She is very much alone when Trevor comes into her life, and I loved how accepting of him she was, letting him into her life, but still being strong enough to come back with the snarkiness when he deserved it. He’d have ended things in another fifty or sixty years. Well, fuck her, because he didn’t need her. Trevor swallowed hard as realization hit.Īnd then he starts to realise there may be more to it than he originally thought…

His eyes shot back to Zoe and damn if his cock didn’t twitch happily.

He looked at the beautiful woman frowning up at him and his cock did nothing. However as he gets to know Zoe, his perception starts to change and watching him justify his deepening relationship with Zoe while he remains completely oblivious to what he is actually feeling is so freaking funny. He agrees to their arrangement as he is strangely obsessed with her, and figures that he’ll enjoy himself while he waits for his ideal woman to come along (I know! Asshole, right?). He has an idea of perfection in his head for the kind of woman he wants, and it is pretty much the opposite of the shy, overweight, make-up-less, and “frumpy” Zoe. Unlike his cousin Jason in book 1 (who we get to see lots of – squeee), Trevor is not instantly likeable – he is a selfish, arrogant asshole, with a bit of a mean streak. Phew!! Lotsa hotness! But then, as expected, things get complicated. Neither wants the complication of an actual relationship, they both just want sex, and lots of it… and that’s exactly what they get. This slowly develops into a tentative friendship, and then again into a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement which suits them both perfectly. Realising what an asshole he was, he tries his hardest to make amends, and the two of them settle into an ‘almost friends’ situation where they help each other out. Instant dislike! Who does that? Anyway, Zoe (having had the WORST day ever) confronts him and Trevor fights back, being viciously cruel in the process. Until the night that Trevor, being a Bradford and completely obsessed with food, steals Zoe’s pizza when it is delivered to their house.

I loved this book!!! The second in the ‘ Neighbor from Hell’ series, was just as fun and fluffy as the first book – Playing for Keeps.ĭespite sharing the same building, Trevor and Zoe don’t have much to do with each other.
