I have no words for this book. (Okay--obviously I do, I'm a reviewer.) I really didn't know what to expect from TRUCE. Of course I was really freaking excited to read it. I love this series. However, anytime an author decides to change things up so drastically in the middle of a series, there's a big chance for things to go so wrong. Guess what? This one didn't! Mathewson really brought this series to a whole new level. In fact, I hope the next book is historical as well. Yep, that's right. Apparently, there will be a 5th Neighbor From Hell book!You have to go into this book not expecting something akin to literary fiction. This is R.L. Mathewson's Neighbor From Hell Series. It's silly, it's weird, but you just gotta love it. Well, I do. There's also the fact that it can be sexy as hell, too. This book certainly was!The one thing I can't stand is the word manhood. Seriously, why? Did they actually use this word in the 1800s? The word "cock" was mentioned in the book, but Mathewson kept switching back in forth from "cock" to the dreaded "m" word. Manhood is not a sexy word, ladies. I know historical romance writers love this word, but I hate it. Urgh. Am I being too nit-picky?Other than the "m" word fiasco, I absolutely loved this book. Mathewson introduced the modern day Bradford's in a fun and truly unique way. Elizabeth and Robert were some of my favorite characters. There's just so much that makes this book amazeballs. Yes, I did just use amazeballs in a sentence. Anyways, get this book. Seriously, do it. Although, I advise you to read the first three books in the series beforehand.To read the full review, visit me @ [...]
