5 stars - I loved it!

When Rafe starts his new job as IT manager at Goliaths of Wrestling he quickly discovers that his annoying and terrible neighbor Dan is one of the wrestlers. While he is able to mostly avoid him at work, their relationship quickly changes when he spots Dan through his living room window doing something obscene and weird. After that, everything changes for both of them but will it stay as neighbors with benefits? 

Like the previous books, I was instantly hooked on Rafe and Dan’s story. I was a bit apprehensive after reading that Dan was a terrible neighbor but that didn’t last long once the story started. Dan is a very fun and happy guy. He rarely gets angry or holds onto grudges. He goes through life trying to just have fun and working at Goliaths is perfect for him. Rafe is a homebody who likes things a certain way and can hold a grudge. He has been grumping about Dan since shortly after he moved in over three years ago. While I can understand Rafe being angry about some of Dan’s actions as a neighbor, I also liked that he was finally able to see past those instances and get to know the real Dan. 

Rafe and Dan have a slow building relationship because at first Rafe thinks he is straight. Rafe has to work through realizing he is bisexual and then realizing he has the hots for the neighbor he says he hates. Their relationship starts as a neighbor with benefits but as you can imagine, it doesn’t stay that way. While Rafe starts falling quickly, Dan takes a little while to realize that he wants to be monogamous and be in an official relationship with Rafe. I quite enjoyed seeing Dan come to this realization. 

This book also has some big changes for the Goliaths. They start streaming their shows on a pay-per view system and are raking in the numbers and money. But we also see tension building between some of the wrestlers that has to be resolved with a wrestlers court, which was all very interesting. But the biggest thing was Frank and Beans. These two little creeps have been causing mayhem since they were introduced but they really go all out in this one. We also learn about their past and to be honest, I was not surprised by some of the revelations, but they were hilarious. 

Overall, this was another fantastic Goliaths book that was filled with lots of love and laughter.  I loved Rafe and Dan’s story so much and couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read the next book!
