Neighborly: A Novel

Product Information

The plot for this one is nothing unique but it is quite gripping at times and I did enjoy the guessing game of who the baddie was going to be. It’s a story about the stories we tell ourselves — about who we are and what we need — and about how we bond and fight for each other and find a family and make sacrifices for each other. Peña—examine conjunto music, the corrido, Gulf fishermen's stories, rodeo traditions, dog trading and dog-trading tales, Mexican bakers' lore, Austin's "cosmic cowboy" scene, and other fascinating aspects of folklore in Texas. sListen, I am not a prude but I feel like it is not fair or really cool to not give readers a heads up about the incredible amount of highly sexual content of this book.

Loved the inclusion of boxing and the conversations around Heaven's insecurities as a plus-sized, professional athlete's wife. You won't be able to put the book down once you're sucked in just don't be too disappointed in the end you have been warned. He is also senior pastor of Christ Community Church in Leawood, KS where he has served for almost 30 years.How about a quote from the meat of the suspense: "Just because your paranoid doesn't mean nobody's after you.

Solid, descriptive (but not overly so) writing, and whether you like the characters or not (and I’m still struggling with a few), you’ll become invested.

A fast-paced read from a new voice in domestic suspense which you should add to your to-read pile immediately. Soon someone is leaving disturbing notes, and it turns out the "neighborhood association" has some pretty swinging ideas of what constitutes neighborly love. Sherrelle is out to find independence from her controlling husband by starting a clothing line with her best friend; Indianapolis most sought after stripper. Kat is convinced that someone roofied her drink with Special K her husband seems to hate her guts all of the sudden and Sadie becomes gravely ill with a mystery illness. Kat her husband Doug and baby daughter, Sadie, move to the perfect neighborhood on the perfect block with the most wonderfulest perfectest neighbors ever!

The reviews I had read before picking this book up were tentative but ultimately I have to side with more with the lower end of the review scale. All of the residents seem happy and take such an interest in each other's lives--even a "girls night out" which Kat is invited to and is glad to be included in this elite group, until they mention the Spreadsheet!Focusing on the ways in which traditions arise and are maintained where diverse peoples come together, the editors and other essayists—John Holmes McDowell, Joe Graham, Alicia María González, Beverly J. The story is mostly about the beautiful buildup between Tasha and Heaven, but their partners were a delight as well. I really lime this author's ability to tell a story about people living in a block of houses who seem so perfect yet are anything but. The problem I had with the book is the main character Kat is really unlikeable but since she is a victim you feel bad for not liking her. In that way, the series is more like women’s fiction, exploring all of the complicated emotions around becoming who we are.

I could not put it down and when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it, trying to figure out all the secrets and mysteries. Neighborly Affection is a romance, and a pretty steamy romance at that, but it’s also about personal growth and finding ourselves and reshaping our identity when the person we thought we were doesn’t fit anymore. Literal LOL at the negative reviews based solely on the fact that this story involves swinging, though. Find out if love can be found and dreams realized when neighbors hustle, lust, and carry on affairs that could ruin all those around them. Pedophilia, open marriage, murder, threats, poisoning, and this all on ONE block in the most desirable neighborhood in the city.

Not enough suspense for a book billed as suspense, the fry pan in the face with the sex talk that would make Dr. But also, the actual characters were great, I really liked getting backstory into how each married couple met.
