This was NOT for me. I disliked both characters & only started to slightly enjoy it at 70%. Unsure if I’ll continue, I got things I wanna read way more honestly.

Cute, light and fluffy read.
I enjoyed reading about how hero and heroine tried to outwit each other and about all the pranks. :)

This is a tough one to rate/review.. It was a good story.. but so much repetition.. We know she loves her cocoa, we know her brothers hate Connor, we know the job needs to get done.. etc....

I loved the first two books, but this one was just not for me.

Rory and Connor lives to hurt and humiliate each other. They've done this since they first met as kids and still keeps going.

Spoiler
How did this behavior turn into love? How could either of them get past the humiliation? And the big question is if a guy loves a girl so much that he wants to marry her how on earth can he treat that girl as badly as Connor treats Rory? Ok I get it that he thinks he will never have a chance, but to hurt the one you love? And the in the end all the hurt doesn't matter because she loves him too.


Well, this just wasn't my cup of tea. Only the appearance of the other Bradfords saved this book from a one-star- rating.

I just love this author. The neighborhood series is just fun light hearted reads and I really enjoy them.

I absolutely LOVED the first 2 books in this series,however this one just didn't live up to the expectation that I was hoping for. I found myself very bored and sometimes irritated with the hot cocoa obsession and all the stories of Rory and Connor being banned from every place in town and all the times they were arrested and jailed for things. I did enjoy reading about the past pranks even though some were really exaggerated
