’t invent trying to make young people uncomfortable by using their words.”
“You’re too young to know what I did or didn’t invent, squirt. And it’s only cliché if I’m not aware, which I am, which makes it meta. And no, I’m not going to explain what that means to you.”
I sighed. “Whether it’s ‘meta’ or not, it’s gross. You should just use old people words like whippersnapper and hooligan instead of talking like a seven-year-old.”
“Is it also gross if I tell you that I just got some action last night and I’m still feeling sore? Can’t tell if it’s because he did a good job or if it’s because I’m in my seventies, but damn my hammies are tight today.”
This as I said, was a safe read with no OP drama (except for the bat-shit crazy SS of Liam's who causes all the drama throughout the book with her shenanigans). Liam is not a Manho. In fact he said he was celibate for a while now because he is too busy with his business & Lilith only had a "partial" lover back in High school in which she & her boyfriend tried to have sex but he only got in "partially"!( you have to read that part as it cracked me up!). So technically I guess she is a virgin though her "dildo" took care of the problem long before Liam came into the picture!
I also loved how she & Liam in the end paid the b**ch SS back! Their revenge had me in stitches as I could literally picture that happening to someone!
“When I found out about the cameras, I wanted nothing more than to watch her life come crashing down around her. I still do. I guess the difference now is if I had to choose between you and revenge, I’d choose you.”
“Good thing you don’t have to pick one. Let’s put it this way. If I had a penis, I would have a revenge boner right now.”
Liam choked out a laugh. “I’m… pretty sure I’ve never heard of that before.”
“It’s when you get a boner because—”
He held up a hand, his grin widening. “The phrase is self-explanatory. I just meant I don’t know if penises work that way.”
“Mine would,” I said quietly, never taking my eyes from Celia’s house. “It would be throbbing right now and pointed straight toward that evil, cold bitch.”
For me, this story was perfection! A couple that I LOVED who had chemistry, love, humor and who just "fit"! A plot that was safe without all the crap of manhos, cheating & the like! But most of all, it kept me in stitches throughout and I have a feeling that this one will be my go-to book whenever I get bored and need something good!
Highly recommend to all!

Book four in the Objects of Attraction series which at time of posting is available on Kindle Unlimited.
In the communal postal area in her apartment block, Lilith find a package in her hole that doesn't belong to her. The package belongs to Liam, the guy across the corridor. It would seem that her package has incorrectly been assigned to Liam's hole. Lilith is annoyed.
Another fun, easy reading instalment in this series.
Three stars.

Not my favorite but still a good laugh.
Now I love Lilith, so I was super excited to dive into His Package. Yet, I didn't love this book that much. Yes, the drama and the smut were delivered but other than that I felt kind of bored in this one? I don't know what it was but it just kind of ended up being meh to me.
In this, you will meet Lilith and Liam. Yes, I love Lilith and she's my spirit animal and still is but her romance with Liam was just okay. I guess I was just expecting more from this book than what I originally got but I'm also kind of okay with it as well?
Celia was crazy and definitely reminded me of William/Bruce's parents. They seemed like they all knew each other at the crazy convention because they were all that. I did laugh out loud with the whole dildo scene - heck, every dildo scene - but that's about it.
Overall, I was expecting more and got less than I deserved. On to the next book I guess.

This was absolutely hilarious in an almost dark and deliciously depraved way. The final revenge plot was by far the BEST. This is worth the read. A fun relationship, revenge plots, spy equipment, a sassy grandma, and an over indulged man child, thrown with some steamy sex - what more could ask for?
UPDATED 2/2021:
I added audio to the mix. I still love Lilith and Liam and Lilith's dark and twisted outlook on "incidents" that happen around her and the pleasure she derives from others displeasure.
If you've been keeping up with the series, then you will get to see peeks of prior couples. If you haven't, there's nothing to fear. The first time I read this was the first time I'd been introduced to the series and I never felt lost.
Story: 4.5 stars
Narration: 4 stars

