About The Book: Heather adores her flighty sister's boyfriend, Mark. He's Mr. Right, and her sister is about to let him go. He's a catch, and Heather's only chance is to play out her sister's insane and wicked plan to switch in the dark. If she fails, she'll lose him to the throng of girls waiting in the wings. It's a winner takes all arena and seduction is the game.

The Review: It’s clear that Theresa is the fun loving adventurous sister, while Heather is the ambitious and quiet one. That’s not to say that Heather is a total bore, but perhaps a little more mature than her older sister. Theresa is interested in playing the field, while Heather sought stability in her next relationship. When it comes to Mark, Theresa’s current boyfriend, the sisters whole-heartedly agree the man is hot, but Theresa is looking for a little more excitement. Instead of letting a good man get away, Theresa devises a plan that has Heather all tied up in knots. Can she throw caution and inhibition aside or will she let a possible chance at happiness get away?

Sisters can sometimes be the little devil on your shoulder that tips the balance of what you believe is right or wrong. I would know since I have several, so Theresa’s character comes across very familiar to me. The author does a fantastic job of giving each of the characters a voice that’s clear and relatable. The plot might not be completely relatable, but that doesn’t detract from the intense eroticism or sweet undertones in the story. Overall a very enjoyable short read!

About The Book:

The Review: The Grass Is Always Greener is a very quick read but very sweet with the promise of love and hope laced within the hot sex. I liked the premise of this book, the guy next door is hot and widowed. The woman who thinks he's hot is divorced, yet she doesn't know how much time is enough time for a man who has lost his wife.

This is a story about sucking up fear and going for what you want, while hoping things go the way you want. The only thing I disliked was the length and feel this story could have been full length with more drama, quirk and sex. But after reading about these neighbors, I couldn't help but wonder what the rest of the neighborhood is doing—don't leave me hanging Ms. Chase!
