Publisher's Summary

There was nothing more painful than falling in love with your best friend.

From New York Times best-selling author R.L. Mathewson comes the prequel to the disturbingly funny romantic-comedy series Neighbor from Hell.

She couldn’t do this anymore.

After watching her best friend and the man whom she’d been in love with her entire life propose to another woman, Morgan decided that it was time to finally move on. She made plans, plans that Eric didn’t know about, and she planned to keep it that way, but unfortunately for her, one bet destroyed everything, leaving her with no choice but to be there for her best friend one last time.

He was done.

After catching his fiancée cheating on him, Eric Bradford was done wasting his time on women with whom he had absolutely no hope of falling in love. He just needed time, a chance to get away, and he just needed...her.

Determined to figure out how he kept screwing up his life, Eric asks Morgan for one more favor, one that would change everything and leave him with no choice but to do whatever it takes to stop the one woman who meant everything to him from finally walking away.

A Sweet and Speedy Romance

4 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
2 Spices 🌶️🌶️

"Pretend" by R.L. Mathewson delivers a delightful and fast-paced romantic journey that keeps you hooked from the start. The storyline revolves around Morgan, who decides it's time to move on after her best friend, Eric, proposes to another woman. The book promises a sweet romance with a touch of humor, fitting well into the Neighbor from Hell series.

The pacing of the story is one of its strongest suits, as the narrative swiftly unfolds, keeping readers engaged without unnecessary delays. Mathewson weaves a tale of love and friendship, making it relatable and heartwarming. The characters are well-developed, and their dynamics add an extra layer of depth to the narrative.

The spicy elements in the book add just the right amount of heat to the romance. The chemistry between Morgan and Eric is palpable, and the author tastefully incorporates moments that spice up the plot. It's a perfect blend that enhances the overall reading experience.

However, the book falls short of a full five stars due to some predictability in the plot. While the story is enjoyable, a few elements follow a familiar romantic comedy formula. Nevertheless, the engaging writing style and well-crafted characters compensate for this minor drawback.

In conclusion, "Pretend" is a solid addition to the Neighbor from Hell series, offering readers a sweet and spicy romantic escape. If you're a fan of fast-paced, heartwarming stories with a dash of humor, this book is worth the read.
