Neighborhood Watch (Twin Estates #4)

5.5 Amazing Stars!
This is the best book in the Twin Estates series and Ill challenge anyone who thinks differently to a thumb war! I really wanted to write that in shouty caps but Ive decided to be mature and restrained; even though Im screaming this at the top of my lungs.

This book is darker and edgier than the previous three books and for those of us that love some angst with our romance theres plenty of it. As with previous books by Ms Fantome, its written with her particular brand of humor that her fans have come to expect. The writing is amazing and so incredibly fast paced; I felt I had just started it five minutes ago and then it ended! I dont know what I loved most, the beginning or the end, plus theres everything in between.

I was lost, and you found me, so I guess that makes us even.

We got a glimpse of Dr. Landon Edenhoff in Block Party. Liam described his relationship with his twin brother but I feel we werent properly warned about how bad this boy really is. Landons list of nasty habits include smoking anything legal and illegal, dr*gs (also legal and illegal), drinking too much, dirty talk and even dirtier s*x; he did it all and was unapologetic about it. After hooking up with Tori he gets a brilliant idea to invite her along on a trip he needs to take.

Dont go looking for rainbows where there arent any.
You dont look for rainbows, they justappear.
Does that make you my rainbow?
Maybe it makes you mine.
I just wanted a vacation, and some excitement.
And?
And, I think I got more than I bargained for.

Poor Tori Bellows, shes still not over Liam putting her in the friend zone, and shes wondering when itll be her turn to find someone. After quitting her job and hooking up with Landon, a mistake she thought shed regret, Tori decides to take him up on his offer; fly halfway across the world for a week on a beach with the promise of lots and lots of sex. Shed never imagined he had something else in mind, besides sex. Tori knows this isnt a smart idea flying off with Landon without telling anyone where or who shes with.

After spending so much time together they start to reveal secrets, things no one else knows about the other, that theyve kept locked up. Landon realizes Toris always on, with a smile for everyone, even when shes hurting inside. And Tori discovers the bad boy might just be a hurt boy, a persona hes adopted, to hide the real Landon.

She wanted Landon to always be himself, in all his *effed up glory, because he was amazing. A force to be reckoned with, like a hurricane or a tornado.
Or an explosion

When they finally begin to trust each other, after a frightening and horrible incident that occurs one night, that hard earned trust is destroyed and maybe permanently obliterated.

***5 Explosion Stars***

So, I was Team Taco, but, after ALL of that (and I do mean ALL of that) Im Team A$%h^l@ and Basket Case because Hello, Emotional Rollercoaster. I went from wanting to take a two by four to both of their heads to wanting to hug them to getting that awful pressure burning thing behind by eyes warning me that liquid may actually start coming out of them. Then you add on the crazyness and OMG smexy going on…and this book I think has taken me beyond a hangover.

Landon is an a^@h)l%. Lets not even get that twisted, but then slivers of his soul appear which isnt all black, and show that there truly is more going on beneath the surface and I found myself absolutely fascinated by him and needed to dig deeper and see what really made him tick.

Tori. She vivacious, kind, compassionate, sassy and snarky and is a force to be reckoned with when the situation calls for it. I adored Tori, even when I wanted to reach through the Kindle and stop her from making certain decisions, I adored her because there was an honesty to her that came through in everything she did.

Explosive. I mean, nuclear level explosive is the only way to describe the crazy journey Tori and Landon went on together and separately, hence the cray cray emotional rollercoaster. These two put each other through the wringer and yet they worked even when they shouldnt have. It was crazy. But there you have it. They worked together on so many levels that they ended up being good for each other in the end.

This book was one heck of a ride. It really was, but it was so worth the emotional upheaval it caused. Watching Tori and Landon evolve and yet stay themselves was quite fascinating. The situations they find themselves in…kinda cray cray and catching up with the rest of the Twin Estates crew was a lot of fun. If you havent read the previous books in the series, I highly suggest that you do because they all interconnect and youll better understand the ebb and flow of the relationships between all the characters. Im hoping that there will be at least two more books in the works for this series, since there are a couple more characters Id love to know more about, so toes crossed!