This hilarious new romantic comedy, His Package, is book 4 in Penelope Bloom’s Objects of Attraction series and it can be read as a standalone. This book had me in stitches and nearly snorting coffee out nose with Lilith’s antics and the sexual play on words. In this author’s previous book in the series, His Treat , I was intrigued by Lilith’s dark, sarcastic personality so I was thrilled that she got her own book. She is a rather unique heroine - a bit dark and no one would ever mistake her for a person with a bubbly personality who likes people. It is because of interesting personality, that I loved her. Liam is a hard-working, billionaire who has a secret. He is intrigued by Lilith - a little scared of her at first, but he loves to see her opening up to him. He is kind and loving and would be the perfect boy friend. I love the witty banter between as well as their steamy scenes together.
I enjoyed seeing return of some secondary characters from the author’s previous novels in the series - especially the humorous William!-As well as the introduction of Price and Kade. Celia, Liam’s step-sister, was the ultimate villain and integral to the storyline. His Package is told from a dual POV which I think was appropriate for this book. Overall, I really enjoyed this His Package. I love all of the euphemisms she is able to come up. This was an entertaining romantic comedy that moved at a good pace, had great characters, and lots of humor. I really hope that this author continues to write books in this series. I received this book as an ARC and I voluntarily leave this review.

OMG I loved this story. What a wonderful addition to these books. His Package was a laugh out loud kind of story between two head strong characters that will (after a bit) fall hard in love.
Lilith is so dang funny and she really did a more serious counter part. In comes her new neighbor "Bob" aka Liam. When a package (haha) gets mixed up at the mailboxes and he ends up getting her "very" special package, he ends up at her apartment to get his package back. Needless to say he is quite surprised when she just come right out and starts talking about her new friend.
Liam is hiding from a crazy step sister. He is in no mood for more crazy women in his life. But he just can't seem to get his neighbor out of his mind. And to be honest she takes different to a whole new level. BUT different in a good way. So what will he do?
Loved it

WHERE TO START...
[image error]
Well, if you like adults acting immature with their behaviors, stupid and over the top "revenge" and pranks shit, with a dash of horrifying stepsister incest and people with too much money not knowing what to do with it... this book is for you.
Was also kind of wondering if this book was really written for adults and not children who enjoy elaborate childish pranks and keeping adults up-to-date with the urban dictionary slang. I find myself scratching my head with the outlandish behaviors of each character here (miraculously, it's not William who was the child-like prankster from the previous installment that was annoying here, it's the main characters instead. For once William is tolerable compared to the circus clowns that are Liam and Lilith together)
Anyway, if this book is your type of jam, read it. If not then you are welcome I just saved your time!

ליאם עובר לגור בדירה שממול הדירה של לילית' (שהיא המזכירה של וויליאם, אחיו של ברוס מהספר הראשון בסדרה, his banana). חבילה שלה מגיעה אליו וחבילה שלו מגיעה אליה בטעות, וכך הם נפגשים. ליאם מסתיר בהתחלה את זהותו כי אחותו החורגת עוקבת אחריו ומטרידה אותו, והוא מנסה להתחמק ממנה. ליאם ולילית' נדלקים אחד על השנייה וכו וכו, אבל צריכים להתמודד עם האחות החורגת שמנסה להפריד ביניהם. העלילה מופרכת לחלוטין אבל די משעשעת, הדמויות כיפיות והכתיבה טובה. טראש כיפי.

Seppur la storia non mi abbia colpita particolarmente, rimane per il momento quella che mi è piaciuta meno della serie, le caratterizzazioni dei personaggi sono fatte molto bene. Il loro rapporto è fin dall'inizio turbolento e velato di un'ironia sottile. Sono una coppia assortita con due gusti opposti. L'attrazione che provano è reciproca e nota fin da subito, però poi c'è un tira e molla che non mi ha soddisfatta in pieno. Comunque è una lettura carina, ma non indimenticabile ecco.
Se non cercate nulla di pretenzioso è perfetto per passare qualche ora in compagnia di due protagonisti fuori dagli schemi.

