This Time Next Door by Gretchen Galway Book Summary

International Bestseller!

Twenty-six-year-old Rose Devlin may shop in the plus-size department, but she's never had a problem attracting men--with disastrous consequences. Recovering from her latest mistake, Rose has sworn off casual sex and moved to California to grow up, help her best friend, and make something of herself.

When Rose asks the cute-but-geeky guy next door to help her land a job in high tech, she never expects to unearth his quiet strength, stunning accomplishments--and hidden talents.

With a secret in her own past, Rose tries to keep her distance, but she finds that nerdy Mark isn't so nerdy when the lights go out. And that maybe, just maybe, she's not too grown up to risk one more disaster...

Refreshingly good!. I loved the book can not wait for another in the series.

Love a great read!!. This book was just GREAT!! loved the characters and the storyline. I didn't want it to end. Couldn't put it down. A very enjoyable read. A must! Very well rounded with fun, love, and ;-)

Excellent read!!!. What a rare find in the world of romance novels. It has the right touch of humour, seriousness and dollops of love and the hope of a happily ever after. Absolutely believable characters with real life issues. Thank you Miss Gretchen, Im your new fan.

Book Junky. Quick witted and sexy. Hits on all levels of relationships, friends and family. Highly recommended!!

Funny and intelligent. Great romantic comedy.. Loved it!

Super cute!. Didn't put it down! Can't wait to read more.

A well-written rom-com. A few typos do not detract from the enjoyment of reading this story. The story flows smoothly with believable characters and situations, and witty dialogue.

Better than the first. Mark is the hot, geeky guy you never saw coming. Loved it!

This Time Next Door. I didn’t think last be would ever win. Loved the surprise at the end.

What's going on next door. Great read, enjoyed every second.

This Time Next Door. I was skeptical when I began reading but totally enjoyed this funny, sexy book! Well worth the time spent on the Characters' adventures!

This time next door. Love this book sooooo much!!!.... Read it in 2days

Loved it!. Fabulous read. Couldn't put it down!

This time next door. This Galway's best yet! Loved it!

Fun read. What a great book. I looked forward to reading it each night before bed. I will certainly be reading another book from this author!

Long winded. The only reason I read it to the end was because I was too far into it to give up. Took forever to get to the point.

Cute story. Not many books have a main character as anything over a size 8, so this is a nice change reading about a size 18 woman, who has self confidence and enjoys sex. I've read another book with a size 14 woman and the author acted like she was a gorilla who didn't want to crush the guy she was having sex with, annoying to read, but Gretchen didn't make the character feel self conscious like that, which was good. Love the nerd aspect too!

I’ve read it twice. My favorite in the series. Rose’s character was so relatable.

Love this book!. Great, entertaining, sweet

This Time Next Door. Easy read, great characters, plot moved along well.

Good.. I enjoyed it very much. Nice summer, lazy read. I liked that the protagonist wasn't thin, and she was was confident and sexy. She had personality. I also like the tension between her and the lover interest. Good book.

This Time Next Door. I am not really sure how I feel about this book. First Rose moves to CA to be with her best friend who is pregnant with the child of Rose's ex... the best friend became pregnant the night they broke up.... The best friend and John the ex are freaking HORRIBLE people... I only kept writing this hoping for them to get what is deserved. and yes that did kinda happen with her losing the baby... but get this.... the Ex john still messed with Rose saying she as still in love with him and all that... Now lets talk about Mark..... FOR REAL? Mark was in love with the best friend and rose wasn't good enough for him... but he lusted after her... Blair the best friend was a forever woman but Rose was just a good screw... yeah there was a HEA in this book, but the way rose was treated by all parties was horrible. Yes she had somewhat of a backbone, but everyone and I mean EVERYONE trampled on her. Blair is NOT a best friend... and Jonh... john is a jerk...

Great and fun read!. I loved this book! I was totally invested in the characters, and eager to get to the end of the novel. Very well-written, and as a plus-size girl myself, it hit close to home.

Awesome book. Aside from few typos , great read n highly recommended

Poolside Candy. Perfect way to jump start summer rom com, poolside reading. Love, California, and a happy ending.

Sooo good!. Extremely entertaining! Fell in love with the characters, I could not stop reading although as it was getting closer to the end I didn’t want it to be so. Moving on to the next book in the series. I’m a fan!

Nice change of pace. Nice to have a main character who doesn't have a supermodels body

Loved it. I couldn't get out of the book, read it in just a few days. Wish there was an epilogue, but otherwise, great book.

This time next door. I enjoyed this cute story!

Read. I reAlly enjoyed this book, BUT my only complaint is this I wish there was more of an ending. A epilogue of if or when Rose and Mark get married. I'm such a sucker for a better happy ending.

This time Next Door. Loved the story of Rose and Mark! There are good men out there.

Wonderful book. Could not go to sleep had to finish it :) now going to look for other books by this author

A wonderful story!. Such a wonderful story to read. I am so glad I came across this author and series. I've been searching for a new good author for a while when I finally came across Gretchen Galway. I had download her free novel and was almost tempted to delete it after reading some of written short stories. Boy, am I glad I kept it and read it! It led me to reading the rest of the series which includes This Time Next Door about a shy geeky programmer and the beautiful, voluptuous, plus size Blondie next door. Definitely worth reading!

