The Neighborhood (A Twin Estates Novel Book 2) Kindle Edition
1. Have loud parties late at night
2. Refuse to mow his lawn
3. Steal your newspapers
4. Rip your heart out and walk all over it
Katya Tocci is willing to admit that she may have bitten off more than she could chew.
Liam Edenhoff showed her a side of life she'd been missing out on - sex and friendship and tacos. But then he betrayed her.
Wulfric Stone taught her that big surprises can come from unexpected places - like from a surly, aggressive, withdrawn bastard. But then he broke her heart.
Now one of them wants forgiveness, and the other wants forever. And Katya? She just wants to forget.
Who knew neighbors could be so difficult?

About the author
Crazy woman from an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ... forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball - I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I'm clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.
I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there's your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair - both a curse and a blessing - and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can't understand me.
Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

I was a bit disappointed as I felt it wasn't as good as the first book. I don't think we needed all the games for such a length. However I did want to find out what happened.
Well it wasn't difficult to guess who won.
I loved the drama and tension in the first book, but this time around it just felt like we were going around and around in the same circle for 50% of the book.
I really, really, really disliked both Katya and Wulf in this one. I wanted to slap them both around the head with my kindle, all the while telling Liam to run for his life to get away from their toxicity.
I did something I never do whilst reading this one - I skipped ahead to read the final chapter when only about 40% in. I am glad I did, as I didn't mind speed reading/skipping through some chapters.
This one picks up from where we were left in bk 1, and continues the saga of the love triangle between Katya, Liam and Wulfric.
As Katya struggles to forgive the betrayal she suffered by both men, she decides its time to play the game her way. With both men wanting her, Katya decides it's time to pit them against each other, with no intention of choosing either. However what she didn't count on was her heart getting involved.
This was a great conclusion filled with drama, angst, pain, heartache and finally a happy ending.
A lot of drama. I can see Stylo is setting up the secondary characters stories.
Looking forward to more neighbor drama!

"He may have lost the first battle, but he wouldn't lose the war"
What I loved about this book was that I got to see a lot of growth with the characters. They have changed so much from the first book. Katya struggles so much through this book. Deciding with what is right and wrong. What I loved so much is the self discovery each character had in this book. Katya realizes that she isn't either the old Kat or the new Kat, but a blend of the two. And I loved that. We finally learn what makes Liam and Wulf tick. Finally see the insecurities that both Liam and Wulf have. Why they are the way they are. How they have and plan to overcome it. But I did end up feeling sorry for these boys which was shocking. They deserved what they got.
"Because you're still thinking of it as a game, and regardless of what she said tonight, she stopped being a game to me a long time ago"
Katya was hurt tremendously so she wanted to take revenge and make those boys feel how they made her feel. She struggled with this as well. She felt as if she was doing wrong and yet she felt she was doing right. She wanted to do what would make her feel better and at the time, it was making those boys pay. And yes, how they acted made them boys. Throughout the revenge scheme, Katya became more confused with her feelings for these men. She wanted to forgive. She wanted her best friend back. But one of the guys hurt her the most and she didn't think she could ever forgive him. Katya was so much stronger in this book. She stood up for herself.
"I'm here with you in the dark. You never have to be scared with me"
Wulf we get to see his vulnerable side a lot more in this book. His insecurities. He always thought Katya would make the right decision, and yet at times, he was concerned that she would make the wrong decision. Loving Katya was a new experience for him and he fought so hard for her. Played her games. Did whatever she asked. He always stayed the same though. Always brooding. In this book we see how selfless Wulf truly is. What he has done for his family.
"You said you would fight for me. You said you would believe in me. You said you would bring me back from hell. Time to get to work, Tocci"
"What is good or right isn't an option anymore. It's moved into the realm of need. I need her, so much. She belongs with me, we belong together. So however long it takes, that's how long it takes. I can play the part of a stone and wait her out. It's what I was born to do, after all."
Liam has so many insecurities. Everything is a game to him and he always has to try to win no matter what. He has always felt second best so he wasn't going to lose this game. He put all his cards on the table and fought for the girl he wanted as well or so he thought. I loved the friendship that he had with Katya. I loved how they were when they were together.
"Don't ever tell me I can't do something, because then I will do it better than it's ever been done before."
Things really take a change when something tragic happens in Katya's life. That event starts them on the path to where and who they end up with. And OH-MY-GOSH!!!! The scene with Katya professing her love for the chosen guy at the end in the fountain made me swoon and cry. It was just so beautiful, and I was so happy.
"Having a good neighbor is nice, but having one that loves you and takes care of you and makes every moment feel like it's catching fire? Well, that's just the best neighbor ever..."
The Neighborhood was a beautifully written story full of love, regret and forgiveness. I LOVED everything about this book. I truly felt for these characters. I was very happy about how everything turned out. DEFINITELY happy!!! I am really hoping Stylo writes a novella on Katya and her man. I would love to see them again!! I can't wait to get the next story though!!!
The Neighborhood is book two of the Twin Estates series. This completes the duology. But there will be at least one more book featuring one of the characters from Neighbors/The Neighborhood.
This book is an adult contemporary romance. You must have read Neighbors to read this book (it is a continuing story). There will be some spoilers from Neighbors in this review.
There are three 3rd person narrators: Katya, Wulf, and Liam.
I really enjoyed Neighbors, so I was very anxious to read this book.
The first book had a love triangle. Katya made her choice, but then she was betrayed. So the love triangle is back again in book two.
The 3rd person POVs worked much better in this book vs the first book. Most POV changes were in different chapters. But at least when there were two points of view in the same chapter there was a star so the reader was aware of what was happening.
Like the first book the kindle version of The Neighborhood has no chapter breaks. At least there is a table of contents at the beginning. But I miss having chapter breaks (being able to go to the next chapter or back to the last one).
The Neighborhood had a very different feel than Neighbors. The first book was so much sexier. This book was all about Katya and revenge and anger. Even though what Liam and Wulf did was horrible I really did not love the first half of this book. It was slow and it was all about Katya playing games.
The book is set in San Francisco. Katya decorates cakes at a bakery. Wulf is very rich. He was Katya's childhood neighbor. His mom still lives next door to her parents. Liam owns her building and runs a sex club.
The first book was very sexy. At the start of book two Katya is mad at both men. She doesn't trust either of them. I really loved Liam. Wulf was okay, but he was so abrasive. Even though I had a strong feeling who Katya would choose I really was Team Liam.
There was a development towards the end of the book with Katya's family that I thought made the book much more interesting. But overall this book was good, but not a great sequel. However, I am extremely intrigued by who is going to be in the next book, Block Party.
*Like the first book I was a bit frustrated by the number of typos/misused words/wrong words used/missing words. For example "potentially embarrass you parents" instead of your parents, "she took deep breath" instead of a deep breath, "he sat silent went he wanted to rage" instead of when he wanted to rage...
