Tempted by Her Neighbor, is a quick read. There is a lot of story there though. Kyran grew up trailer trash and made something for himself. Not that the locals will let him forget where he came from. Lucie comes from a privileged background. The fact that opposites attract is proof right there. I love how tongue tied and shy Kyran is around Lucie in the beginning. Did not expect that out of him. When he comes out of that stage he is awesome. Lucie is a very lucky girl.

A cute and sexy little romance

Being a big fan of Katie Reus, I was delighted to see this little novella coming out (or rather coming out again since it's apparently a rewritten and republished novella !)

All the ingredients are there : a sexy but also surprisingly shy neighbor (and I didn't think I'd like that this much !), a cute and funny neighbor and a rival mechanic who is losing his mind =)

Only one regret : TOO SHORT ><

In short, a perfect little sexy romance to read ! I loved having more books in this small town ><

I loved it! It was short and sweet and such a light, fun read. It was such a joyful read that brought a smile to me. I hope that Katie does write stories for the other characters in this book. She hints that she might.

Kyran was a hellion in his youth. Then after high school he spent eight years in the military. Now he is back in his hometown owning and running his own garage. His neighbor is Lucie who he thinks is out of his league. Lucie came from a wealthy family and has a yoga studio. She has been watching her new neighbor but he is a quiet man. When she takes her car in for a tune up, the sheriff comes in and accuses Kyran of breaking into his nephew’s garage. Lucie alibis him and as a thank you he takes her flowers and wine. Will Kyran get over thinking he isn’t good enough for her?
A shy, quiet guy. A beautiful woman. Sex. Short but oh so hot.

Kyran has moved back into town after eight years in the Marines, he has a home and a business. He also still has the same sheriff who looks at him as the bad guy because of his father and for a few run-ins when he was a teen. His neighbor Lucie Miler is from the opposite side of the town and came from a home and not a trailer. The two of them go back and forth thinking that maybe there is something because each is attracted to the other because of physical appearance. It is not until she brings her car into his shop to be looked at and then provides him an alibi to the sheriff that the connection between them starts, especially when he brings her flowers and treats her differently than other men she has been with. This was a quick read but, a very good book with interesting characters, the author pulls you in from the first few pages and you don’t want to put the book down—an excellent book.

He thinks his neighbor is out of his league…
Kyran got into a fair amount of trouble as a teenager, but after eight years in the military, he’s left his troublemaking past behind him, built a successful business and put down roots. Unfortunately, the sheriff of his hometown has a long memory. To him, Kyran will always be a loser, no matter how much he’s cleaned up his act. And now she’s his alibi…. Great read! A but short but it still had light suspense, intriguing, mystery, and very hot hot hot!! The storyline was interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley, the author and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Novellas are great ways to learn about a new author. And if you’re in a time crunch but need a romance fix, a novella’s got you covered! I have been reading Katie Reus for years so I know she’s already a brilliant writer. I’m always excited to pick up one of her stories.

Tempted By Her Neighbor is a condensed spicy romance with lots of hot-and-heavy action. It’s a fast read with interesting characters and a solid storyline. I wish it were a full-length novel because there were so many situations mentioned that I would have loved to read about. I hope there will be more stories from this fascinating book world.

I liked that this novella gets right to the action. I needed a story that did just that. It was a good book to read in between heavier topics. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Short, sweet and to the damn point!! Yes!!! I'll be revisiting this novella when I'm in need of a quick little pick me up.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

This was a short novella and a hot and steamy quick read. Kyran and Lucie moved pretty quickly in their relationship once they knew they both felt the attraction.

It went a bit too fast for me but I did enjoy the characters and the storyline.
