From New York Times bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the book that started it all...

For readers who enjoy touching stories that make them smile, laugh, and fall in love.

Done with being the world's biggest pushover, Haley has finally had enough and it was all thanks to her neighbor from hell. Since the day that he moved in next-door, Jason Bradford had been going out of his way to make her life a living hell, and today...

Today was going to be the day that he regretted pushing her too far.

The last thing that Jason expected was for his shy little neighbor to finally acknowledge his existence, but now that she had, he realized what he'd been missing. After taking her under his wing, he can't help but notice how nicely she fits in his life. Now, the only thing left to do was to convince her that this is anything but a game.

Un libro molto simpatico e divertente con personaggi e situazioni che a volte risultano esagerati ma perfetto per passare qualche ora in pieno relax col sorriso sulle labbra.
Sono cinque anni che la timida Haley sopporta quel bellimbusto del suo vicino di casa, chiassoso, invadente, maleducato, ma quando un giorno lo trova a strappare i suoi amati tulipani anche lei, sino ad allora così dolce e remissiva, trova finalmente la forza di reagire e di contrastare quel campione di invadenza che risponde al nome di Jason Bradford. E questo sarà solo l’inizio di quella che è destinata a diventare stranamente una bella amicizia che però porterà anche notevoli cambiamenti …
Se da una parte la trama e i personaggi mi hanno completamente catturato dall’altra sono rimasta molto sconcertata dalla traduzione che è stata fatta dell’originale, per cui ho deciso di scomporre in tre parti la mia valutazione.

***** 5 stelle alla scrittrice R.L. Mathewson
Storia e personaggi molto divertenti, anche se spesso sopra le righe, in un perfetto stile vivace e brioso. Un racconto che scorre piacevole e dove le esagerazioni sono parte imprescindibile della caratterizzazione e del divertimento. Una vicenda che conquista con la simpatia e due protagonisti che si compensano e completano nel più perfetto stile romantico.

** 2 stelle alla traduzione e all’editing
Tradurre un libro non vuol dire riportare semplicemente il significato letterale delle singole parole, ma significa riuscire anche a capire come e cosa volesse raccontare l’autore e renderlo, quindi, nel modo migliore nella lingua di destinazione. Ovvio presupposto è l’ottima conoscenza di entrambe le lingue. In questo libro l'italiano ne esce bistratto nel peggiore dei modi, ci sono parti dove addirittura non si riesce neanche a capire quale sia il soggetto e come si svolgono i fatti. Errori di forma e di grammatica, tempi e concordanze verbali lasciate al caso, parole ripetute all’inverosimile sconoscendo del tutto l’uso dei sinonimi e dei pronomi. Due stelle per incoraggiamento e perché, fortunatamente, il libro non è tutto così dalla prima all’ultima riga, anche se gli errori sono veramente troppi.

* 1 stella alla Newton Compton Editori
Non capisco come una casa editrice possa mettere in commercio un ebook che per quanto riguarda la lingua italiana grida vendetta. Una tale trascuratezza non è assolutamente ammissibile e chi ha consentito una simile pubblicazione andrebbe quanto meno rimandato a scuola a studiare. Ma l’autore lo sa del pessimo servizio che le è stato reso?

E per finire una domanda: ho letto le recensioni fatte da alcuni blog ai libri sinora pubblicati di questa serie e, di queste, non una ha avuto il buon gusto/coraggio di far notare i troppi “errori/orrori” che li riempiono. È forse più importante compiacere una casa editrice che regala libri da leggere e ovviamente poi da recensire, piuttosto che far notare quanto è stata maltratta la lingua italiana? Ma tra le tante funzioni di un libro, per quanto futile possa essere il suo contenuto, non ci dovrebbe essere anche quella di strumento di conoscenza della lingua? E che lingua potremo mai apprendere da un libro tradotto in questa maniera?

I didn't know what to expect with this book, especially with the title of series being "Neighbor From H*ll" but I thought I would give it a try anyway. So glad I did as I was pleasantly surprised just how funny this book was (again - book cover and series title definitely create the wrong illusion of the contents). While I am happy with how the book ended, if I had to live next to someone like Jason, trust me - he wouldn’t have made it to a HEA! For that alone, Haley deserves a medal!

You can take the man out of the frat house, but you can’t take the frat house out of the man. Jason is the guy every woman wants to be with (just ask his neighbors as his latest conquest goes berserk on his front yard) and every guy wants to emulate. He’s gorgeous, funny, smart, and dedicated to the minds of tomorrow (i.e. he is teacher). He is also selfish, self-centered, and a nightmare that Haley has had to deal with for FIVE years! She has tried everything, including selling her house but Jason scared off every single prospect. Feeling trapped and close to her breaking point, Jason finally pushes her over the edge when he begins pulling her grandmother’s flowers out of her yard. A long overdue stand-off between neighbors in rudely interrupted by a swarm of bees. Running for their lives and trapped in Haley’s house, Jason and Haley finally get to know each other, becoming the best of friends and accidentally more.

As much as I enjoyed this book, there were certain aspects of it that "irked" me. The book was absolutely hilarious and very witty but the writing struggled at times, taking away from some moments with either overkill in referencing a previous situation or vocabulary redundancy. I applaud the writer for not going Grammarly crazy (yes - we can tell when authors do that) but it limits in the writing dynamic was apparent. With that being said (and once you got use to it although if I heard her nickname used one more time I was going to scream), the book itself was so much fun! The brotherly love between Mitch, Brad, and Jason provided an immense amount of character depth for Jason (and reveals that he has some SERIOUS quick to anger issues!) Those guys together always brought a row of giggles, that and his dad (I loved that guy!) The banter between Jason and Haley just amplified the reason why I read these books. You laugh until your sides hurt, you shake your head in wonder, and you applaud the author for being able to come up with dialogue that sharp. I will say though, where the author may have lacked in vernacular velocity, she very well made up for it with the sizzling scenes between Haley and Jason. The creative elements alone peaked my interest!

So much humor, so much heart, Playing For Keeps is definitely worth the read. I think the best part about this book is watching the apprentice become the master over time. When Haley comes into her own and Jason finally becomes the man she knew he could be, you kinda wanna give them both a high five for a job well done. ( )

Ya'll I cannot express my love for RL Mathewson - nor this series - I've probably read the entire series twice and the first few books about 5 times, I just recently listened to this audiobook and I just, I need more - RL just keeps stealing my money and it should make me sad but truly, it doesnt - and her interaction with fans is impeccable. Jason will always be my favourite Bradford and the epilogue was probably my favourite part of the book - mostly, and the use of YOU BASTARD just was undeniable in this book.. seriously, obsessed - also I think there's a reference to hollywood hearts book 1 in there - which even after I read this book multiple times I just now noticed, I clearly need help - read this series .. do it NOW ( )

Oh, no, no, no, no! Haley murmured in disbelief as she watched her pink, white, and yellow tulips being yanked viciously out of the ground.
