The immediate judgement of the MMC by the FMC was a sour way to start the book.

At first I was starting to hate it. I hated the FMC at first, I just didn't like her personality at all. I decided to stick it out purely because I liked Paynter and I'm glad I did. I actually enjoyed the book and the character development that Chloe underwent, it made her more likeable now that I understood why she was the way she was. Yay!

Whilst this is a fun and frivolous book, it is also a really enjoyable and well written book. The hero and heroine are immensely likeable – Chloe is such a conflicted soul and clearly needs a confident man like Paynter to help her find her true self. Paynter is so caring and every time he seems about to give up on Chloe he sees something in her worth his effort.
On paper Chloe’s constant fluctuating of what she wants sounds like she would be an irritating character. But by seeing how she truly feels/worries when scenes are written from her POV, you can’t help but like her. The book is also written from Paynter’s POV which I felt helped the story flow and also gave me a better insight into their relationship.
The goat scenes near the end were just so heart-warming and gave me the fuzzy feel goods. The basic plot idea isn’t unique but the characters, depth of emotion, detailed story line and quality of writing work together to make this feel very different to many humdrum contemporary romances.

„Sexy Bad Neighbor” is a romance written by Misty Murphy and Tami Lund.
Chloe is a career-driven woman, who was burned in the past. Her life revolves around a plan - to become a partner in a company she works in. She didn’t plan to engage herself in a prank war with her sexy neighbor Paynter.
Paynter’s moving into a house he bought with his ex-girlfriend - Queen B. He hates women with plan, but there’s something he sees in Chloe. He’s quite sure, that there’s more to her than just her plan.
I enjoyed this story! It was engaging and hilarious. I laughed A LOT!
Characters were likable. I like my heroines strong and accomplished, although Chloe was a little bit judgmental, but I warmed up to her. Paynter is a great guy, too (and what a name! my autocorrect is trying to change it to a Painter every time, lol), but my favorite character is Spot!
Seriously though, this book was so much fun with a great romance and hot, sexy times!
Recommended!

hat mich nicht wirklich umgehauen. Zwar haben viele Bücher keine "neue", innovative Geschichte, aber hier konnte ich mich auch mit den Charakteren nicht sonderlich anfreunden.
