The Boy Next Door

Here’s what Nannette from Joyfully Reviewed had to say about The Boy Next Door:
“The Boy Next Door is a fun and sexy story.  I enjoyed the wild and fun lifestyle Cathy led before Blake returned, but I love the commitment and searing passion that she shares with Blake even more.  Cathy plays the part of a wicked temptress, but, in truth, her heart lies with just one man.  Blake is a gorgeous hero who is both possessive and tender.  The ending is so very romantic.  The Boy Next Door is a steamy, touching, highly recommend read!”

Here’s what Desiree fromErotic Escapades had to say about The Boy Next Door

Using the edge created from attending the school of hard knocks, the heroine drafted by Nicole Austin, gives women everywhere a reason to hold their heads up. Gutsy and talented while living with the hollowness created from a lost love, Cathy shows women you can still persevere. I love it when an author allows me to see the flaws of the characters but still shows that it doesn’t stop them from excelling. Blake was sexy and an ideal
choice for the woman Cathy grew into. I enjoyed the pace of The Boy Next Door, the heat in the relationship and the growth these two experienced while deciding to choose love.

Shayla from Romance Junkies gives The Boy Next Door a 4 Blue Ribbon rating

“When a long gone hunky neighbor returns, what’s a girl to do but welcome him home, or does she?”

“THE BOY NEXT DOOR is a fantasy most women dream about. Who wouldn’t want a cute neighbor that goes away only to come back a hunk? Nicole Austin’s story is a high-quality read with all the right twists and turns.”

Tasha Fisher from Just Erotic Romance Reviews gives The Boy Next Door a 4 Star rating, and a Hot heat level.

“This is my first book by Ms. Austin and will definitely not be my last; she has made a fan of me. If you have ever had a thing for your brother’s friend or a close neighbor you can relate to Cat and how she felt about Blake. Another character that caught my eye was Steve, Cat’s brother. I like the way that he was always there to tease the others and help bring them together. The pace of the story is steady. The idea of the plot is a great one and it’s something that a lot of people, men and women alike, can relate to. The encounters between Cat and Blake will keep you glued to your seat in more ways than one. Cat is a strong female that made her own way and finds it hard to listen to her heart. Blake is a man that knows what he wants and won’t stop until he gets it, or in this case, her. Together they make a great couple and will have you wetting your seat with all of their close calls, but when they finally get all of the clothes off, look out. Ms. Austin made a field goal with this book.”

Here’s what Christine, a reader, had to say about TheBoy Next Door

“Nicole Austin has written a hot and sexy storywith characters I can “feel” and bond with because they are far from perfect, and real. Throughout the pages of The Boy Next Door, Ms. Austin has led me through a battle of hearts, which as most of us know can be the scariest, yet most thrilling of battles to have to face. I absolutely adore the duality of Cathy’s / Cat’s personality throughout the story, where on one hand her self protective, shy and innocent side endeared her to me, and on the other hand, her wild and crazy, ‘grab ‘em by the balls and make the men beg’ side is hot and sassy and makes me wish I had the audacity to be like her. And Blake *sigh*…. I love how being a protector is ingrained through Blake’s entire being and how he lives and breathes that part of him. And what I love more is when his heart finally comes into the equation and the tough, military, alpha, bad boy comes to love…. of all things… a Cat with a bit of an identity issue.”

Here’s what author NJ Walters had to say about The Boy Next Door

“I was luck enough to get a sneak peak at Nic’s next book and she has penned another winner!”

“Her writing style is amazingly fluid. It grabs the reader right from the very start and keeps you reading. Both Cat and Blake are complex characters with a whole lot of baggage to work through. They need to sort out their own stuff before they can have a chance at becoming a couple.”

“Sexy, sensual, and incredibly well written, you’re going to love this book. It was a cold winter’s day here when I read it, but after that beach scene…*fanning face*…I certainly didn’t need a sweater. The anticipation builds between the couple with a series of very steamy interludes. Wow!” 

Here’s what Kristi Ahlers from Romantic Times Magazine had to say about The Boy Next Door: Rating: 4 Stars

“Austin’s sexy read should appeal to all fans of erotica. Well-developed characters with steamy chemistry engage from the get-go. The tastefully written love scenes are sizzling yet believable. The past relationship between the two main characters adds to the tension.”

4 Quills from Debbie H - Gottawritenetwork.com 

“The Boy Next Door by Nicole Austin is a well written story of two hearts that have always belonged together. Though life has kept them apart for various reasons it is easy to see that Cathy and Blake belong together. And when they finally get together they very nearly set the pages on fire. But it is the emotional pull that had this reader eagerly turning the pages. Cathy is dealing with some serious issues of abandonment and trust. Ms. Austin refused to sweep them under the rug instead using them to intensify the emotional pull of the story. Blake didn’t come without his own issues as well and the constant tug on both lead characters keeps you enthralled in the story and rooting for these two to find their happily ever after with each other. Ms Austin scores another divine read with The Boy Next Door!”
