{Review} It's Complicated by Missy Johnson

Title: It's Complicated
Author: Missy Johnson
Release Date: December 13, 2017
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance

They call him the Anaconda, and I'm pretty sure it isn’t because he likes snakes.

Nick Jenson is my neighbor. My hot, oh-so-sexy, very-well-equipped neighbor that I’d spend hours watching from the safety of my bedroom window.

I saw lots of things I probably shouldn’t have. Sometimes I’d touch myself, imagining it were his hands roaming over my body instead of my own. I had just one mission—to find out if the rumors were true.

Then one day, he caught me watching him.

I was mortified. I was prepared to quit college, move to another country, and live the rest of my life saying, “Nick who?” But, apparently, life had other ideas.

Because Nick? Well, he isn’t just my neighbor… He’s also my father’s best friend. If I thought things were difficult before, they were about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Oh, and those rumors? Holy fuck, were they true…

What we liked

♥ Even with the old tired dad's best friend trope, it was more laid back/less restrained than other reads that follow a similar trope, which made it more fun

♥ The Hero has a huge... Anaconda ;-) *instert eggplant emoji*

♥ It's brimming with subtle and inteded sexual innuendos and double entreders

♥ The Hero and heroine shares more in common than just sex - both share a passion in architecture as well

♥ Nick's smart, observant and funny kiddos

What we didn't

• Um, subtle homophobic comment, much? (Loc 508)
• The Hero's kids are ages 10 and 8, why are you reading them bed time stories?
• Not enough epilogue

The guys

Nick // His huge... "anaconda" has earned quite the reputation with some ladies around town. But overall, he's a charming guy with a great work ethic, and a devoted dad to boot.

Dan // Anna's dad and Nick's best friend, and also next door neighbor. Although a couple of years older than Nick, he seemed a bit immature than Nick.

Max // Nick's son. He's 10 years old, but smarter and more observant than you might expect.

The gals

Anna // Our heroine who tamed Nick's huge... you get the idea.

Kayla // Anna's BFF and #1 cheerleader of the Anna/Nick ship. She's foreward and blunt without shame, but she's an amazing friend with a great personality and a filthy mind/mouth. We kind of want her to have a book of her own.

Milly // Nick's daughter. We like how chill she was, even for an 8 year old.

Mandy // Anna's dads girlfriend. She didn't have much of a presence, but she has a good judge of character. Hopefully she can reign in and tame Dan.

Lust factor
