The Boy Next Door by Mei Edwards
Jane is supposed to be on vacation. One whole week to relax and unwind, if only she can tear herself away from her work. Fortunately, there’s a distraction over the fence. She hasn’t seen Toby in years, and the connection is immediate. But when push comes to shove, is she willing to take a chance on a holiday romance?
Old friends, playing catch-up after college. One not-yet-lawyer who has trouble putting her work down, the other with an ill-fitting degree looking for a job that fits. Endearingly bad jokes. Both of them are good at being reasonable and respecting each other’s plans regarding their jobs and futures. They do a good job of working things out. -- Mel
This was one of my favorites in this anthology. The leads felt so real and very cute. I loved that it was set in New Zealand and featured a Maori lead. I want more from this author. Five Stars. -- Michelle Louise
