Spend the next 40 years in prison or break her lease early?
Normally she’d be able to say that this one was a no-brainer, but things have definitely changed since she was forced to move in across the hall from Danny Bradford.
A lot of things……
She wanted to get through one day, just ONE day without Danny Bradford doing something to test the limits to her control, but with that damn smile of his and his habit of leaving her contemplating manslaughter, she didn’t see that happening anytime soon.
He loved his family, but some days…….
It was too much, but that was okay, because his small neighbor living across the hallway provided him with endless hours of entertainment. Not on purpose of course, but did it really matter as long she made him smile?
My Thoughts:
Do you have a book or series that is like a warm comfy blanket and is your go to when you want something fun and light-hearted? For me, The Neighbor from Hell series is my go to series, and The Game Plan did not disappoint.
The Game Plan is set around another Bradford boy, Danny, who is cousins with Jason and Trevor from previous Neighbor from Hell stories. These books are stand-alone books but R.L. Mathewson does a great job weaving in previous characters into the current story. I appreciate that she does this, as I love to see the story continue for characters from previous stories.
Just like previous Neighbor from Hell books, the story circles around a Bradford boy making a poor innocent girl life hell, and Jodi (aka Tinkerbelle) is the latest neighbor and victim.
Staying with the tradition of other The Neighbor from Hell books, the story makes several references to the famous voracious Bradford appetite. However, with The Game Plan, R.L. Mathewson has stepped it up and made several references to Zoe’s horrible cooking as well as Jodie’s unusual reaction to medication. These scenes had me laughing out loud, which got me questioning looks from people around me.“I need to be released from my lease, because your cousin is an a**hole and he’s making my life a living hell”“She’s just the woman that rents the apartment across from me and that I torment for my own entertainment when I’m bored or I’m just in the mood to piss her off”
While The Game Plan is light hearted, funny story – it does tackle underlying issues both Danny and Jodie have when it comes to relationships. We see this unfold throughout the story as they go from enemies to lovers, and it makes the story feel real and relatable.“Her cooking usually isn’t dangerous unless it has been exposed to air for more than two hours. Then,” Aidan shrugged, gesturing towards Danny should with a tilt of his chin, this happens.”“What exactly is ‘this’?” he asked, look down at the hive-like thing covering his shoulder.“It’s a cross between a bacterial infection and an allergic reaction,” Aidan absently explained as he carefully measured out the medicine. “We’ve tried to hit this from both sides, but we’ve found that it takes a combination of antihistamines, penicillin, and vaccination or two to kill it.”
If you are looking for a sexy, funny read that leaves you smiling and wanting more – this book is for you.“You are the best part of my day, Tink. You make me feel whole and happy and when I’m not with you, I’m thinking about you. I’m not in love with you, but I know that I can’t live without you.”“You want me?" she asked with a watery smile."More than my next breathe”
