Neighbor Dearest by Penelope Ward Book Summary

A STANDALONE NOVEL that does NOT need to be read in conjunction with any other book.

From New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a friends-to-lovers story with sexy new characters.

After getting dumped, the last thing I needed was to move next door to someone who reminded me of my ex-boyfriend, Elec.

Damien was a hotter version of my ex.

The neighbor I’d dubbed “Angry Artist” also had two massive dogs that kept me up with their barking.

He wanted nothing to do with me. Or so I thought until one night I heard laughter coming through an apparent hole in my bedroom wall. 

Damien had been listening to all of my phone sessions with my therapist. 

The sexy artist next door now knew all of my deepest secrets and insecurities.

We got to talking. 

He set me straight with tips to get over my breakup. 

He became a good friend, but Damien made it clear that he couldn’t be anything more. 

Problem was, I was falling hard for him anyway. And as much as he pushed me away, I knew he felt the same…because his heartbeat didn’t lie.

I thought my heart had been broken by Elec, but it was alive and beating harder than ever for Damien. 

I just hoped he wouldn’t shatter it for good. 

Author's note – Neighbor Dearest is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Penelope ward, unite!. I just want to say that I love that all her books are connected! Stepbrother dearest, roommate, and now this book! I'm geekin out, okay now I need to finish the book lol

Find your UNICORN. I loved Elec...in stepbrother dearest... This book I was little upset with him... ...because Chelsea is great girl .. ...but as I read more.. Chelsea was made for Damien and Damien was made for Chelsea I love this book.. ..the characters are wonderful, ...their story is amazing and compelling !!.. Must read... ...then find your UNICORN !!!

another Penelope Ward Book Boyfriend!. I LOVE Penelope Ward. She is one of my favorite go to authors. That being said, Neighbor Dearest was not one of my favorites from her and I am so bummed that I didn’t love it. It has been getting some great reviews so this could be the case of it’s not the book but me. Penelope is known for giving us some of our favorite book boyfriends and Damien is no different. I loved this “Angry Artist” and even more so digging deeper to find out what was beneath his outside layer (secrets and all). Damien is pretty straightforward from the get go letting Chelsea know that he is not looking for anything more than friendship and these two begin a friendship through a hole in the wall and with the assistance of the Double D’s (read the book to find out more about the Double D’s and it’s definitely not what you are thinking!). I absolutely love the push and pull in a friends to lovers story. I love that Ms. Ward gave Chelsea her own story as many of you may remember her from her book Stepbrother Dearest as she was the ex girlfriend of Elec. Chelsea certainly deserved her own HEA. This book was good and there were definitely some emotional parts in the story that touched my heart. However, I felt like I was missing something while I was reading…like I just wanted MORE. More emotional, more connection – I felt like this story somehow felt lacking. I didn’t love how sex was so overdone either. While I enjoy heat in a book, often times I prefer the epic romance vs. the physical aspect of the relationship. Again this is my opinion and just how I felt while I was reading this book. I will continue reading Penelope Ward books as she is without a doubt one of my favorite authors. This one just fell short for me

Awesome!!. My favorite book so far. Can't get enough of the story.. Worth your $$$.. Will not disappoint the reader

Predictable. This was not as good as dearest stepbrother. Not bad, just too predictable and too fake in some parts. Also was hard to hear them talk of Greta and Elec without being annoyed haha guess I liked their characters better. Overall an ok read.

Great!!. I didn’t think I would ever like a book as much as I liked Stepbrother Dearest, but here it is. I love how Penelope starts a romance and fully finishes it with an idea of the rest of their lives. It made me cry many times and I look forward to another book of hers.

The Omen and Firestarter. Really fun read. Chelsea and her sister Jade have a great fun relationship and I loved their easy banter. Damien the brooding angry artist and his fun loving brother Ty. Oh and the Double D's how fun are they and I loved when Chelsea kept calling them that. It seems like the door was left open to the possibility of a book about Ty and maybe Jade hmm.

TEAM Chelsea and Damien !. This book made me laugh(out loud),cry(ugly) and swoon. I wanted to strangle Elec but I'm glad it worked out for Chelsea. Damien had me wanting to throat punch him at times with the way he couldn't hardly stay away from Chelsea but wouldn't commit. Then we find out that well he's got major medical issues. Which made me just fall a little harder for him in that moment. Loved the supporting cast. I want Jade and Ty to get their own book too ❤️ This is a must read!