Cute story, but way too many open questions.. I actually enjoyed this book very much. It was cute, funny, and easy to read. However, there were too many plot points that were never addressed. I have pretty good suspension of disbelief, but the holes that were left in the story were too important to just leave hanging. 1. Why was he so embarrassed to be seen with her in front of his family? 2. What ever happened with her crappy co-workers? 3. Why did her crappy best friend just get a pass? 4. Why did she love her mom so much when she was so negative to the heroine. I would have probably written off all the other issues if it wasn’t for the BF Blair. She is literally the worst human being on the planet. Her boyfriend John is only marginally better and that’s only because he didn’t have the same expectation of loyalty as her BEST FRIEND. And they just get a whole big pass, while the heroine needs to get over it or is jealous. I was really thinking that Blair was going to get hit by a bus or something as comeuppance, but no just a HEA. *vomit*

This time next door.. Good . Read it straight though.

Great story. This is a great story. I love the romance, insecurity, & realism.

Hilarious!!!!! Loved it!. Laughed loudly and proudly as a size 18!

Delughtful story. Delightful story that destroys stereotypes and shows what true love is and how it can transform.

Who wants to read. A book about a fat broad. Not me

Better writing than the standard romance novel. This book had good character building and was well written. Sometimes I leave a romance novel thinking, "yeah, right" but this one had a degree of believability.

Good read. Enjoyable book. Really like Mark, he's my favourite character. Rose is alright, but her measurements aren't bad enough for the fuss made over her size IMO. Also, find it hard to believe her level of acceptance with the whole John situation (he's a douche) but whatever.

Well worth a read!. Well what can I say? I've spent the last couple of days in the wonderful company of Rose, Mark, John and Blair and I can honestly say that it has been wonderful. Gretchen's character development of these people is amazing and almost hard to believe that they are entire fiction. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author as her style of writing is both witty and insightful. Highly recommended and greatly enjoyed!

I LOVED THIS BOOK💙💛. It was amazinggg

Loved it. I totally loved this book, I could not put it down. A female character that isn't the usual type! Gives hope to every girl out there for sure

This time next door. Couldn't put it down!

Very enjoyable. Quirky story, would like to know what happens next!

Great book. Great book

Not the usual skinny main character!. Really nice to read a book that doesn't start with a girl who has a great thin / athletic body. Big and confident!

Great read!!. Loved this book, was one that I never wanted to put down.

Amy Lou. Loved this book :) didn't want it to end would be nice if she brought part two out to find out what happen after they got together :) thanks for a lovely read :)

Well worth the read. Omg I loved reading this book... I was so engrossed that I spent a day and night reading ...

This time next door. I really enjoyed this. Light hearted with some steamy love sessions. What more can you ask for?

You will not be let down.... LOVED IT.

Really enjoyed it. I had a break from university and I wanted to read something light, fresh, romantic, contemporary... and that was it. I loved the fact that the main character is far from the stereotypes! Had a wonderful time with this one!

Enjoyed!. Not much of a reader but thoroughly enjoyed this. Didn't take long to get into it and had a good plot. Not a book you have to think about too much, just enjoy the story unfolding. Look forward to reading more from this author!

Enjoyable. I really enjoyed this book. Read it in just over a day, wanted it to continue so I could find out how Mark & Rose got on. Now where do I find myself a Mark?? ;)

Feel good book. Nice easy read, feel good book. Highly recommend :)

Really nice. Easy, light & positive! Enjoyed!

Heartwarming. I really enjoyed this book because it seemed to be about real people rather than beautiful clones.

Wow. There is no word to decide this book it's pure brilliant, still can't believe I cried!!! Give it a read it's well worth it!!!!!!!!!

Loved it all until ... It ended very quickly....after becoming so attached to the characters throughout the book, I wanted to know more and some things were left unexplained

My favourite so far. Loved the book ! Especially how he is different to the characters you usually read about in other books a young, rich, sexy but he is the total opposite :)

Great book!. This was a great read. Loved the way things developed. Would love to read a follow up

Thoroughly enjoyed!. I highly enjoyed reading this book and found myself unable to put it down. Great main characters and loved the whole family!

I don't always review a book, but when I do I give it 5 🌟. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, the storyline and the ending, but would LOVE to a second book devoted to this one, not other members of the family. On a side note, I loved the way Gretchen portrayed Rose as voluptuous, but sexy, confident (mostly) and desired. Given that we are roughly the same size, it really made me feel a lot better about being in my own skin. Something that doesn't happen too often. Usually I read chick-lit as a means of escape into the much more glamorous lives of the beautiful people, but this book made reality feel a bit nicer too. Magic.

Loved it. Loved it.... Nice and easy read - shame about the spelling and grammar...

Boring. Not interesting. Not for me.

Added to the list of faves!. Hot, funny, lovely, I loved it 😊

Haven’t laughed so much in quite awhile.. I attuned to this author and her writing style so much, I laughed in places, till my sides hurt. Very quirky characters who developed throughout the story, I loved them, plus all the subsidiary ones. The quit witted repartee between the main two had me stifling laughter in the wee hours. If you like a little quirkiness to your story and you don’t fit the usual run of the mill that is the normal pigeon hole, either in brains or bodyshape, then this story could be for you....... I thoroughly recommend the read, it’s a delight 👍👍👍

This time next door. I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this book! When you get a book free (from Bookbub) you don’t usually expect a lot; This Time Next Door is the exception. Fun, believable characters, perfect pacing, great sex scenes, and a surprise ending. I finished the book last night and was disappointed when I tried to read today...on my way to buy more of the series.

It's alright. Characters are feeling reality however not liking the ending.... I was thinking more on the twist and exciting end.

Entertaining and Fun!. There is never a dull moment with this book. The characters had me laughing with their exchange, and the male protagonist, Mark, oh I cringed and squealed with laughter at his awkward attempt at conversation in the beginning few chapters. He was delightful! Do pick up this book if you are looking for an escape into a lighthearted, feel good, realistic story. I highly recommend. No, I INSIST you pick up this book!

Funny and engaging. Like that the protagonist is not a typical romance novel waif
