Summary
My next-door neighbor， Ryan Rosche， is pretty much the perfect guy。
He’s a freaking doctor， for one。
Humble…
Mature （Did I mention he’s eleven years older than me？） …
And flat-out gorgeous。
If only he wasn’t also … my boss。
Look， if I wasn’t the nanny to his nieces， I’d be all。 over。 that。
But I’m in the middle of a personal crisis of sorts—a recent move， a public breakup， a foiled career—not to mention beholden to a successful CEO grandmother who is withholding my trust fund until I can become “respectable” in a way my mother never was。
Falling for my boss—blurring those lines—is just the sort of thing my mother would have done。
And I refuse to be anything like Pippa Montgomery。
Besides， even if it was respectable to date my boss， a hot mess like me could never hope to land this guy whose life is 100% together。
Someone like him could never want someone like me。 Not long term， anyway。 And I’m tired of being discarded。
But when I move into Ryan’s house to make my job easier， and ignite the chemistry of late-night reality TV watching， meal sharing， and helping him raise his nieces， how am I supposed to resist the good doctor’s charms？
It seems inevitable。 This man is just a heartbreak waiting to happen…
Fans of Jenny Proctor and Emma St。 Clair will love this closed-door， age gap， forced proximity， boss/nanny romantic comedy with lots of sizzle and spice， but no on-page explicit content。 It follows Kennedy Matkin， Alexis Matkin's younger sister。

I really enjoyed this book。 It's the first one I have ready by this author， and won't be my last！ Kennedy moved in with her sister Alexis after a nasty breakup， and Alexis just happens to live next door to Ryan， a hot doc whose nieces are living with him temporarily。 After a meet cute with Ryan， Kennedy actually ends up becoming a nanny to the girls， but all the while she and Ryan are developing feelings for each other。 I really enjoyed the characters in the book， and hope we get to read more ab I really enjoyed this book。 It's the first one I have ready by this author， and won't be my last！ Kennedy moved in with her sister Alexis after a nasty breakup， and Alexis just happens to live next door to Ryan， a hot doc whose nieces are living with him temporarily。 After a meet cute with Ryan， Kennedy actually ends up becoming a nanny to the girls， but all the while she and Ryan are developing feelings for each other。 I really enjoyed the characters in the book， and hope we get to read more about them in another book。 。。。more

Ahhhh Dr。 Ryan and Kennedy were the perfect couple。 The tension。 The swoon。 Kristin keeps her books fun and funny while also digging into some deep difficult issues。 Dr。 Ryan is temporarily in charge of his two nieces。 He hires Kennedy to be his nanny。 The spark between them is palpable instantly。 She can’t date her boss…or can she？ I highly recommend this whole series。 Every perfect was magical！ Quick， easy， fun reads！

Kristin has a way with her writing that makes me feel like I’m in the novel with the characters and I love that！ This was a great close to this awesome series and I’ll definitely be rereading it！ You can read this as a stand alone but you miss out on knowing all the awesome ladies of this found family。 Ryan and Kennedy’s love story is sooo sweet and the chemistry is off the charts！ It has a mix of some of my favorite tropes and I felt for Kennedy so much。 While she is loved and accepted by her s Kristin has a way with her writing that makes me feel like I’m in the novel with the characters and I love that！ This was a great close to this awesome series and I’ll definitely be rereading it！ You can read this as a stand alone but you miss out on knowing all the awesome ladies of this found family。 Ryan and Kennedy’s love story is sooo sweet and the chemistry is off the charts！ It has a mix of some of my favorite tropes and I felt for Kennedy so much。 While she is loved and accepted by her sister and her friends， she still feels as though that she will never find her person。 Both Ryan and Kennedy have been hurt and despite the age gap， there are other issues that they have to work through if they want to be together。I love that this was a single pov。 But there is a bonus scene with Ryan’s pov！ Trust me you won’t be disappointed with this book or the entire series！ 。。。more

