*** 5 AMAZING STARS *** 
 LOVED IT !!! And once again a shout out to Aestas & her amazing review & rec. A heartwarming, uber romantic story that, although interconnected to the first book through the female MC, reads easily as a standalone. 
 Chelsea Jameson [25] lost the love of her life in 'Stepbrother Dearest' and has physically moved on to a new apartment and hopefully a fresh start from heartbreak. When the incessant barking of her sexy, tatted neighbour Damien Hennesey's dogs [aka The Double D's] and his obvious eavesdropping on her phone therapy sessions get to be too much - she confronts him only to learn he's also her landlord and a truce is forged with the beginnings of a friendship. There's also an insane attraction and intense chemistry going on between the two but he's reluctant to act on it and instead avoids getting too close sticking to the friend zone boundaries. He even sets up her profile on an online dating site to help her get over her ex and move on. But as they spend time together he slowly opens up about his commitment fears and the reasons behind them and the friends take on some benefits. 
 A beautifully written story that tells of love, loss, hope & despair all brought forth through the amazing MC's - Chelsea and Damien - with their engaging banter exchanges and their heartwarming and smile-inducing romance. But keep the kleenex handy. 
 Loved the sweet 'forgive-all' Epilogue.
