sitelink goodreads. com/review/list I haven't read a book this funny in a while, It got to a point, where I'd just burst out laughing, Which led to strange looks from my family, . . priceless.
Jason and Haley make an adorable couple and the bantering between these two are hilarious, Not to mention the secondary characters being Jason's friends are an added bonus,
This is a real feel good, pick me up type of book, that'll have you laughing in no time, Loved it! Reread:,.
I skimmed, I'm sorry, I did. I can't deny it. I wasn't really all that into it, and I realized that after the first sentence in the book, I couldn't remember the book from the first time reading it so I thought 'oh, I might like this one again', But yeah, I skimmed, a lot, Don't get me wrong, the book is incredibly cute and the banter and friendship between Haley Blaineand her neighbor of five years and they work at the same private high school, Jason Bradfordare awesome, their connection spot on.
Still, I didn't feel much for the book, I think I'm too in the need of reading M/M that M/F just doesn't work for me anymore, I mean, I usedhours to readpages,

First read review:
It was adorable, The characters where cute and the friendship turned lovers was awesomely written,
Rate:/stars. Caution:You will laugh out loud!
I mean it!
I hate reading funny books but this one was a random pick which turned out to be sooo good!
Enter,Jason
He isand definitely the biggest jackass on earth,or at least he seems to be.
He is every householders' nightmare, We can see what a prick he is from Haley's eyes,
How would you feel if your idiot neighbor destroyed your bed flower
I dont know about you but I would have KILLED HIM!
Well in our story his action brings them closer which is good since their hate turns into friendship and then into something more.
With him she comes out of her shell and she feels comfartable with a 'friend', Surprisingly she changes him too!We can see that he acts more like his age and he is so adorable, However,he is still a baked goodswhore,
I mean it!I've never read about someone who is so obsessed with food and especially with baked goods,
His food addiction is beyond hilarious, Our cookie whore would kill anyone,including his own dad,if he touched his food,
“Hey, those look good! Can I have one” a man shed seen hundreds of times around Jasons house asked, reaching out to take one.
“Back the fuck off! She brought them for me, you bastard!” Jason snapped, ”
The only reason I'm rating this with for is because during aboutI felt like I was watching a tennis match.
You love me,
No I dont.
I hate you.
No you dont.
Blah blah blah blah, .
I started getting tired because they indeed loved each other and the WORST
That part wasnt funny!It reminded me of a usual contemporary book !
Overall,this is a light read which will make you laugh a lot.
Jason is a big baby who you will adore for sure, Haley is awesome so if we overlook that irritatingthe story deserves more thanstars, It is a hilarious book and exactly what I needed after sitelinkForbidden
“How dare you touch my cookies, you bastard!” Jason said in utter disgust before popping the cookie into his mouth and heading back to his house.
“Damn those looked good, too,” Brad grumbled,
Haley sighed. “Dont worry I have a second plate on my counter, ” The words were barely out of her mouth when Jason abruptly changed course and headed towards her house,
“Well, there was,” she said, watching Jason walk into her house like he owned it, A minute later he walked out of her house, carrying both plates and the gallon of milk she had in her fridge, He headed back to his house, but not before he glared at Brad, “You cookie thieving bastard,” they heard him mutter,
Brad rolled his eyes, chuckling, “And people wonder how I lost weight rooming with him in college, ”
Ps This is not a paranormal book,
I giggled, I snickered, and fanned myself'!!!
Playing for Keeps is the first book in R.
L. Mathewsons Neighbor from Hell series and one hell of a funny story,

My review, . .
I picked this up back in the days of Fictionwise and theiroff sales but never got around to reading it because I wasnt in the mood for a paranormal romance about demons living next door.
snort
Man, oh man! I wish I had paid closer attention to what the book was about because Ive been missing out on some seriously good times!!
Like I said, for some reason I thought this was, literally, a story about demon neighbors.
Don't bother asking why, because I haven't a clue, but yeah, I assumed this was a PNR, And although Jason is definitely a neighbor from hell, its not the literal kind of hell, Hes just a pain in the ass, The kind of neighbor who has you thinking of selling your home, or burning his down, Prison time starts looking good if it means ridding the world of him and his annoying, loud, friends,
After realizing that this is not a PNR, I was anticipating a light, fun read and yeah, I got that, but theres something more about Playing for Keeps a connection between myself and the characters I can't explain and wasn't expecting.
At first I thought Id feel nothing more than meh for Jason, but by the end of the book I adored him! He and his family are just hysterical and I laughed out loud more than a few times at their banter.
And the sex scenes Holy hell hot!
The bottom line
This isnt a deep or compelling novel, but its sexy, romantic, funny and thoroughly entertaining.
Even as I sit here writing this review Im grinning from ear to ear as I recall some of Haley and Jasons antics, and those of Jasons goofy friends.
Ive already downloaded book, Perfection and cant wait to dive in!,