Want a clean and super sweet rom-com to curl up with？！ This is it！ Ryan was a perfect book boyfriend-One that I definitely wanted to hug and shake throughout the book！ Kennedy was a great female MC; I loved her journey （and really loved the side character Chloe and their relationship！） The storyline was well written; there was a good backstory for each of the MCs， so you were able to really get to know them and see how they grew over the pages！ Mila and Ava were wonderful additions to the story… Want a clean and super sweet rom-com to curl up with？！ This is it！ Ryan was a perfect book boyfriend-One that I definitely wanted to hug and shake throughout the book！ Kennedy was a great female MC; I loved her journey （and really loved the side character Chloe and their relationship！） The storyline was well written; there was a good backstory for each of the MCs， so you were able to really get to know them and see how they grew over the pages！ Mila and Ava were wonderful additions to the story…I would love to see more in Ava’s head！ Ha！ The only wish I have is that it was written in dual POV; I loved the bonus scene seeing a key （funny！） event through Ryan’s eyes！ Chloe’s book is next， so I am counting down the days to see her story come to life！ This is a definite most not miss book！ You’ll smile， laugh， and will anxiously wait to see the journey to the HEA！ I received a free review copy of this book from the author。 I was not required to leave a positive review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I loved Kennedy and Ryan。 They both had things to work through。 Kennedy had to get out from under the notion of being like her mother。 She had to trust the decisions she made and prove to everyone that she would be okay。 Ryan had to accept that it was possible to have someone stick around for the long haul no matter the circumstances。The close proximity just sweetened things all the more 😍 the bathroom incident 🤭， Kennedy taking care of him when he was sick 🥰 watching The Bachelor together， goin I loved Kennedy and Ryan。 They both had things to work through。 Kennedy had to get out from under the notion of being like her mother。 She had to trust the decisions she made and prove to everyone that she would be okay。 Ryan had to accept that it was possible to have someone stick around for the long haul no matter the circumstances。The close proximity just sweetened things all the more 😍 the bathroom incident 🤭， Kennedy taking care of him when he was sick 🥰 watching The Bachelor together， going out for trail rides， absolutely amazing。The epilogue was just beautiful。 I'll definitely miss this group of friends。 Can't wait for the next series！💃🏾Thank you so much to the author for an ARC。 。。。more

Needing the Next-Door Neighbor is the sixth and final book in the California Dreamin’ series。 This is a sweet age-gap romance and while there are some kissing scenes， there is nothing open-door or spicy。 The book can be read as a stand-alone but I would highly recommend reading the rest of the series first especially as this is the last book in the series。 Many of the characters from previous books do make small appearances throughout this book。 Readers first got to see Kennedy at the end of her Needing the Next-Door Neighbor is the sixth and final book in the California Dreamin’ series。 This is a sweet age-gap romance and while there are some kissing scenes， there is nothing open-door or spicy。 The book can be read as a stand-alone but I would highly recommend reading the rest of the series first especially as this is the last book in the series。 Many of the characters from previous books do make small appearances throughout this book。 Readers first got to see Kennedy at the end of her sister’s book， Engaging the Office Enemy。 It was well worth the wait to find out more about Kennedy and the hot neighbor， Ryan。 I like the way the author sprinkles the characters’ background information throughout the storyline rather than dumping it all at the beginning of the book。 I like being able to learn about a MC at the same time the other characters are。 It gives a more realistic pace to the MCs relationship。 Ryan is definitely my favorite MMC of the series although it is a tough call。 Content/Trigger Warnings: Cancer/remission from illness， parent/family member with addiction issues， unsupportive family membersI’m sad to see that this series is coming to an end but what a great way to finish it out。 The author ties up most of the loose ends and leads into a new series that will be starting out later this year。 I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

What an absolutely adorable book。 I couldn't put it down once I started reading the sweet story between Kennedy and Ryan。 They were good people who I couldn't help but root for。 Kristin Canary did such a fabulous job writing。 It made me want to charish those I love the most even a little more and show them more love everyday ！ I received a free review copy of this book from the author。 I was not required to leave a positive review。 All opinions are my own。 What an absolutely adorable book。 I couldn't put it down once I started reading the sweet story between Kennedy and Ryan。 They were good people who I couldn't help but root for。 Kristin Canary did such a fabulous job writing。 It made me want to charish those I love the most even a little more and show them more love everyday ！ I received a free review copy of this book from the author。 I was not required to leave a positive review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This was a quick， cute read， the final installment in the California Dreamin' series。 I had not read the previous books， and while this could be read as a standalone， there are several background characters and situations that were referenced whose stories were explained in the previous books that I didn't quite understand how they fit into this story。 It didn't greatly impact my ability to enjoy this one， but as always， I recommend reading a series in order when you have the opportunity to do s This was a quick， cute read， the final installment in the California Dreamin' series。 I had not read the previous books， and while this could be read as a standalone， there are several background characters and situations that were referenced whose stories were explained in the previous books that I didn't quite understand how they fit into this story。 It didn't greatly impact my ability to enjoy this one， but as always， I recommend reading a series in order when you have the opportunity to do so。 This one is the story of Kennedy， a former influencer who is down on her luck after a breakup， who moves in temporarily with her much older half sister and her numerous roommates。 There she meets their neighbor， the handsome older Dr。 Ryan Rosche。 Kennedy is 23 and Ryan is 34， so there is an age gap going on here。 Ryan is the temporary custodian of his nieces while his alcoholic sister is jailed for a DUI， and with his odd schedule cannot hold on to a nanny。 Kennedy， with not enough hours being scheduled at her barista gig to make ends meet， steps up to the plate and offers her services as live in nanny， so she no longer has to share a room with her sister in an already crowded house。 Kennedy soon comes to love the girls as her own， and Ryan as well， after many a night watching reruns of The Bachelor on the living room couch together。 Ryan， for his part， is a solidly good guy （although I always slightly mistrust the older men in age gap romances）， who runs himself ragged trying to care for both his patients and his family。 Some serious topics such as deaths of parents， both sudden and due to illness， cancer， alcoholism， and miscarriage/infertility were touched upon， as part of character backstories， but it didn't take away from the overall lightness of the story。 Overall this was a sweet read and I was invested enough to want to read the previous books in the series when time allows。💕 Thank you so much to Kristin Canary for sending me a copy of Needing the Next Door Neighbor to review！ 。。。more