Loved It..... Okay so going into this story I was kind of scared to read because I completely loved Greta and Elec.... But OMG I am so glad I read it and that Penelope wrote it, I think she is such and amazing author I love her work!!! And I am so happy that Chelsea got her happy ending. I loved the Damien loved her so fiercely, the ending was the best I loved their story!!! And I want to assume we are getting Tyler and Jade's story, please that would be so awesome!!!

Amazing! ❤️. OMG!!! I loved Damien and Chelsea couldn't put this book down a must read! 😍

Good enough. Not one of my favorite stories from Penelope Ward, but still a pretty good read. I read in two sittings and wasn’t disappointed by the emotional connection between the main characters. There were a few things that struck me as unrealistic, and at times the author takes a bit of a religious tone, hence the 3/5. I’m looking forward to the author’s new release later this month!

Loved it!!. Best money spent!!

I need to know.... I saw this book before and I just wasn't convinced. Today I stumbled upon it on YouTube and decided to give it a listen. BEST DECISION EVER.! I got about 2 hours in and knew this was a book worth purchasing. Really great read. So thankful for YouTube suggestions.

IN LOVE. I loved Elec's story in stepbrother dearest but this was great! I'm glad Chelsea found happiness and I'm excited for more books like these!

Amazing. Oh.My.God. Amazing. Love. Love. Love.

Love. Deeply love all of her books great read great story!!!!!!!!

Wow!!. I absolutely loved this book. I'm so glad Chelsea got her HEA and found Damien. You won't regret buying this book it's just as good as all Penelope's other books she one of my favorite authors. I am a reader and wish I could write like so many of my favorite authors but unfortunately I'm not and if I write to much I'll give away the whole book so take a leap and read it you won't be disappointed. I'm hoping there's another book in the future about Damien's brother, Tyler and maybe with or without Chelsea's sister, Jade. Either way fingers crossed if not one book maybe two new books each about them on there own would be great too...

Perfection. What an incredible story... I loved everything about it. There parts I cried because I can relate in certain aspects, but this was a well written story, it possessed all the ingredients for a beautiful love story. Penelope Ward has written another great story, I don't know if she reads the reviews but she needs to know she is very talented and gifted writer...I truly love this story.

STOP!. You found the one! Amazing novel!

Wonderful. I didn't think a story could not the one u wrote about elec and greta in stepbrother dearest...but this book was just as wonderful. I'm so glad u gave Chelsea her happily ever. Would love to read about Tyler and jade!

LOVED IT!!!!. It was so great i couldn't stop reading! Now I can't wait for Jade and Tyler!!! Penelope Ward is my fav!

Good and bad. Good because the story was awesome bad because I didn't like the negative feelings towards Elec and Greta... That was not needed nor appreciated.... Thus my 4 stars.

Read in one day. Couldn't put it down. Characters drew you in with their heart and witty dialogue. A truly unique story that was a pleasure to read.

Great Sequel. This was a great sequel to Step Brother Dearest wish there was a third book about Jade from Roomhates but oh well

A wild romance that I loved. "God made you for me."  Just let those words resonate. That's really the whole meaning of this wild romance. Chelsea (Elec's Ex) hasn't had it easy. After losing her love to his stepsister. She's lost, even chooses therapy to get through. But what she didn't expect was Damien to appear out of nowhere. And the DD's who become a huge part of her life. When one loses love, they tend to be on the fence of every experiencing it again. Damien and Chelsea go through so much through this story. It does span over a few years. It's not rushed, it's not an insta-romance on the spot. It builds, the character development is on another level. You somehow connect to these two souls on a deeper level. Ward, just creates these stories. Their like little packages, given to the reader. To enjoy and be immersed in their world.  I was listening with anticipation. Wondering what was going to be around the corner with these two. It's just as steamy as the first in this series. And Damien is such a horn dog. And well Chelsea isn't far off. What else I like about how Ward writes these books. You don't get a glimpse into the male character, till the very end. It keeps the mystery there and you're in the same boat as the main POV.  The narration was great and I loved the voice she gave all the characters, throughout this story. Overall, I give this Five Boundless Stars. It's a wonderful story of blind faith and the love that lies right in the forefront. 

