Thank you SMP Romance and NetGalley for the eARC of How to Love Your Neighbor!  All opinions in this review are my own.

The house next to Noah has been vacant since he moved in and he really wants to buy it in order to expand his backyard.  When Grace finally moves in, Noah immediately offers to buy her house.  Little does he know, this house was Grace's grandparents' and she can't wait to renovate it.  In this close proximity, hate to love romance, Noah and Grace grow closer as they both deal with the problems of rennovation.

I have to admit Noah walked a very fine line for most of the book.  I find that sometimes hate to love romances push so far into the hate territory to start that it is hard to recover from once the characters fall in love.  Noah's tendency to solve his problems with money got old quickly, however, I was glad we also had his point of view.  I think without hearing his side of the story, Noah would have come across as a much shallower character and it would have been hard to believe that he had genuine feels for Grace.

I love how the tension built throughout most of the book but both characters acknowledged that they wanted different things. I appreciate that Grace recognized Noah didn't want a relationship and wasn't trying to "fix" him until he was ready to truly be with her.

I liked Noah and Grace's romance but I'm really excited to go back and read Chris and Everly's romance in Ten Rules for Faking It!