3 - 3,5⭐
klíčová slova: pro dospělé, romance, erotika, humor, série
Po docela katastrofickém Jeho zákusku přišel podstatně lepší Jeho balík, další knihu v sérii od Penelope Bloom, i když prvenství si u mě stále drží první dva díly 😊👍. Ty mě bavily nejvíce. Asi to bude tím, že za tu dobu jsem přečetla několik romanticko-erotických knih, včetně 8 úžasných knih od Elle Kennedy ❤️. Jeho balík tedy neohromil, ale ani nezklamal. Je to taková jednohubka ujíždějící na všem možném. Vážně, přijde mi, že se autorka pokaždé snaží vymyslet něco ještě šílenějšího😂, než bylo v knize předešlé. Tedy hlavně pokud jde o babičku a Williama Chambersona. Mám už prostě trochu pocit, že čeho je moc, toho je příliš 😅.
Pokud jde o Jeho balík tak Lilith byla bezvadná hrdinka. Její kousavé poznámky mě bavily, ale s postupem příběhu, tedy v druhé půlce jsem měla pocit, že se mi ta holka někam ztrácí 🤔. První polovina knihy mi přišla jednoduše lepší než ta druhá 😁. Čeho je vážně škoda, je ten konec. To si autorka opravdu mohla odpustit 😓. K postavám mi to absolutně nesedělo a vážně moc by mě zajímalo, o jaký časový úsek v knize jde. Řekla bych pár měsíců.
Abych to shrnula, Jeho balík byl lepší než Jeho zákusek 😄, ale odvařená z něj nejsem. I přesto však plánuji v sérii pokračovat 🙂. Už proto, že jsem zvědavá, s jakými bláznivinami přijde autorka příště. Jen doufám, že to bude více vtipné a méně trapné 😅.

Das Buch ist noch dezent besser als die beiden Vorgänger, kommt aber bei weitem nicht an Band 1 ran. Für mich hat sich die Reihe damit auch erledigt, weitere Bücher werde ich wohl eher nicht mehr lesen.

His Package by Penelope Bloom
Holiday Romcom. 4th Standalone in a series.
4.5 Stars
His Package by Penelope Bloom was the last of the 2018 Christmas season for me, and I am so glad it ended on a high note! I loved this book, and I can’t wait to go back and read the previous books, His Banana, Her Cherry, and His Treat. Though I never felt like this wasn’t a standalone, now that I know they are related, I look forward to going back for more. The blurbs of every one of them is so clever with double entendres!
“His package ended up inside my box.
Calm down, perv. My mailbox .
As soon as I saw what was inside,
I knew two things:
It belonged to my hot neighbor, and he had a dirty secret.”
I absolutely LOVED Lilith’s snark. How can you not love a character with this attitude?
People always thought I wasn't a "people person," whatever that even means. Well, guess what, assholes? I was totally a people person.
But there’s something I enjoy even more than casual acts of the universe’s great balancing act. I don’t excite easily, and I don’t make a habit of smiling—but I especially enjoy waiting for karma to strike down someone when they’ve pissed me off.
Lilith has a new hot neighbor across the hall, Liam, who rented the apartment to hide from his crazy stepsister who is trying to ruin his life because he wouldn’t sleep with her. When Lilith and Liam’s packages get switched, he comes over with her 7-inch “package” and she has no problem letting him know how she uses it!!! I loved Lilith down to her dark little soul, and all of the supporting characters were amazing as well.
“How’s your dark little life treating you?” Grammy asked me.
“Just waiting for the next disappointing turn of events. What about you, planning on dying any time soon?”
I loved how Lilith really grew throughout the story, and we got to see what was behind the snark. Besides the funny lines, this was actually a fairly mature and well-handled relationship, and I really enjoyed that for a change. But my favorite thing in a book is banter, and let me tell you, there was TONS of great banter!
“Look at you.” I made a floppy hand gesture toward him. “How many times have you ever had to do more than wink at a girl to get her to strip naked and beg to have sex with you? I feel like I owe it to the world to make it hard for you.”
“Well, you’ve accomplished that. A few times, actually.”
Oh, my... I wasn't a blusher, but my face felt a little hot. I must've been getting a fever.
Most of the time, a guy like Liam would kind of not be my type. He was too lax about his stepsister, hiding instead of fighting back, but it made Lilith really stand out, and they were awesome together.
Likes:
•Easily stands alone.
•Can be read any time of year.
•Every single character.
•Lilith’s amazing snark.
•I laughed out loud numerous times.
•So much clever innuendo.
Dislikes:
•Not a damn thing.
The Down & Dirty:
I actually have bought the books in the Object of Affection series as they came out because I loved the covers and blurbs, but never got around to reading them. I am so freaking glad I finally got to one! His Package was sarcastic, snarky, sweet, funny, sexy and an all-around blast to read. It stood alone just fine, but now I want to go back and read them all. I highly recommend this one!

