Holy feck! Love Thy Neighbor is one of those books where I find myself immediately immersed in the lives of the characters and I don't want to leave! They are fun, snarky, the guys are downright sexy, and they are all friends but really, they are more family.I loved Friend-Zoned, book 1 in the series, so when Love Thy Neighbor came out, you can bet I was ready with grabby hands for Nat and Ghost's story! And as in F-Z, the story is not a straightforward one. Ghost (Asher) and Nat both come with pasts that leave them less than trusting and open to relationships. But damn, if they are not hot together! The sexiness is off the charts yummy with an undercurrent of more than the friendship they have agreed upon but are not necessarily ready for. And the hilarity that ensues when those two become friends had me practically crying tears of laughter!Not only is this Ash and Nat's story, but the rest of the group is back with a few new people, particularly Sheriff, Tatiana, Cole, and Nat's family. All their lives are intertwined and there was just enough of the others to add to Ash and Nat's story without overpowering them.Belle Aurora does a fabulous job of developing a story that is so real that I never felt I was on the outside looking in. Through moments of humor where I was laughing out loud to painful moments where I cried, I was part of Nat's and Ash's lives and the rest of the F-Z family. This story is one of love and acceptance of each other and of themselves. And holy wow - the ending was beautiful and left my heart so full!I truly escape when I read the F-Z books knowing that I'm going to have so many `feels' that I never want to leave. Now that I'm done, I'll be impatiently waiting for my next F-Z fix!ARC provided by author for honest review.
