Just when Lori has decided to ask Parker out on a date, she sees him dancing in his living room with a beautiful woman ­ who certainly isn't Lori. Now that Lori believes he is seeing another woman, she begins to avoid interacting with him. Since they are both recovering from previous relationships, misunderstandings occur for both of them. Will they be able to overcome them and act on their attractions?

Lust Thy Neighbor is an interesting novella. The sex scenes are well done and captured my interest. I found Parker's sensitive personality very winning and fed into a lot of the things I like in a man, despite my typical fondness for alphas.

However, when I had finished reading the story, I felt like I was missing something. I realized that I never really felt like I knew the hero and heroine. At the end of the story, I didn't even know their last names. I also felt a little cheated by the ending. I felt like we left Lori and Parker before much of anything was resolved, especially emotionally. There didn't feel to be a true conclusion.

I would read more stories by this author, even though Lust Thy Neighbor didn't fully satisfy.
