Christmas from Hell

I LOVE these books, but this story seemed like it was in the middle of the editing process. The story seemed rushed and bounced around without enough intro or information. There were misspellings and in the early part of the book the paragraphs were not indented so the paragraphs ran together. throughout the book paragraphs next to each other had lines or exact phrases that seemed to repeat.

I love all of the books by R. L. Mathewson, but I was very disappointed in this one.

Warning: This review/rating is based on my feelings, thoughts, likes and dislikes. You should read the book to form your own opinion/thoughts. Read on!

Rating: 10 Necie Necie Necie Stars
Cover: Could be better
Cliffhanger: We will continue to see cameos of most of the couples in future books.

I don't care if it seems repetitive or if some of the jokes seem similar, to me, they don't. I laugh a lot with this book, with all their shenanigans.

Necie was just hilarious, she really was jinxed, every possible accident/incident can happen around her. I loved her, her nervousness, her talent for baking desserts (which is heaven for every Bradford), her strength (she wanted Duncan but knew when to fight for herself, or rather, hurt him without meaning to).

Duncan was just what i needed these days, i loved him, you may think they all seem similar, but hey, they are family, they have been raised with the same morals, rules, habits, behaviors, etc, etc., so they will behave similarly. Absolutely loved him.

"He hadn’t expected her to say no, especially that fast, so he’d waited, giving her a minute or two to realize what he’d asked her, reward him with one of those beautiful blushes of hers, jump up and down for joy, get down on her knees, sob a little bit and thank God that this day had finally come."

I wanted to see more of the other couples, wasn't enough for me.

Oh, and her grandfather, i fell in love with him! Hopefully, RL will give him a love affair? Yes?

"Her grandfather had lied to her the same way he’d lied to her whenever she had to get a shot. It wasn’t a quick pinch that was over in seconds, but an agonizing pain that threatened to tear her in two as he tightened his hold on her hips, held her still and ground his manhood inside her."

I love this series, and i will just continue reading until RL can't write anymore, but i'm guessing she will get one of those software that you dictate and the computer types everything for you, so, i will be reading her books until i die...period...

Highly recommended!

Not as well developed or edited as the other books in the neighbor from hell series. It was a good enough story but the characters and plot could have been expanded on and it probably would have been much better.

As always, extraordinary work. You can never go wrong with an R.L. Mathewson book. Her stories relate to everyday people and situations keeping it real. I am not afraid to say that I am an avid fan of her books and will continue to support her.

I really enjoy this author's work. She really has an interesting wit and fun to read style. I guess I loved Trevor and zoe so much that none of the other books match that for me. This was very fun and fast-paced. I loved how Duncan thought he hated neicie and thought she was a pain. I loved her klutzy ways. These are unique books for almost any reader to enjoy.

RL Mathewson has done it again!!!! She written a fabulous book. I couldn't put it down till I'd finished the entire book. Each story has its own line but weaves together perfectly with all the other stories. I love how Niece has grown up and how it's made her the woman she is. There is so mu more I want to say but I don't want to be a spoiler. So I'll end with this.....RL Mathewson is an amazing writer who combines humor, tragedy, love and life in a way that keeps you reading just know the next part of the story. Every book I've read by RL I haven't put down until I'd finished it!!! I love RL's books so much that I've read all of them at least twice if not 3-4 times. NEVER STOP WRITING, RL Mathewson!!!!!!

This was another great story but that doesn't surprise me. The Bradford's are at it again but this time it's the sweet neighbor Necie Dixon who brings all the trouble for poor Duncan Bradford. Necie is super sweet and extremely klutzy especially around Duncan. Necie has had a crush on Duncan from the moment she first saw him but knew he didn't feel the same because she did nothing but bring him pain, literally! Duncan seems to be in nothing but pain when his neighbor comes anywhere near him and for that he always kept his distance. However trouble keeps finding him and Duncan has trouble staying away until he doesn't want to anymore.
Their painful, in the literal sense, relationship begins and it's hilarious and sweet. We get some former Bradford men visiting us in this story and that's always super funny, especially since Necie is a culinary and baking God!
Grandpa was also a wonderful addition to his story and series, he's like a kindred spirit of the Bradfords.
Overall I really enjoyed this story, as I have with anything RL Matthewson has created. I definitely recommend it and look forward to more from the author :)

With this book the Bradfords are Back! I highly anticipated the release of this book as a continuation of the Neighbor from Hell Series. I have enjoyed the expansion of the Bradford family. Duncan has become a favorite character of mine and I truly enjoyed his love interest in this novel, Neice. Her klutziness is endearing to me. I enjoyed the interactions between the characters and also the love scenes, of course! I thought that it was well paced, for the short time period that it encompasses, this is a whirlwind romance (except for the year of avoidance and bodily harm), which Bradford relationships are. I do recommend if you have not read this series by R.L. Mathewson that you start at the beginning and read forward, as they do build upon each other and give you a rounded view of the Bradford Clan.

I bought each of the Honeymoon from Hell books as they came out on iBooks because they weren't yet available from the store. I like to listen (I'm spoiled, I know) to some books on my Kindle instead of reading them by sight. Anyway, I thought they were all pretty silly. Not so the Christmas from Hell book. Here we learn more about kind and giving Duncan Bradford who is barely mentioned in the Neighbors from Hell series and a little bit about his not-very-pleasant brother, Lucifer who owns Fire and Brimstone restaurant. Lucifer's family is not welcome (allowed) in his restaurant. This amusing book held my interest. I just wish girl-next door Necie wasn't quite so klutzy; it got a little old. I'm looking forward to the Neighbor from Hell book with Lucifer. I'm anxious to see him fall for the spitfire waitress he'd been trying to fire for five long years.

I absolutely loved this book. Just like all of the Neighbor books it kept you turning the page. You could really see these characters in your head. I even laughed out loud a few times which is a given whenever I read one of R. L. Mathewson's books.

As usual, Ms. Mathewson's story telling skills are evident in her newest book. Necie was the perfect klutz and Duncan the perfectly clueless target.

While not as hysterical as her previous books, this was a sweet story full of hawt sexy moments and a good dose of steamy sex.

The characters were certainly fleshed out, the banter of the entire cast was pithy and the story was darling.

I was bothered by the number of misspelled/misspoken words, though. Needed better editing.

First, let me start by saying that I enjoyed this book as I have all the others in the series. Second, no, this isn't the best in the series but it did make me giggle, and held my interest. A few of the things I didn't like about the book: it wasn't long enough (there could have been more angst), there were some words that were misused (i.e. Angel instead of angle), and there wasn't enough Jason and Trevor!!! RL is a fantastic author and I will definitely keep reading as long as she keeps writing. Hopefully Lucifer's story will be out soon so I can get my next fix! :)
