Blog Tour + Review: "Number Neighbors" by Emma Hart

I am ridiculously excited to participate in the blog tour celebrating today's release of Emma Hart's newest novel, "Number Neighbors." I've been looking forward to reading this story ever since I finished Ms. Hart's last release, "Frenemies," in which many of these characters were introduced. That said, I should note that even though the books share some of the same characters, they both read as complete standalones, and it is not necessary to read them in order.

My full review is included at the end of this post, but in short, "Number Neighbors" was a charming, funny, and sweet story, and I highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary romantic comedies.

About "Number Neighbors"

What happens when your number neighbor turns out to be your hot, British, next-door neighbor?

NUMBER NEIGHBORS, an all-new, side-splittingly hilarious neighbors-to-lovers rom-com from New York Times bestselling author, Emma Hart, is LIVE!

Bad Idea #241: Sending a dirty text to your number neighbor.

In my defense, my friends did it too, and their neighbors took it as the joke it was.

Mine didn’t.

He responded with a dirty text of his own. Next thing I know, I have a standing texting date every night at ten-thirty.

Until I have to miss it because the stray kitten who adopted me one week ago is sick. The only person I know who can help me at this time of night is my British next-door neighbor and local vet, Isaac Cooper.

I’ll keep him overnight, he says. Here’s my number to call me in the morning, he says.

The problem?

I know that number.

Because I’ve been texting it every night for the last four days.

My Review

"Number Neighbors" by Emma Hart was exactly the book I needed to read right now to put a smile on my face and escape from the craziness of the real world. It was hysterically funny, sweetly romantic, and steamy at the same time, and I adored it.

The male lead character, British veterinarian Isaac, was a fantastic and completely swoon-worthy book boyfriend. His love for animals and sense of humor made him a great match for the female lead, Hannah, who was wonderfully snarky and independent. Their banter was very amusing, and I laughed out loud during many of their conversations. I especially loved when they argued over American vs. British words and sayings (mainly because I'm a language nerd and find differences in dialects fascinating).

The secondary characters in this book were also a tremendous amount of fun, especially Hannah's matchmaking Grandma Jen and Jen's friends from book club. I loved Hannah's "attack kitten," Lucifer, too. She could deny that she was keeping him all she wanted, but her love for him was clear in the way she took such good care of him.

Overall, I loved "Number Neighbors" and can't wait for Ms. Hart's next release!