I enjoyed this book。 This has been a really fun series and I loved seeing all the previous characters as secondary players in this story。 What a great group of friends！ It was sweet seeing Kennedy integrated into the circle。 After Alexis’ story， Kennedy definitely needed one of her own。 This is best read after reading the series in order， but it’s a good story on its own too。 Kennedy is a wonderful character: young， but working her way to move past her mistakes and past traumas to find herself a I enjoyed this book。 This has been a really fun series and I loved seeing all the previous characters as secondary players in this story。 What a great group of friends！ It was sweet seeing Kennedy integrated into the circle。 After Alexis’ story， Kennedy definitely needed one of her own。 This is best read after reading the series in order， but it’s a good story on its own too。 Kennedy is a wonderful character: young， but working her way to move past her mistakes and past traumas to find herself and what she who she wants to be。 She demonstrates over and over how caring she is。 Something she has in common with Ryan， who twists himself into a pretzel trying to take care of people。 He’s the kind of guy everyone needs in their life。 Ryan’s nieces were sweet and sassy and he was so dedicated to them （which is pretty darn attractive）， but he needed help， and Kennedy was perfect for that。 And for Ryan， as it turns out。 Ryan had his own history of hurt that left him vulnerable too。 Their attraction was clear from the get-go， and the author wrote a great build-up of romantic and physical tension。 The story stayed clean and there was no harsh language。 Of course the couple faced various inevitable road bumps， and I appreciated that there was acknowledgment of the age difference and some hesitancy because of it， but also that it didn’t become too big of issue。 （Sometimes age-gaps get over-emphasized， IMO。） There were also bigger bumps on the road which threatened the burgeoning relationship。 The epilogue was a bittersweet ending to the series， but it was lovely to have the closure。 Read the whole series。 You’ll be glad you did！ 。。。more

“You know those movies where a character is so pathetically bad at cooking and she catches pancakes on fire and the smoke alarm goes off and the dog starts barking at the ceiling and the hot man that she was trying to cook for runs out of his room with his shirt off because， well， he thinks his house is on fire and was likely asleep just a few moments before？ I am that character。 This is that movie。”The above quote is just a taste of how fun this book was to read。 The antics between Ryan and Ken “You know those movies where a character is so pathetically bad at cooking and she catches pancakes on fire and the smoke alarm goes off and the dog starts barking at the ceiling and the hot man that she was trying to cook for runs out of his room with his shirt off because， well， he thinks his house is on fire and was likely asleep just a few moments before？ I am that character。 This is that movie。”The above quote is just a taste of how fun this book was to read。 The antics between Ryan and Kennedy were so fun and had me laughing。 I’ve always felt like an Age Gap romance would be really weird， but this one really leaned into the age gap and didn’t make it awkward at all。 The characters embraced their age differences and still created a successful relationship。 Content considerations:Ryan and Kennedy share a bed before they even begin dating。 No sex happens， but that scene was a bit out of my comfort level。 A four star read for me！Thank you to the author for the ARC。 All opinions are my own and I was not required to post a review。 。。。more

“It’s crazy， how I can feel like his very voice is cradling me， holding me safely。 Giving me room to speak my fears， but also reminding me that he’s there。”Kristin Canary has made it to my list of all time favorite rom com authors。 She creates such wonderful and real characters！ Needing the Next Door Neighbor is like drinking of glass of cold southern ice tea。 It’s bright and refreshing！ I was super excited to read Kennedy’s story after meeting in Engaging The Office Enemy。 She’s such a delight， “It’s crazy， how I can feel like his very voice is cradling me， holding me safely。 Giving me room to speak my fears， but also reminding me that he’s there。”Kristin Canary has made it to my list of all time favorite rom com authors。 She creates such wonderful and real characters！ Needing the Next Door Neighbor is like drinking of glass of cold southern ice tea。 It’s bright and refreshing！ I was super excited to read Kennedy’s story after meeting in Engaging The Office Enemy。 She’s such a delight， I loved her warm and cheerful personality。 She isn’t afraid to love people right through the dark times and is way stronger than she thinks she is。 The way she works so hard with Mila and never gives up on Ava was wonderful。 And I love seeing her and Alexis and their sisterly bond was so sweet。 And Dr Ryan is a great hero of the story！ I love his devotion to his nieces， and really anyone who is in his circle of care。 And I love the backstory too， and how he’s overcome so much。 The reality of that was beautifully done。 But Ryan and Kennedy together was the absolute best！ I love how they brought out the best in each other and pushed and supported one another。 They were truly a team and I just want to read more and more of them！ A fantastic end to a fantastic series！ 。。。more
