From New York Times bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the third installment in the Neighbor from Hell series...

For readers who enjoy touching stories that make them smile, laugh, and fall in love.

There's nothing worse than living next-door to your childhood nemesis, except maybe being forced to share your dream project with him, being blackmailed into going along with something that was just wrong on so many levels, and having your hot cocoa stolen by the person that drove you to drink it in the first place, Rory James decided.

Then again, so was finding out that you were wrong.

Connor O'Neil will do anything to get what he wants and right now, he wants to get his hands on the one thing that would make all his dreams come true and he wasn't about to let little Rory James get in the way of that even if she was the one thing that he really wanted.

Fin da piccola Rory James ha dovuto vedersela con Connor O’Neil. I due si sono fatti sempre ogni tipo di dispetto tanto da essere diventati famosi in tutta la città per la guerra senza tregua che si sono dichiarati. Ma adesso tutto si è notevolmente complicato perché entrambi si trovano a dover condividere un grosso lavoro che potrebbe rappresentare una svolta importante nelle loro vite. Ma cosa si nasconde dietro questo loro continuo scontarsi e, soprattutto, riusciranno ad arrivare vivi in fondo a questo nuovo progetto che dovranno realizzare obbligatoriamente insieme?
Un’altra divertente storia della Mathewson, terzo capitolo della Neighbors Series, due altri personaggi, anche loro eccessivi come i precedenti, che ci accompagnano con le loro avventure spassose per farci passare un paio d’ore in pieno relax.
Anche per questo libro la mia valutazione sarà scissa in tre considerato il livello della traduzione effettuata.

***** 5 stelle alla scrittrice R.L. Mathewson
Anche questa volta il racconto risulta spassoso e molto divertente con vicende che, per quanto assurde ed estreme, riescono a divertire. Simpatici entrambi i personaggi peraltro anche ben assortiti nelle loro stramberie ed eccentricità. Molto piacevole è stato anche ritrovare i protagonisti dei libri precedenti che contribuiscono a rendere il tutto anche ora più esilarante. Insomma, un’altra storia perfetta per rilassarsi in tutta leggerezza

** 2 stelle alla traduzione e all’editing
Nuovo traduttore ma risultato che sembra peggiorare ogni volta di più. Ribadisco: non cerco la prosa del grande genio della penna, ma il rispetto delle regole basilari di grammatica e sintassi credo sia indispensabile. Aggiungo anche che la costruzione delle frasi nella lingua italiana è molto differente rispetto a quella nella lingua della scrittrice; mantenere la forma originale non rende certo un buon servizio alla traduzione.

* 1 stella alla Newton Compton Editori
Continuo a domandarmi con quale criterio una casa editrice possa mettere in vendita un prodotto così carente sotto il profilo linguistico. Un libro, quale che sia il contenuto, deve imprescindibilmente rispettare le regole di grammatica e sintassi.

Too much of the hero being a dick for a higher score. Thought about lower. ( )

so far this is my least favorite book of the series. Not sure why, but i just didn't connect with the characters. ( )

How many time can one read a series - I don't think I ever get old, and this is one of my favourites in the series -the pranks they play on each other are hilarious to experience - I adore her brothers and cousins of course, and the progression of their relationship - so good, epic, wonderful, need more of the dog though, that'd be fun ( )

Loved the storyline! The bantering in this series is fantastic! Laughed out loud several times! The sex scenes were great but did not seem to be as many in this book as in the first two. ( )