Cute, Sexy, Funny! Must Read📕!
Lilith💃💋 has a jaded, cynical outlook on life and other people. When Liam🐺, a super stud moves into the apartment next door, she can hardly believe he is real. He's too handsome🐺, too ripped💪, too perfect! He must have a secret defect!
They don't meet until the postman leaves their packages in each other's mail box. After that, the innuendos begin in earnest!
This is a wonderful very Adult Romantic comedy. Highly recommend.

Fenici, questo romanzo preso nel suo complesso è piacevole, divertente e ironico, peccato che a tratti risulti noioso.
I personaggi sono ben costruiti e anche la storia è strutturata bene, in particolare il personaggio di Lilith mi ha affascinato molto, con questo suo carattere asociale e scontroso (si adatta bene a questo periodo) mi ha fatto morir dal ridere.
Liam è il classico bravo ragazzo che ha costruito la propria azienda dal nulla con due amici, si occupano di vendere pacchetti finanziari facendo, nel tempo, un mucchio di soldi, però la sua vita è tutta dedicata al lavoro (figuriamo se lo stacanovista non è un uomo).
Il poveretto viene perseguitato dalla sua sorellastra che sta diffondendo bugie sul suo conto, perché vuole avere una relazione sessuale con lui.
Liam è troppo buono e nella sua ingenuità crede che se sparisse dalla circolazione per un po’ la sorellastra si stancherebbe e lo lascerebbe in pace. Pertanto, si nasconde in un appartamento dall’altra parte della città e si trova, come vicina, una ragazza veramente strana, Lilith.
L’attrazione è immediata e reciproca, Liam riesce a penetrare le difese che Lilith ha costruito attorno al suo cuore.
Due personaggi ricorrenti sono il capo della ragazza e la nonna di lei entrambi persone esilaranti, con cui la protagonista ha rapporti frequenti.
Lei al lavoro è sempre una musona, ma come faccia con questi due personaggi a non sbellicarsi dalle risate, resta un mistero.
La sorellastra cattiva è veramente cattiva, anche se all’inizio del libro pensi che Liam stia esagerando, ma, mentre la storia procede si resta basiti dagli escamotage che questa mente malata riesce a partorire.
Il romanzo contiene anche scene Hot, però anche se esplicite, non risultano mai volgari.
È una bella storia d’amore, di amicizia e di follia, che ti permette di passare del bel tempo a leggere.
Buona lettura.

This was by far one of the funniest books that I have ever read! I know there was a sub story to this but I wasn't even in the least bit interested. I just wanted the main characters to talk to eachother so I could laugh.
You have Liam who is being terrorized by his step sister who wants to have sex with him and his neighbor who pretty much hates everyone. The mailperson accidently puts the wrong package in each of their mail box so Liam ends up with a dildo and Lilith who ends up with some thing from his sister. Lilith is by far one of the most quick witted characters that I have ever read about, ever. And that Grammy!
I really appreciated how real this book was, the woman didn't just automatically fall for the man, the friends weren't all perfect and proper. They all seemed like real people.
I also like that instead of this whole big drama when the sister did try to interfere in their lives Lilith actually choose to believe Liam instead of running off into the night and then the mad would have to explain everything. I loved it. I do wish there was more about Florian and Celia. There is no way that she just gave up, I feel like there is more there.

