Synopsis
There is only one thing in life that professional pastry Chef Pricilla Westcott values more than baking and wine, and that’s honesty. A quality she soon learns that her marriage lacks when her husband runs off with their next door neighbor.
Divorced and alone, Priscilla is determined to make changes in her life. She decides to approach her new goals like one of her beloved recipes. Surely with a little time, a dash of patience, and measured planning she can whip herself—and her life—back into shape.
However, when a new—and utterly delicious—neighbor takes up residence in the house that ruined her marriage, Priscilla worries that her careful world will fold faster than a deflated soufflé.
Trent Walker knows what he wants and his sweet, sassy neighbor is at the top of the list. He’s certain that the chemistry between them would be explosive, but Priscilla fears that an affair with him, however hot, could be a recipe for disaster.
My Review
4 solid stars.
Life next door is a funny, sexy look at Cece getting over her ex and trying to move on with her life.
What better way to forget the cheating prick than to take up wine guzzling? Throw in a few tempter tantrums, egging houses and the occasional splurge courtesy of her ex's credit card and you get Cece's plan to move on.
Then the sexy as hell new neighbor, Trent, brings out the sexy Cece she'd long forgotten.
I enjoyed the story, laughed, fell a little in love with Trent and gave her ex a little more credit by the end of the book, the only thing I didn't care for was Cece's tantrums occasionally were a bit too childish. It doesn't by any means ruin the story, there's plenty to keep you engaged it's just a pet peeve of mine.
