This book left me with a big, dreamy smile on my face. Yep, I liked this book so much that it has me using the word "dreamy" in a review.Natalie Kovac and Asher "Ghost" Collins met in the first book of the series, Friend-Zoned and it was lust/hate at first sight, at least for Nat. The two shared a hot hookup on a conference table and have avoided each other ever since. Well, as much as two people can manage to avoid each other and still have game night with their friends every week. When Nat moves to a new apartment and has to ask her neighbor to keep the bedroom noise to a minimum so she can sleep, she finds out in the most awkward way possible that she's now living next door to Ghost. Not surprisingly the two decide to try and be friendly to one another for the sake of their friends and to be neighborly, of course. Friendly quickly turns to bed buddies and the relationship's off and running.I loved these two apart just as much as I loved them together. I wasn't sure I wanted to read a whole book about Nat because she came off as abrasive to me in the first book. Deep down she's a big, fluffy marshmallow who shows everyone around her how much she cares about them every chance she gets. She's also sarcastic and funny, personal favorites of mine as far as heroines go. Asher's hot guy status was never in question but Belle Aurora did a fantastic job with his character. He's suffered a horrific childhood and as a result has closed off most of his emotions. His eventual evolution to a man capable of deeply loving Nat took some time, but it was always believable and always fun to read. These two have some nice sexual chemistry going on and it made for a fairly hot read as far as contemporary romances go.Was this book perfect? No. Did I have a few issues here and there? Well, I wouldn't be me unless I had some issues with the book `cause that's just how I roll. At its heart Love Thy Neighbour is a highly entertaining, funny, sweet and sometimes emotional book. The third book of this series can't get here soon enough for me