Loved it!. This story was beautiful! I love that the guy was not messed up like some other ones. It was much better than stepbrother. Which you should read before this. It made sense when reading this he heartache of Chelsea. Once again I was caught up in the story and couldn't put it down .

Loved this story. When I rented apartments I never had a sexy neighbor like Damien. It took me a while to realize Chelsea was the same Chelsea from Stepbrother Dearest. No you don't have to read it beforehand to understand this story. You just get a glimpse of what happened to Chelsea and then it is all the Triple Ds after that.

Heart and Humor. Great book for heart and humor.

Oh so good. This is a definite emotional roller coaster. The first half of the book my heart ached for Chelsea. I almost didn't finish the book because so much time had passed that I couldn't fathom the HEA. Damien is so adamant against a relationship. But, of course I continued on and when it is revealed why Damien is not committing to Chelsea my heart cracked. I did not see that coming. The rest of the book continues on the roller coaster as Damien and Chelsea work through their ups and downs. I held my breath for several chapters until the HEA.

Loved it. All I have to say is what an amazing book, loved it and to be honest really didn't want it to finish. I loved everything about the book, I loved the characters, i loved the writing as always. When you take pretty much two broken hearts and bring them to love harder than ever before it just makes it a beautiful book. Congrats Penelope Ward on another fantastic book. Loved this book so hard.

Enjoyable. Took a bit to get into, but loved it. Characters were great, another easy read. Read it in one night, couldn't put it down, looking forward to the next book 👍👍

Amazing. Loved this book so much

Hot Neighbour. Loved this book with a storyline I haven’t read in a while. Great formula - gorgeous neighbour but not perfect, hot girl with a broken heart come together with a HEA. ❤️

Neighbor Dearest. Omg what a fantastic book, you are such a wonderful writer. Can't wait for the next one 😊😊

Loved it!. Amazing read ! Loved the story

A Gripping Story and Charming Heroes!. 4.5 STARS Oh wow, this book! I was waiting to read it from the moment I saw the blurb and it started very strong with amusing scenes. But when I thought I had the book all figured out, an unforeseen twist made it even better. The story turned so much profound and not sweet and light anymore. I was completely surprised by it and it also increased my love for this wonderful romance! “You’re in my heart and I can’t get you out. I don’t know if I want to. Being with you is the only thing that feels right.” Chelsea had her heart broken when her boyfriend left her for someone else. A year later she moves in a new apartment and her new neighbor is so sexy, but kind of a jerk. The attraction between her and Damien is instant, but after a less than favorable meeting they share little moments that slowly start forging their friendship. The funny situations they put themselves in is hilarious by times, but there’s also sweet moments where they really connect. The two D’s, Damien’s dogs, are a great addition to the story and of a great importance. I think they were a link to help Damien and Chelsea open up to each other. While I was progressing with my read, the amusing tone of the book turned into a more solemn and serious one. The story then became deeper and more emotional. It was so beautifully done! There’s a lot of tension and heated moments that occur due to the growing feelings being denied by them both. They keep fighting and rejecting their need to be together for reasons they judge insurmountable. I felt sad for them, when they were at odds, seeing them both hurting by being away from each other. It was so easy to see they were the ideal couple. Their difficult choices were heartbreaking but needed, to help them understand the meaning of their feelings. “Just know that I love you with all my heart and soul and that it’s limitless. As long as my heart is beating, it will only beat for you.” Penelope Ward achieves to write here a gripping story of friendship turned into love and its hurdles, complimented by a charming duo of heroes. This story is one you don’t want to miss!

5 Firestarted Stars. Wow! Another witty, romantic, laugh out loud book by this author. The story written of Chelsea and D is so clever! Funtastic read! 5 stars!!!

Soooo goood!!!!. Loved this book just as much if not more than Stepbrother Dearest! I hope there’s a book for Jade & Tyler!!! I love your character building and plot twists, it’s all very entertaining and keeps me thoroughly engaged!

Neighbor Dearest. Enjoyed the story and characters, especially the Double D's. The beginning was quite funny also. Hope to read a story about Tyler & Jade soon.