I loved this story.
I had already read Liam’s story and I was very curious about Landon, this brother doctor that the whole family loved, but who has addiction problems and I knew that I would love it, but let me tell you that it completely exceeded my expectations. I think it’s my favorite of the whole series, the writing is fantastic, with a stable rhythm and a plot that had me hooked from the first page. It made me laugh, cry, sigh, it was heartbreaking.
The story presents Landon and Tori, Landon the sexy, not very communicative, smart and idiotic brother of Liam, and Tori, Liam’s best friend, but also who is in love with him.
I admit that at the beginning it was very hard for me to like Landon, he is an idiot of epic proportions who gave the appearance that he only thought of him. An egocentric who behaves too badly with Tori, and honestly apart from obvious skills in bed, I did not see him anything salvageable, but as the plot progresses we see glimpses of the sweet and vulnerable man Landon is. Little by little we are seeing his facade fall, and I ended up completely in love with him

I loved Tori, she is a great protagonist, sexy, funny, sincere and too loyal and given to her friends, always there for those who needed her. My heart broke for her on more than one occasion. A brave girl who despite her problems keeps going on.
The couple is perfect, I loved how they were complemented in every way, the sex scenes are hot, and the chemistry was noticed from the first page. The drama between the couple and the talks are great, I just loved them.

With a plot that hooks you, good writing, a stable rhythm, drama and anguish, the author gives us a beautiful story, with unique characters, damaged and a different plot.
Super recommended for those who like drama like me.

I love Stylo’s manner of story telling and always feel like I have watched a movie rather than read a book when I finish. Sometimes with 3rd POV books it can feel like the book is talking at you rather than to you but Stylo manages to tell the story in a way that the POV is not a factor.

I love this series, with each book it just gets better and I really don’t want it to end. As always this book is easily read as a standalone however it makes sense to read the series in order to enjoy it fully.

We’ve met Tori in the previous books yet we never really got to know her so I was glad to read her story and get to understand her character. Tori is the steadfast friend of everyone that has seen them all through their ups and downs but now she is left on the outskirts of coupledom. She deserves her own HEA, however her choice of bedmate makes that seem unlikely.

Landon is a douche and a proud one at that, he is the sofa dwelling twin of Liam, Tori’s boss who she has an unrequited crush on. He is a doctor who should be a catch but he should also come with his own health warning and has major issues that have landed him on his brothers settee.

When Tori’s plan to make a play for Liam backfire she finds herself in Landons sights. And when he makes a proposal for them both to get away from their issues with a holiday in Bali on him Tori throws caution to wind. However Landons issues are too big to just run away from and soon escalete causing them both big problems and Tori soon realises nothing is ever really free.

This is a much darker story than the rest of the series and takes us on an emotional rollercoaster like no other. You will want to shake these two and the next minute hug them. Tori and Landon shouldn’t work but their hidden vulnerabilities make them want to work and you will be fighting along with them too.

My absolute favourite in this series that I’m so not ready to end.

Heart-thumping, exciting and totally unexpected. I never thought I’d fall for the jerk Eden twin but damn, I plummeted.

I adored Tori before as the awesome bestie of Katya and was definitely my fave of the two of them. I loved this story, getting to know the real Tori behind what we’ve seen so far, lovestruck for Liam and unable to act on it while slowly breaking apart, until she tells him exactly what’s up. But what happens when its the wrong twin? Landon is gorgeous but a drug addict, a jerk and the embodiment of “Bad Boy”….hot damn though I LOVED his character, that dark edge to him got me all hot and bothered. He was such an unredeemable character but there was this little spark that kept me interested and wondering.

The plot to this was fantastic, it was a slow dance to begin with but then the pace picked up and I was sucked in and blown away. This was so different to the other books in the series and while I originally had book 3 as my favourite this one beat it hands down, they just keep getinng better! It was such an intense and emotional story, my heart was racing and I was totally addicted to the plot and the characters.

Lets just say I was team Eden before just for Liam but I think I need a joint first place, cant love one and not the other. Wow!
