The Neighbor Playbook by Kristine W. Joy: Book Review

The Book

An NBA star just moved in across the hall.

He hates LA, hates noise, and hates me—probably.

I’m Nicole Farrarah, an entrepreneur whose life is currently held together by optimism and caffeine.

The first time I meet Dominic Neelson, he’s standing in the hallway with a key in his hand, my dog at his feet, and a look that suggests this was not how he imagined his first day in Los Angeles going.

But somewhere between chance encounters, messy afternoons, more dog related disasters, and a few borrowed eggs, things begin to shift.

Glances last a beat too long.

Smiles come easier.

And being near him starts to feel like my favorite part of the day.

But I want to build something in LA, and his career has never stayed in one place.

And I can feel the moment coming when one of us will have to decide.

The Neighbor Playbook is a grumpy sunshine sports romcom full of lots of swoon and no spice. It's the fifth standalone novel in The Love Playbook Series.

Book Review

Talk about a messy way to start a romance! Let's just say these two didn't get off on the right foot with this meet cute that I certainly won't be forgetting anytime soon! Despite their rocky start though, it didn't take long for Dominic and Nicole to warm up to each other. Their story was one that was filled with awkward and embarrassing moments that had me laughing out loud, but it was also really sweet too. I loved how easily he believed in and encouraged her despite her past failures. They've got a lot to figure out and work through, but I enjoyed every moment seeing them figure it out. Basketball is surprisingly a sport we don't see a whole lot of romances about, so I enjoyed seeing that in the mix as well! This is truly such a fun series, and this one was a great addition to it! If you love dog shenanigans and basketball romance, this is one not be missed.

The Neighbor Playbook is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of The Love Playbook series. This is a multi-author series with each book featuring a different athlete and a cute rescue pet. They can all be enjoyed as standalones or in any order.