Posso dire che questo volume è uno dei più strambi della serie? Senza ombra di dubbio, è quello più originale; non solo per la trama, ma per i suoi protagonisti, in particolare la nostra Lilith. Ricordate i gemelli Bruce e William, i protagonisti dei primi due volumi della serie? Bene, Lilith è la tetra, misteriosa e sadica segretaria di Will.
Quando ho scoperto che Una dolce sorpresa di Penelope Bloom, quarto volume della serie Attraction edita Newton Compton Editori, narrava la sua storia, sono rimasta a dir poco spiazzata. Mai avrei creduto che l'autrice potesse dare voce a un personaggio come lei e che – udite, udite – mi sarebbe anche piaciuta!
«Io non dovrei toccare la roba d’altri? Mi pare di ricordare che hai cominciato tu».
«È stato un incidente». La sua voce non aveva più quella durezza caratteristica.
«Incidente o no, hai toccato il mio pacco, non posso lasciarti andare via così».
Lilith non ama molto le persone, né tantomeno quelle come il suo nuovo vicino che si è appena trasferito nell'appartamento di fronte al suo e sembra avere un'insegna al neon dritta in testa con la parola "ricchezza".
Mr. Perfezione non degna di uno sguardo i comuni mortali che abitano nello stesso condominio e sembra camminare una spanna più su rispetto agli altri, ma un pacco che avrebbe dovuto trovarsi nella sua cassetta della posta finirà, per sbaglio, in quella di Lilith rivelandole il suo piccolo e sporco segreto. A quanto pare, il caro e vecchio detto non può essere che azzeccato: nessuno è perfetto...
«Ma questo cos’è? Che significa?».
Si strinse nelle spalle. «Non deve significare nulla. Per una volta, smetti di voler dare un senso a tutto. Concentrati sull’esperienza. Vivila. Rimanda le domande a dopo». [...]
«E se non fosse così semplice?».
Si chinò, prese il mio labbro inferiore tra i denti e lo tirò piano piano. «E se lo fosse?».
Ho perso il conto di quante risate io mi sia fatta con questa storia. Fin dal primo volume, ho sempre pensato che la Bloom avesse qualcosa che la rendesse simile a un'altra autrice di cui io ho sempre amato l'ironia con cui caratterizza le sue storie e i suoi personaggi.
Miei cari lettori, Lilith è fantastica! Avrei passato ore e ore a leggere i suoi capitoli perché questa donna è un tesoro pieno di ricchezze. Dura, scontrosa, quasi malefica all'esterno, ma così diversa quando la sua corazza inizia a smantellarsi. Lilith è sicuramente un personaggio particolare che ha fatto della durezza del suo carattere una difesa, un modo per proteggersi dagli attacchi che gli altri vorranno sicuramente infierirle. È questo che, a volte, succede a chi è vittima di bullismo. Non è facile superarlo e ognuno ha un modo diverso di reagire; nel caso di Lilith, si è rintanata in atteggiamenti scostanti per non soffrire, vista la scarsa fiducia nel prossimo.
Come avrete capito, non è facile avvicinarsi a lei, ma Liam – è questo il nome del nostro sensuale protagonista – sembra non essere solo il magnate che ama mostrarsi. Anche lui, come Lilith, ha il suo bagaglio pesante da trascinarsi dietro. Eppure, non sono riuscita ad entrare in sintonia con lui, nonostante la narrazione sia a due voci, forse perché il personaggio femminile, ai miei occhi, l'ha completamente surclassato. Sinceramente non l'ho trovato molto diverso da altri mille personaggi maschili già triti e ritriti. Ciò non toglie che, insieme a Lilith, formino una coppia singolare, curiosa e dolcissima.
Lo stile scorrevole dell'autrice mi ha permesso di divorare la storia in pochissime ore, complice anche la curiosità innescata dai tanti e consecutivi avvenimenti che hanno dato al romanzo un ritmo veloce.
Una storia che consiglio a chi ha voglia di una lettura senza troppi drammi, che impegni poco tempo e che vi faccia prima di tutto sorridere.

2,5 Sterne - Mehr zu meiner Sternevergabe findet ihr in meinem Profil
"A Quick fun read" fasst es wohl am besten zusammen, Seichte, lockere Unterhaltung für einen Abend. Zugegebenermaßen bin ich aber froh, das der Roman eher kurz ist, der Humor war nach einer Weile dann doch etwas arg übertrieben.
Aber so alles in allem habe ich mich gut amüsiert. Es gefiel mir auch, das der Roman sich nicht zu ernst nimmt und nicht mehr sein möchte, als er eben ist. Da die Geschichte so kurz ist, kann man auch eher keinen Tiefgang erwarten. Ich mochte aber die Chemie zwischen Liam und Lilith und es hat einfach Spaß gemacht, bei ihrem Schlagabtausch zu zu schauen.
Sicher werde ich den Roman jetzt nicht ewig in der Erinnerung behalten, aber für einen witzigen Abend in der Badewanne ist das Buch durchaus geeignet. Mit einem Glas Wein zu genießen. *gg*

