I just found out I'm inheriting billions of dollars.
My ex, who is also my sister's best friend, wants me back now.

Beautiful, curvy Ashlyn agrees to pretend to be my fiancée.
She and her darling little girl need my protection.
All together we make the perfect fake family.
But will my sister and gold-digging ex buy the charade?
And can I keep my hands off Ashlyn?
I want her but she thinks I'm a cocky jerk.
I know the fake happiness we share could become real.
Can I convince Ashlyn to open up her heart and body to me?

Until my sexy neighbor comes to my rescue.
He's a hot lawyer and former soldier capable of keeping us safe.
He wants a fake relationship in return, and that's fine with me.
I won't get close to him for real, because I know he's a womanizer.
Plus, I've been burned before and I like to stay away from the flame.
Sure, he heats up my thoughts.
But that doesn't mean I have to let him into my pants.
He thinks our fake family could become real.
But I need to protect my heart while he protects my life.

This series has been a hit and miss for me. This was a decent read but it too felt like so much more could have come from the story and the characters.
Ashlyn is a down and out single mum trying to keep a low profile from her abusive ex, her money dwindled to nothing and about to be evicted she’s in despair, thinking that she had till the end of the month she’s distraught when she comes home after yet another failed job interview to find her belongings being tossed in the street. She never thought the playboy from across the hallway would be her guardian angel and offer her somewhere to stay. But nothing in life is for free so she agrees to help her neighbour Chase convince his conniving ex he’s off the market. But can Ashlyn keep her feelings at bay especially when her daughter seems to adore him, can she keep her heart in tact or has she already lost it and is Chase really over his ex?
Chase is a highly paid real estate lawyer working for Howell and Howell when he finds out his grandfather has left everything to him and his sister Whitney, he’s an overnight billionaire. When his sister decides to visit him and bring her best friend and his cheating ex Etta with her. When a friend suggests a fake fiancé he decides it has merit and seeing his attractive neighbour evicted knows all his ducks are in a row he can offer her and her daughter a safe place to stay and convince his ex he’s well and truly off the market. Within a day the two women have gotten under his skin and is thinking this could be so much more than pretend. Is he ready to take the plunge and give away his heart to Ashlyn and Katie and will his sister forgive him for lying to her?
Don’t get me wrong it’s a good read but with potential for an amazing read. Safe read I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book 3.5🌟

Chase and Ashlyn will heat up you Kindle in this fake fiance steamy romance. It's a standalone with no cheating and an HEA. They both need each other. She needs protection from a violent ex and he needs protection from his gold digger ex who just happens to be his sister's best friend. Oh and have I told you that he's inheriting billions? Their chemistry is off the charts and they are so good together. It's sweet to watch Chase with Ashlyn's young daughter Katie. A cute story with no cliffhanger and an HEA. My only complaint is that the formatting of the book has some major problems. There are wide gaps and spaces. This needs to be corrected and I'm surprised that the book was released with these problems in place. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review.

2 1/2-stars. Title Misleading.
Bad Neighbor(Story briefly describes his commanding appearance and his savvy lawyer skills who knows the heroine as her apartment is across the hall), NOT THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS that the title suggests. Fake relationship yes.
Quite a superficial story, it was a short read but I have read other authors who seem to know how to pull off a short novel with full novel impact. The opening scene of a struggling young single mom was very well written and rang true sadly. The sex omg, another fiction novel penis which is 10 or more inches and the hero stating 'you don't have to' as the heroine prepares to unhinge her jaw because of his girth (haha). Oh yeah, I could see a man saying that.
All said and done, I actually liked the story. I was able to listen without having to concentrate while the words flowed freely entertaining me.
Cheers

DNF
For starters, this needs a better editor as there were numerous typos and errors.
Chase is an attorney who just inherited money from his grandfather but is concerned his gold digging ex/sister's best friend is going to try to reconcile. Rather than say he's not interested, he takes a suggestion from a friend to be in a fake relationship.
Chase happens upon his neighbor, Ashlyn, as she's getting evicted and decides they can help each other out. He offers to let Ashlyn and her toddler live with them. Even though Ashlyn is hiding from an abusive ex, she has no problem moving in with a man she doesn't know and then agrees to be his fake fiancée.
Chase's sister and ex arrive and are stunned to discover he's engaged. His ex then says its gross that he's with someone who's had a kid because her vagina is probably all stretched out. I stopped reading at that point.
The ex seems awful. Why can't Chase just tell her no? Why does an attorney who wears Armani and drives a Jaguar live in the same building as a diner waitress who can't afford rent? The story doesn't make sense.

An honorable man...
Sometimes when you least expect it, yet most need it, you meet an honorable man. Such is the case for Ashlyn, whose bad day turned in to a bad week, and is on the verge of becoming a bad month when Chase steps up and instead of offering charity proposes they help one another.
This story does a great job of showing, of showing a mother willing to work, hard, to care and provide for her child, of showing a man who has been damaged by war, and life, and is just surviving, until he meets someone who may not trust men, but holds in her arms a child who challenges all around her to be their best selves simply by being young and seemingly defenseless.

The Right Place At The Right Time:
By Korkoi -
This book was so captivating that I couldn’t put it down. Fate brought Chase and Ashlyn together, at a time when they needed each other. However, it appears their destiny was always that they were meant to be together. This is a story that I enjoyed immensely and will recommend everyone reads it.
I received a copy of this ARC and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Now that is a story I really enjoyed. Seemed short but it sure packs a punch.
Ashlyn needs help Bad. She is being evicted and has a toddler to bring up. Thankfully neighbour Chase is at hand and offers to let her stay with him. Now the fun begins. Add to the mix a crazy ex, a caring little sister, a cute toddler Katie and one sexy mama called Ashlyn. Chase is so meant for Ashlyn in so many ways. All in all a good story .

Not At All What I Expected
The story was so unrealistic I don’t know how to start the review.
If Ashlyn had no money and worked at a diner how could she afford to leave next door to Chase? Who is a rich lawyer? They fall in love within like 2 chapters. Chase’s ex girlfriend tried to get money from both Chase and his sister. That was it. Ashley’s abusive ex husband never showed seeking revenge. It had no real storyline. IMO

Enjoyed
Chase lived across the hall from Ashlyn and her daughter Katie. He came home one night as Ashlyn was being evicted from her apartment and he offered her to stay at his apartment. Then he asked her to be his fake fiance to help get an ex off his back. Katie really took to Chase right away and he took to her. After a few run-ins with his ex things seem to turn around and they find a happy ending.

Good story line. But!
This rating is based on two things.1- book too short. 2-this book was not proof read at all. I would not recommend this book to anyone. And save yourself money.

Plot was good...
I enjoyed the book but it was more of a fast summary that flew over alot of material that could've made this an even better story.

The reason that I gave this book a two-star reading was due to a lot of errors spacing errors in particular. A good story.

Interesting storyline. Jamie did a great job in setting the scene and I liked the ex bad girl and what disruption she brought.

I do not know but something was missing. Hmmm Love? i think... i just could not feel it in the pages and i need to feel that flow! The plot was okayish, just the love left me feeling deflated.

Fun Read!
This was such a sweet story. Just enough drama and a sweet happy ever after to boot. You get all the excitement in just a few pages.

Just nope. It started out good. The story line sounded great and I didn't make it out of character one.
