Okay so I have to first say, I was not sure about reading Landon's story. For as much as I love broken heroes and anti-heroes, they always make me nervous. That being said, this story was amazing! It had me completely addicted and stuck to this story then entire read. I could not put it down. This series was the first series I started reading by Stylo and I have gone back and read so much more. I am hooked to Stylo's writing and I absolutely love this series. I can't wait to see what's next!

I love everything this author writes. I was eagerly awaiting this book in the series and I was not disappointed. A darker version of Liam? Sign me up. Landon was delicious and spicy. From the first time we met him I knew there was more to him. Tori has always been a favorite of mine and together they were perfect for each other. I hope Velez gets a story too.
As much as I loved Landon he still hasn't beat Jameson Kane out of the top BBF spot.

“Stupid girl,” he breathed. “Don't you know I'll break you?”
“Yes,” she whispered back. “But maybe breaking me will help you fix yourself.”
I’ve been known to love this author, but my favorite books of hers haven’t been in this series. I enjoy them- a lot- but I tend to love her edgier work. That’s what made this one such a win- it was unexpectedly good, especially considering I knew the MCs from the previous books and didn’t feel anything strongly for either of them. Turns out that’s what made the story so good- I didn’t know what to expect, and what I got was probably the best book in the whole series.
“This is humiliating! Jesus, I almost fucked the wrong brother!”
“Well, really, that depends on how you look at it.”
“What?”
“Afterwards, you'd definitely know you'd fucked the right brother."
Tori has been in love with Liam Edenhoff for this entire series. It should've been pathetic, but it wasn't, mostly because nobody really knew. Still, I didn't really understand her, probably because I'm the type of person that goes after what I want. Anyways, Liam eventually falls in love with someone else (see book three) and Tori does what most women in their twenties would do: she gets extremely wasted and makes a bad decision. That's when she mistakes Liam for his twin brother Landon... at least at first. Liam and Landon, while identical, are night and day. Liam is friendly and boisterous; Landon is snippy and serious. It's not just their personality that makes Landon the "dark" twin, though. He's a drug addict who's constantly making mistakes, which means that this story would've been very easy to mess up. Turns out the author either did her research or has loved an addict, because it was very realistic and appropriately heartbreaking. Addicts are a lot more than people who do drugs; they have a specific personality, and Landon fit that to a T. Up until this book, I had seen Tori as vapid but also a very good friend. Turns out she's more than she lets on: she is very understanding and helpful, as well as a fantastic listener, but she doesn't take shit from anyone, either. She wasn't afraid to grow as a person, but she was strong enough to withstand Hurricane Landon... most of the time.
“I'm an asshole,” he said bluntly. “You knew that when you came on this trip. Did you think having sex would change that?”
“No,” she shook her head. “I don't think anything will change you. I think you're a lost cause, Landon Edenhoff. And it's a shame, because maybe once upon a time, you had a chance to be a good guy. A great guy. Goddamn amazing. But you ruined it, and maybe it's time you grow up and stop blaming other people. You ruined yourself.”
There were too many fantastic quotes to isolate just a few, so I'll probably share them on GR. This was a great story, but it definitely wasn't all rainbows and puppies. The sex was hot and rough, not unlike Landon himself. It would've been easy to see Landon and Tori as just the two remaining characters in the book that didn't have anyone- which is what I thought at first- but the author did a great job of highlighting why they are perfect for each other. This isn't a love story so much as it is a journey, but it's memorable and beautiful in it's own way.
“I'm always gonna be an asshole,” he warned her. “But for you ... for you, I'll try to be a good guy.”

I Loved this book! This has been such a brilliant series, thus far, and I am always wondered how Stylo is going to be able to keep such an excellent flowing series going, but I am always blown away but just how good the next instalment is, and this book definitely has a wow-factor!
I loved the entire premise of the story and found it was really excellent at building up to a point that you thought you might burst from the hidden emotion, angst and sexual tension between the main characters. It was filled out with supporting characters that equally added to or helped disperse the turmoil and excitement, throughout the read, which made it very realistic and fun to read.
The amount of depth put in to not only the characters, but also the background and storyline really meant this was a fulfilling and captivating read. I found myself really struggling to put the book down, just like the rest of this series.
Overall, I adored the story and really liked that it kept me guessing and excited for what would happen between those involved!

Paging Dr. Edenhoff
Paging Dr. Edenhoff
This doctor isn't you typical practitioner. No, Landon Edenhoff is a foul mouthed angry asshole. He is moody, rude, and one of the most gorgeous men in San Francisco. He is also a drug addict, couch surfing, mess of a man. To most that doesn't even sound appealing, but well not everyone has great judgement. Or perhaps it's the low place Tori finds herself in but Dr. Edenhoff seems to be the perfect solution for right now. If right now is a deliciously naughty go of it in his brother's club...But Landon isn't a keeper, he isn't a catch. No, Dr. Edenhoff is a headache without a cure.
I absolutely love the meaning behind the title. I found it to be spot on. I also managed to develop a thing for an obnoxious, asshole doctor. So sue me! The author can make emotional baggage look like designer couture. It's not my fault damaged guys are delectable. Just know that this neighborhood has all the drama! Beware vacancies in this building. Maybe if I want you off, I will have a better shot at an apartment.

