Laycie is also looking for this one, and THIS!!!! I CAN ANSWER!!! 😛 I LOVE THIS ONE!!!

She asks:

Also! The books where the main men all love food, crazy love. Get chucked out of buffets just like their dad.

May be the same series as I’m already asking for (Reader Question – The book about the Hero that meets a little girl called Mikey…). 😛
I hope you know x

YES!!! I DO!! I DOOOOOO!!!

It’s one of the most hilarious, much-loved series from one of our very first indie-author addictions, R.L. Mathewson. You’re looking to indulge in the “Bradford family” otherwise known as “The Neighbor from Hell” series. <— *snort* :P!!!! read more

Reader Confession – That time R.L. Mathewson was there for me when I needed her most…

By 15 Comments

R.L. Mathewson & me. It was 2012, but to me, it feels like yesterday. <3 🙂

Oh yes… it’s another one of my own personal “reader confessions”. 😉 But I think this one is long overdue.
R.L. Mathewson wrote a heartfelt post on my personal Facebook page that had me in tears. And so… I had to tell her (and now you all)…
…this:
To R.L. Mathewson:

Okay, I’ll confess how you saved me…
When I wrote that “mini review” of the first book that I had ever read, of yours (a gem I felt like I just lucked-out upon) I couldn’t fully “write” the review, but just had to tell everyone about your books. The reason was, I was heading to Canada that morning. My dad was dying, and I was going to Canada to say goodbye.

My daddy and me.

I continued to read you… while I stayed with him in his Hospital room. And while he slept, your joyous, REAL characters, kept me company. So you were with me, throughout all of that. <3. I don’t know that I ever told anyone that.
It was R.L. Mathewson that kept me company through a sad moment in my life. read more

R.L. Mathewson – Hollywood Heart Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

In honor of meeting the wonderful author, R.L. Mathewson today, I’m putting up a reading order guide for one of her series (while I prepare a separate “meet & greet” post with pictures and a giveaway!)

When we were going crazy for this author’s “Neighbors From Hell” series, Jodi recommended this one, too!

“… try Humble Heart and Reclusive Heart by the same author. Humble Heart rocked although don’t judge by the first chapter or two. They were a completely different tone than the rest of the book that I didn’t quite get but the rest of the book was awesome! read more

R.L. Mathewson – Neighbors From Hell Series Reading Order

By 15 Comments

These books were just what I needed when I came across them back in January. Sweet, funny, and romantic but with just enough of that “real feel” that I love so much. These guys rocked my world!!

Found it by accident while looking for a new book, thought the synopsis sounded great (even though the book covers were, at one time, nondescript). Didn’t matter to me. The premise was right up my alley. It’s as if I was *magically* led to them and I was sucked in from the very beginning. They made me laugh like crazy, but I crushed HARD too. The “heroes” are gorgeous, sweet, and deliciously infuriating (driving their female neighbors crazy). In a bad way. And… in a good way too! And now they’re even better with the hot new covers! read more
