I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads 
 5 gimme the next book immediately stars 
 Okay, so the mark of an intrigued reader is when they want the next book as they are reading the last few pages- immediately upon finishing it. Since I don't currently have it locked and loaded on my Kindle, I've gone through the junkie/book-hangover stages of greed and need. So, word to the wise- make sure you have the next book handy when you start this one. (It's coming in January) 
 My second comment will be another odd one. This is a two-parter. One, I'm a writer, and I have a hard time reading and staying engaged with the characters because my mind starts unweaving plots. With Neighbors, I knew what was happening from the get-go, but the author had me so wrapped up in it, I'd forget. Awesome! Thank you for that, because it only happens like once out of hundreds of books. So, even with knowing, the emotions still gutted me. Part two: the first character I ever wrote was named Katya. I've tore her down and built her up countless times over 12 books so far- decimated her. It's not a common name, so I was curious as to why we authors want to harm impressionable, sweet Katya. I jest. Even with me having a difficult time seeing that name, with my muse trying to show me 'my' Kat, the book latched onto me and didn't let me go. 
 Katya is a good girl- a sweet, young baker. An in-demand cake decorator. She's in a rut, a workaholic, and her BFF/roomie is trying to get her to live a little by signing her up for a dating website. 
 Our good girl sheds her image, finding strength and a set of steel balls. Katya has to come to terms with her sexuality, how it's not wrong to own what you want, take what you need, and not feel guilty about it in the quiet moments when the escape of sleep is being stubborn. 
 Without giving the plot away, Katya finds a man due to the BFF-altered dating profile, and she lets her freak flag fly. But then a man from her past suddenly pops up in her life, and Katya begins seeing both of them. One she feels emotionally connected to, a meeting of the minds only a best friend can provide, and the other is on a visceral level. 
 The Lamb- Liam is quintessentially a friend-zoned frat boy. The guy you play video games with, occasionally do the benefits thing with, eat tacos while discussing the one you truly want. You love the guy, but you'll never 'fall in love' with the guy. 
 The Wolf- Wulf is closed-off emotionally. Harsh. Everything is on his terms. But like a moth to flame, a fly to honey, a Katya to an emotionally stunted sociopathic (never mind, that was my character, or was it? All Katyas fall for this type of dark guy)... he's the guy whose pleasure hurts, but the pain sinks into your soul and changes who you are. 
 Neighbors is filled with tension, and strife, and woe-is-me Mary Jane (I am every woman) who is trying to find empowerment and sexual fulfillment while trying her hardest not to allow her heart to get shattered. 
 BUT, and it's a very big but, an 'every woman' has to earn it, and the author makes her pay in spades. 
 Now, I need the next book ASAP. Seriously, I'll be surprised if this review is coherent, with the jonesing I'm experiencing.