When possible sociopath, Lilith's package is mixed up with her hot new neighbor's, she's suddenly wondering how one man can look so perfect. Naturally she's wondering if he's a serial killer or something because of course. Lilith's musings are pretty wackadoo, but in a mostly hilarious way. Her new neighbor turns out to be the perfect man for her, though. And when she teams up with him to help take his sleazy stepsister down, they find that her socio tendencies just might come in handy.
His Package was definitely the most entertaining yet of this series. It's crazy LOL hilarious, witty, and steamy and Lilith and Liam are a great couple!

Omg I am so excited that Lilith got her own book. This book had me hooked from the start. I was lol so hard and Liam will make you swoon. Lilith and Liam are perfect match for each other and so happy with their ending. Every book in this whole series is an absolute must read.

I loved reading this story. There was a lot of twists, stalking and even revenge. Mostly some really hot $exy moments, some snickering and even some snorting moments.
Take one jaded girl, a new neighbor in hiding and a step-sister who is trying to ruin your life and what do you get? You get this story.

What is there not to love where Lilith is concerned?! I absolutely love the sarcastic and almost gothic personality. So when a hot guy moves into her building of course shes going to give him her deadly looks. Except in this case, Liam aka Bob gives them right back. When a package gets mixed up they are forced to actually communicate with one another.
This book gives a good in depth look at what makes Lilith. Why she has taken on the roll and what her upbringing was like. And of course we get to read more about the past characters and their relationships , win win right lol
Liam is a billionaire in hiding after his step-sister wants some not so sisterly things from him. When Lilith finds out, well lets just say two can play that game but one does it better.

Lillith es un ser antisocial, pero todo cambia cuando aparece su nuevo vecino. Liam es un hombre que la atrae, pero que esconde secretos y a ella le encanta descubrirlos.
Liam desconfía de todo desde que su hermanastra lo traicionó. Su nueva vecina le atrae y también le hace desconfiar; parece una espía. Una equivocación de unos paquetes de correos dará lugar a una atracción mutua.
Cuarta novela de la serie “Objects of attraction”, que me ha gustado más que la anterior; he sentido que los personajes están mejor desarrollados y sus respectivas historias. En el caso de la protagonista, ha servido ir conociéndola de anteriores novelas; si no, creo que en menos de doscientas páginas no se podría haber hecho.
Lililith es un personaje que ha aparecido en otros libros y la hemos ido conociendo un poco mejor. Es una chica a la que no le gusta interactuar demasiado con la gente. Trabaja para William y la vida que lleva es una especie de desafío a sus padres; ella quiere trabajar en lo que le interesa, no hacer lo que ellos le digan.
Su tipo de vida cambia cuando conoce a su misterioso vecino, un hombre que la hace sentir lo que no sentía por otros, a contarle todo y abrirse a él y al mundo. Ser natural, sin máscaras. Lillith evoluciona su personalidad, se abre un poco más con todos, deja de ser tan esquiva.
Liam es un hombre de negocios y todo iba bien hasta que su hermanastra lo pone contra las cuerdas y él se ve obligado a esconderse, para no verse afectado por sus artimañas. Su secreto poco a poco será descubierto por su curiosa vecina y entre ellos surge una especial relación con una mujer que para nada era su tipo.
La novela, como dije antes, está mejor estructurada y la historia, a pesar de su poca longitud, sabe captar nuestra atención. Los personajes creo que tienen más química; no solo tendremos su romance, sino también un poquito de tensión con la hermanastra. Aunque los secretos no tardan mucho en desvelarse, me he quedado satisfecha. También tenemos de nuevo las apariciones hilarantes de William y algún que otro personaje que aporta a la historia. El final tiene su aquel y el epílogo es curioso; quizá no esperaba tanta inmediatez en la relación de Lillith y Liam.

Nie chce mi się nawet tego komentować. Nudne, nieciekawe, w ogóle nie zabawne i do tego bohaterka, która straciła cały swój charakter, kiedy poznała faceta... Najgorszy tom w serii.
