Review:

How to Love Your Neighbor is a sweet, heartfelt romantic comedy with characters that feel real - people you'd like to know.  Grace is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks who's moving into a house left to her by her grandparents.  The house is a fixer upper, but it's view of the beach is highly desirable, and Grace is determined to plant her roots in the house where her grandparents lived.  The problem is the rich, arrogant hunk next door, Noah, who seems to think he can throw money at her and she'll fold and sell him her new place so he can add on a pool.  Noah is a gorgeous real estate developer - a business tycoon who moved there to escape his father's business influence and make his own way in the business world.  A famous magazine wants to photograph and record his house makeover with one little catch . . . they want the irritating woman next door who happens to be graduating from design school to be his designer on the project.  If he refuses, the story is dead.  All Noah has to do is convince Grace that doing it will benefit them both.

Sullivan has penned a hilarious rom com with insane chemistry blazing between her hero and heroine who try so hard to hate one another.  Neither understands the other, but they agree to work together for their mutual benefit.  The lessons learned just may change both their lives.  What I loved about this story was the amazing character development as both dared to step out of their comfort zone and take chances when challenged by the other.  The author does an amazing job keeping it real with several twists and turns in the evolution of these characters and their relationship.  I felt the story dragged just a bit in the middle and could have been shortened a little.  In spite of that, I enjoyed How To Love Your Neighbor and highly recommend it to fans of romance especially those who love their romance with a lot of snark, sizzle and pop.  Lots of laughter and love in this one!
