Synopsis – Finding Mr. Right Next Door by Sarah Ballance
For Lexi Dean, burning down her kitchen was disaster enough. Agreeing to move in next door with her totally off-limits best friend, Matt Freeman, until her house is livable again?
Utter madness.
They’ve always been close, but this is ridiculous. If she’s not bumping into him at the refrigerator, he’s at the front door giving her date the third degree. And slipping between his borrowed sheets? That’s about as distracting as listening to his shower run, because suddenly all she can think about is rivulets of water cascading down is spectacular body—the one he seems to be going out of his way to make sure she notices.
Not that it matters. He can flaunt his firefighter abs around her all he wants. They already share everything—their jobs, their friends, their backyard, even their dog—and that means only one thing: Lexi is not going to risk losing any of it by dipping a single toe in the temptation that is Matt Freeman.
Lexi may not know how to handle a fire extinguisher, but this is one fire that just might burn them both if they’re not careful…
Review
This story evolves around firefighters so get ready because it’s about to get hot in here…
Saying that Lexi isn’t a great cook is an understatement. She burned down her kitchen when she tries to bake a pie. Fortunately for her, Matt, neighbor, best friend, co-worker, and firefighter (Yes, he is all that!), arrives in time to get her away from the immediate danger.
Unable to return to her apartment, Matt offers her to stay at his place. After all, they’re best friends, work at the same place, share a dog, and love each other’s family. What could go wrong? Well, Lexi wants more than friendship in her life and Matt is against ties… but as she starts dating, her new roommate might decide it’s time for a new arrangement.
I had high expectations for this book when I started reading it, and let me say this: IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. This book was everything I didn’t know I wanted. The two characters aren’t perfect and they know it. The group they work with are entertaining. I adored the banter, the humor, and the teasing, and damn, this was a sexy read.
The author made me swoon and laugh out loud. The temperature in the room climbed a few times. This rom com is definitely a perfect feel good book. I highly recommend this one.

About the author: Sarah Ballance
Sarah and her husband of what he calls “many long, long years” live on the mid-Atlantic coast with their six young children, all of whom are perfectly adorable when they’re asleep.
She never dreamed of becoming an author, but as a homeschooling mom, she often jokes she writes fiction because if she wants anyone to listen to her, she has to make them up. (As it turns out, her characters aren’t much better than the kids). When not buried under piles of laundry, she may be found adrift in the Atlantic (preferably on a boat) or seeking that ever-elusive perfect writing spot where not even the kids can find her.
She loves creating unforgettable stories while putting her characters through an unkind amount of torture—a hobby that has nothing to do with living with six children. (Really.) Though she adores nail-biting mystery and edge-of-your-seat thrillers, Sarah writes in many genres including contemporary and ghostly paranormal romance. Her ever-growing roster of releases may be found on her website.