Probably my favorite out of the entire series. Okay, it totally is.
Neighborhood Watch is the final book of the Twin Estates series. In it you will meet Landon, who is Liam's twin brother, and Tori, who is Katya's friend and Liam's co-worker. I loved these two so freaking much. It doesn't help that Tori was basically crushing/borderline falling in love with Liam. Then when she thought that she was about to have sex with him.. only to find out it was his twin brother. Well, damn, that was beyond awkward in my eyes. Yet, their angry sex was amazing. I instantly started to ship them.
They had amazing chemistry but what I loved the most about them was their bantering. God, they bickered about everything and I loved it! They seemed like the most normal and realistic couple ever. They reminded me of some of my friends and it just made me enjoy this book even more.
This book also has it's fair share of dram but I mostly stayed for the smut. It was amazing and such a freaking page turner. Other than that, I did like to see the previous two couples a few times in this book but hands down, Tori and Landon were my favorite. If the whole series was about them I probably would've enjoyed it a whole lot more.
This book was a very satisfying ending to the series.

Loved this book! It honestly took me by surprise since I initially did not expect to love it as much as I did, but I'm so glad I gave it a shot and read it. It's a part of a series but this is the only one that I've read so far, and given that this is my first venture on Stylo Fantine's works, I'll definitely check her other books out. IN LOVE! 😍🤩

I couldn’t not wait for Landon and Tori’s story and it did not disappoint at all! Landon was such an anti hero and a jerk at times but then he would do something redeeming and I couldn’t help but root for him to just get his head out of his ass and get it together!! Tori was the person who was there for everyone else but when she needed the same in return everyone was busy. I see why she took of with Landon for an adventure.
This story was one that could not put down once I started! Landon and Tori had off the chart chemistry and they fought hard and loved harder. Landon had a mouth on him and Tori was sassy and held no punches with her slick mouth. We had some very tense moments in this story that had me hanging on the edge. Both characters experience life changing events and became different people afterwards. I was so happy that Landon was able to become the man I knew he was deep down. Tori finally started putting herself first and it was nice. I also liked that her friends apologized for not being there for her when she needed them the most.
This book hands down was my favorite of the whole series. The writing was solid, the plot held my attention and I was sucked in the whole time I was reading. Everything about this book was perfection! Well done Stylo Fantome!

You can never go wrong with a Stylo Fantome book and this one is just as good if not better than the rest. I so loved Tori and Landon's story, fun, fresh and unmistakably powerful in their connection.

~WRITING - PLOT - PACE~So after choosing to skip the previous book in this series (I wasn't a huge Liam fan after the second book), I was a bit on the fence about whether I wanted to read about Landon. The guy was a bit of a douche (and he pretty much remained a douche in this book as well). But I had seen a few early reviews that spoke positively about it and the synopsis intrigued me. Plus, I was in the mood for an angsty a$$hole hero read. I was not disappointed. In fact, this book was my favorite of the entire series. The writing was fantastic. The pace was very good. The plot was engaging. It was angsty. It was heartbreaking. It made me laugh. It made me angry. It made me cry. Last, it was all wrapped up in a really great ending <-- maybe a series ending??
~HERO~
LANDON...OMG was this guy an a$$hole of epic proportions. Like just SO seriously douchy. He was a manwhore (although after getting with Tori he didn't sleep with anyone else). He was a drug addict. He drank too much. His good decision making abilities were subpar (lol). Other than being super f-cking HOT in bed I often wondered what Tori saw in him. But in between all that a$$hole was a sweet and vulnerable man. He grew up. He took responsibility for his actions. He got help. So, in the end, I LOVED him.
~HEROINE~
TORI...I ADORED Tori. I straight up LOVED this girl. She was feisty. She was funny. She was smart. She gave as good as she got. I loved how she called Landon on his shit. When certain truths come to light my heart shattered for her. But I love how she picked up the pieces of her life and moved on. She was a great heroine for sure.
~SECONDARY CHARACTERS~
Honestly, this one was pretty light on secondary characters. We get some appearances of people from the previous books, and I was kind of intrigued by Velez. He was a "friend" of Landon's who I'd love to read more about. Other than those people the story was mainly focused on Landon and Tori.
~HEAT LEVEL~
Medium. There were some SMOKIN' HOT sex scenes in this one. Landon had the dirtiest of mouths and I wanted to read more of it (lol). The frequently felt right for the story and the couple had sizzling on page chemistry.
~ANGST LEVEL~High. This was a pretty angsty read. Like I mentioned the hero was a major douche and did things that hurt the heroine. Neither were virgins. There is a bit of OW drama as Landon hits on some other women and brings one to his room to do drugs (and I assume have sex). He gets interrupted before any clothes come off. <-- this is before they have the "only us together talk" so I wasn't overly bothered by it. The heroine chats up OM, but just in a friendly manner. At the very beginning, the heroine starts
Spoiler
having sex with Landon thinking it's Liam his twin brother. She has a crush on Liam, but the truth comes out before they actually do the deed.~IN THE END~
Surprisingly I LOVED it. It was the perfect read for the angsty book reading mood I was in. Well written. Engaging plot. Interesting, damaged, and well developed characters. What more can you ask for? Therefore yours truly is going to give this one two HUGE thumbs up.
