The Hideaway Neighbor (Corio Heights Book 4) by Rye Cox ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's been two years since lonely writer Noah saw his childhood sweetheart Lucas. After having his heart broken, he moved into an apartment in Corio Heights where he lives an isolated life with his two kittens. The last thing he expects is for Lucas to show up out of the blue at his door and to find out that Lucas is in fact his new neighbor.

Lucas has endured a rough two years, losing himself to his grief and ending up in a downward spiral. With his life finally getting back on track, he knows that the missing piece of his world is Noah. Can he win back the love of his life or is it too late?

This book was the epitome of a sweet second chance romance. Regardless of their differing social status the two guys have only ever had eyes for each other and I loved that even after being torn apart for two years, all either of them wanted was to find their way back to being together again.

I would have loved to see more of their relationship reforming in the present day as there seemed to be a lot of emphasis on their past relationship which personally made the story feel a little unbalanced to me.

This wasn't my favourite book in the Corio Heights series but was still a nice addition and I was happy to see the reclusive Noah get his well deserved happy ending.
