One of my book blogger friends, Cindy Davis at Cindy’s Book Corner, recently recommended Annah Conwell’s novels to me. I actually had But He’s My Grumpy Neighbor in my Kindle, and I was looking for a good Contemporary Romance to disappear into, so I started reading this book. OH. MY. GOODNESS…But He’s My Grumpy Neighbor is the best! I devoured this delightfully endearing novel in less than one day. This was definitely another story I read well past my bedtime. I loved everything about it. Conwell’s storytelling style is one of my favorites — smooth prose, witty and flirty banter, and deep emotions. I felt all sorts of feelings with this read: I laughed out loud, I totally teared up, I felt warm and cozy and happy, and I genuinely smiled! It was wonderful. The characters are the absolute best. Juliette is our heroine and she is hilarious. I love her friendliness, her kindness, her loyalty, and her vivaciousness. I appreciate how she is able to pull Adrian out of his shell, so to speak. Adrian is a very closed-off guy, but it’s not without reason. He is the ultimate kind of hero — the protector hero. There is nothing more swoony than a man who lives to protect, and I enjoyed every moment Adrian swept in and saved the day. Juliette needed a hero, and Adrian is exactly the right man for the job. I love how over the course of the story Juliette becomes stronger in who she is because she feels so safe with Adrian. When you are with the right person, you truly are free to become the best possible version of yourself. I had so much fun watching these characters learn how to trust again, learn how to be good friends, and then, finally, fall for one another. It was one of the sweetest, most realistic, most relatable romances I’ve ever read.

But He’s My Grumpy Neighbor is a fantastic Contemporary Romance that I highly, highly recommend. I adored every minute of this story and cannot wait to get to book 2. If you’re a fan of excellent storytelling, wonderfully endearing characters, and running the gamut of emotions while reading, then this is definitely the book for you!
