New sizzling hot short story series by Naomi Porter!

Some neighbors borrow sugar. Me? I'd like a taste of Rita.

I'm Nik Tevez. The neighborhood bad boy. The rulebreaker. Promise decimator. My life revolves around three things... my Harley, hot chicks, and booze.

Until I see Rita Rocha. The girl across the street. The one I promised Nana I wouldn't touch. Rita isn't a girl. She's a woman with attitude, curves, and lips meant for more than kissing. She fights it, but I know she wants me just as bad.

There's just one problem. I'm not willing to commit to anyone, but thinking about her with someone else gets my blood pumping. She doesn't trust me with her heart. I'm not sure she should. One of us will have to bend. If I have my way, it'll be Rita over my breakfast table.

Forbidden fruit is so much sweeter than I expected. Nana, please forgive me.

Not good, but I’m committed to the other story lines. Let’s see how long it lasts

I enjoyed the overall story of this book. It's a fairly quick read but I felt like it was a little rushed, I would have liked for it to have been longer so you could see the build up of their relationship more.
Theres an instant attraction between Rita and her new neighbour Nik. He was downright horrible to Rita when they met, but within days has fallen for her and changed his womanising ways as he can't face being with anyone else. Rita doesn't want to be interested but can't resist him.

Nik and Rita are the perfect feel-good story that you need on your bookshelf!

Brought together as their Nana's are besties, these two hare to like each other! Rita has so much sass.. and Nik is a playboy.. until she appears out of nowhere mouthing him off and causing a ruckus. Then she consumes his world... his mind.. and his heart.

Though both Nana's have warned them away from each other.. will they listen.. or will they fall into the unknown and make up their own rules as they go along?

Rita lived with her grandmother. It wasn't until her grandmother's friend went to a retirement home.

Nik, her grandson moved in. Neighbor Nik was trouble, with a capital "T". Heartbreaker, rides a motorcycle, and quite the dirty talker. One things for sure, he promised his grandmother to leave the girl across the street alone.

For both of them, the temptation was too great. Both Rita and Nik were more alike than they thought. Normally, quick paced stories h meets H and bam they're in love. This one had the "push and pull" that I love to read. This was a fun, easy to read, and steamy story. I'd love to read more from this author.

Nik is a womanizing bad boy but sees Rita and wants her. He's never wanted commitment but doesn't want to even think about her with anyone else. Rita knows better than to want anything with him, she sees what he's like. Their chemistry is strong but can they make it work? Loved their story!

This wonderfully well-written Neighbor next door romance has a great story with unique and interesting characters. These well crafted characters have chemistry that he has been fighting since he promised he Grandmother to stay away. He cannot do what he promised, but is it a start to a wonderful relationship. This is a quick, hot story with a HEA

Oh Nik is so NAUGHTY! But you will fall in lust with him and you might find that he will steal your heart! He is over the top but when he sees Rita he knows he wants ALL of her. Rita is skeptical but how can she resist such a good naughty bad fella who is just too sexy for his own good. Yes she knows he is trouble with a Capitol T but he wants her even though he gave his word not to mess with her. Rita is fiery and beautiful with curves in all the right spots and she is made for cuddling. This is a quickie but it tells a whole story that will have clamoring for more. This is a new author for me but I will be looking for more from her. She really did a great job with this story! If you want a quickie that will make your heart stutter than this is the read for you!

Torrid and tender
It’s a short romance between 2 people who hate each other and especially because they are attracted to each other. Their story is tender, but torrid, with some sad notes linked to their pasts.
Nik is boorish, and he works as a bouncer in a club where women pounce on him and he let them do it, until he is greatly disturbed by his meeting with his neighbor Rita, who although attracted, doesn't want to be approached by him, because of his harshness, while he avoids her to protect her.
I really liked these two characters.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a short, steamy story where a bad boy gets the forbidden girl. Nik and Rita have an attraction that can only be denied for so long. She is everything he does not deserve but needs in his world. Nik is the man that she should not and could not love, but finds that she does. When these two come together the sparks fly. I enjoyed thier story

This is the story of Nik and Rita. Nik promised his grandmother he would stay away. Rita is all grown up everything NIk wants. Nik is the bad boy Harley rider booze drinking and manwhore. Can Rita trust her heart to him? Can she not? Can Nik be the man she needs and or wants? This is a short story but well written and the story flows well the characters are great. I really enjoyed this book.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Naomi Porter; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the characters.

This was a very cute story! Nik and Rita’s first meeting just made me laugh. And then so many of their encounters after that tended to men me giggle as Rita is just too sassy! The chemistry between Nik and Rita is steamy hot, and this story had some emotional twists. All in all, this book was very entertaining to read!

Nik & Rita, what a fun couple.

Love the banter between this characters, this was such an enjoyable quick read.

There were some tear-jerker scenes but for most of the story the author had me giggling and lol 😂

Neighbor Nik was a good story, the plot was written well. Nik and Rita had an instant attraction they drew them to one another, their chemistry was off the charts, it was steamy, they were good together. They may have had a few ups and downs but they were made for each other, I enjoyed their journey.

I really like Rita in this short, sassy book. She is strong, has some heavy baggage and manages to want normal. Nik took some.work to like. He has baggage but his actions seem a bit over the top and not a match for the reasoning. The writing is good. The banter is fun.

I really enjoyed the MC series by Naomi Porter so I thought I would check out some of her other books. I was sadly disappointed in this book. For a quick read, it was ok. I just feel like both Rita and Nik were not relatable characters, both seemed too childish using other people and making up girlfriends. Their emotional and trust issues could have really made this book more interesting and let the characters stand out, but instead they resolve them all within a day during a single conversation. Just felt very glossed over.

Short, sexy and sweet!

First this is a short read so don't get your panties in a bunch about the length, you've been made aware. Second this is pretty much an insta- lust/ love situation, so again keep the negative reviews about that out.
Third the grannies make this book oh so sweet!!
Fourth this book has some HEAT!
And fifth this is a short, sexy, sweet read that's free with K.U.!

From the moment I read the first encounter with Rita and Nik, I was hooked on their push and pull. These two were hot as fire for each other. There were laugh out loud moments, steamy times and a whole lot of fun. It was a short, but sexy read and just what I needed.

I really enjoyed this first read by Naomi Porter and I'm looking forward to many more!

*I received an advanced copy of the book. This is my honest opinion given freely.

Neighbor Nik is book one in the Bad Boys We Love series by Naomi Porter. I enjoyed reading this fast-paced, sexy, enemies to lovers novella. It was sexy, funny, and a bit emotional and gave me an escape.
It was my first time reading a book by Naomi Porter, but it made me eager to explore her other books.

This was a short one but took me way too long, i´m not in a good reading mood atm. The story isn´t very unique, girl meets boy because their grannys are best friends. They fall for each other but both have issues with relationships... thats it.

This was my first book by this author and thought the story was good. The book is novella length and I found myself wanting more character and relationship development. Overall, a decent read and I will look for other books by this author.
