Neighbour To The Rescue!
This is book 6 in the series Slapshot Series by Heather C. Myers. In this book we are introduced to Art who is in the NFL and a very successful player who is happy in his life, has enough money and friends and female company when he wants but he avoids relationships. His sexy next door neighbour, Chloe is real eye candy for him. He thinks she is one sexy librarian and gorgeous to boot but she is obvious relationship material so he avoids her. Chloe has notice Art but she avoids people and has few friends because she’s in hiding from her abusive ex boyfriend. But he’s wealthy and has obviously found her because it all started with her porch being covered in flowers. Poor Chloe is terrified and doesn’t know what to do. But Art, whilst trying to avoid her, can’t help but notice that there is something wrong and he goes to find out. When he finds out out about her ex he feels very protective of her and offers to pretend to be her boyfriend! Heather C. Myers has created such a great storyline here and her two main characters are so fitting for each other. Art is so amiable and charming as well as very handsome and gorgeous and Chloe is such a strong young woman who has had to be so strong for such a long time and has had no one to share the burden with her. once she shares with him about her stalker they grow closer until what started out as a fake relationship becomes so real. This issue of stalking and abuse within a relationship are such sensitive issues but I think that Heather did a really good job of addressing the issue although I wasn’t sure whether Tim, the ex, did get sufficient ‘punishment’ for his abuse.
