~ Maria’s Thoughts ~
“You’re beautiful when you’re glaring at me or pretending to be perfect, but goddamn Katya, you are breathtaking when you let go and just be yourself,” he told her.
Neighbors is book 1 in a new series by author Stylo Fantome. And what an amazing start it is! I loved it. It’s a triangle with an intriguing, twisted twist. Author Stylo Fantome hooked me from page one. She has a way of writing characters that I find myself drawn to while questioning why I could possibly be drawn to them. Her pacing is on point, flowing smoothly, giving just enough to keep you turning pages without giving anything away.
Neighbors brings us 3 very different characters. Liam, Wulfric, and Katya. Their worlds collide by chance, pasts are brought to the present and the course is set for a steamy, sexy story.
“So strange, how one man could make her feel so comfortable in his presence, and the other could make her feel so nervous.”
Katya is a great heroine. No damsel in distress. Independent, successful, content but content isn’t enough. She decides it’s time for a change, time to take chances. I love this about her because she could be any woman. She’s real and down to earth. someone I’d want to be friends with and hang out.
Liam is just WOW. Hot, sexy, charming, rich, successful and so easy going. He’s perfect. Or is he? His pros definitely outweigh his cons but he has secrets. Author Stylo Fantome gives us enough to get our thoughts churning but keeps it close to the vest till the end. Liam appears to be the white knight. He opens up Katya’s world.
Wulfric. If Liam is wow, Wulfric is OMG. Also gorgeous, sexy, smooth, rich, successful but intense, dark, aloof and dominant. He is mysterious, frustrating, hot and cold. Of course, that means I love him. And he has baggage and secrets, too. Wulfric seems to be the dark knight in this story but appearances can be deceiving. He affects Katya to her core.
“I like seeing you covered in me,” he whispered in her ear. “Like a brand. Showing who you belong to.”
Author Stylo Fantome uses alternating POV but in the third person, to tell their story, which I love because it lets me get inside each character. It allows me to understand them and what they’re thinking. It was hard to decide who to root for in this saga. Both men have their positive attributes. And, Katya, I really liked. I guess I want her to get her happy ending, after everything. I do know how I want this story to end. I’ll keep that to myself. Let you come to your decision uninfluenced. While not a crazy cliffhanger, it is a cliffhanger nonetheless. And I for one, cannot wait for book 2 to see how it all turns out.
Neighbors is not sweet and fuzzy. It is hot, funny, filled with drama, steamy sex and a crazy twists. Fans of Stylo Fantome will not be disappointed. Highly recommend.
Excerpt
It was no joke.
Liam had been waiting in the lobby for her at nine o’clock, sharp. Liam Edenhoff – “but everyone calls me Eden” – he’d introduced himself again to her before guiding her out to a taxi he’d had waiting.
She felt a little nauseous. She’d chugged down another half bottle of wine, and some crème de menthe, before heading downstairs to meet him. She’d almost talked herself out of going, but she’d made the mistake of telling her roommate Tori about the whole fiasco. Apparently, Katya owed it to women everywhere (and Tori in particular) to explore this opportunity to its fullest. She’d all but been shoved out the apartment, the door slammed and locked in her face.
“Nervous?” Liam Eden-whatever-his-name-was asked her as the cab slowed to a crawl.
“Nope,” Katya’s voice sounded overly loud.
“Liar. Tonight is gonna be an interesting night, angel cake.”
“Stop calling me that.”
“What’s your last name?”
“None of your business.”
“Okay then – when the gang bang starts, I’ll tell them to call you Katya X.”
She couldn’t stop the blush from happening that time. Liam burst out laughing, then soothed the sting by grabbing her hand.
Even when they got out of the cab, he didn’t let go of her. Normally, she would’ve been uncomfortable with a stranger assuming such a familiarity with her, but this time, she was thankful for it. She held onto him tightly as they walked down a crowded street. Then they turned into an alley, and his gang bang joke didn’t seem so funny. He led her to a plain door, above which a simple, small, neon sign spelled out “The Garden”. Outside were several small groups of people, chatting and smoking. Some of them called out greetings to him, all of them using his nickname, but a large and scary looking bouncer addressed him very properly.
“Hey, Mr. Edenhoff, wasn’t expecting you in tonight. Any problems?”
“Nope, just bringing a friend to show her the place, let her see what I do for a living.”
All the blood was quickly rushing from Katya’s limbs, pooling somewhere in her stomach. None of this was a joke. He really did own the place, that much was obvious.
As Liam led her through the door, though, Katya actually felt a surge of confidence. She was still nervous, still more than a little scared, but she was okay with it. Liam seemed like a nice guy, he wasn’t going to take her into some dark room and insert foreign objects into her orifices. She could leave whenever she wanted to, whenever it got too uncomfortable. Everything was fine, and for once, she was doing something exciting. She’d een have something interesting to talk about at work the next day.
Finally.
Great book. When is the second book coming out.
