About this ebook

The girl next door is the one that got away. He just doesn’t know it yet. . . .

“Touching and seductive . . . a perfect blend of romantic sexiness and sweet sentimentality.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Sawyer: After my wife died, I promised myself I’d never go through the pain of losing someone again. Now I keep my flings neat, tidy, and one-time-only. Besides, my son needs me more than ever. He’s miserable in our new town, so I’m pumped when he makes friends with the kid next door—until I recognize his mom from a one-night stand. Perky and upbeat, Elle Dunning is not my type for anything other than tearing up the sheets. So why do I keep letting myself get roped into game nights and get-togethers?

Elle: It so hasn’t been my year. That’s my first thought when I see my new next-door neighbor. I never would have hooked up with Sawyer Paulson if my husband hadn’t left me for his high-school sweetheart, but because our eight-year-old boys have become best friends, I’ve got to make nice with Mr. Tall, Dark, and Silent. Yet the more time we spend together, the more Sawyer opens up. We’ve both been hurt—badly. So it’s one thing to send the kids off to sleepaway camp together. It’s quite another to promise each other a lifetime of sleepovers. . . .

Sleepover is a standalone novel with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a satisfying happily ever after. This ebook includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed this book. I really loved the characters. What happens when a one night stand moves next door? Things are a little awkward between Sawyer and Elle because as much as they deny it the flare of attraction still burns between them. They have a ton of chemistry that burns up the pages. One of my favorite parts of the book is how fast of friends Elle and Sawyer's boys become. That filled my heart right up. This book also had me laughing a lot while reading it. This book had the heart, heat, and humor I love in a romance. It's a great book with two characters who are trying their new normal and if willing to risk their hearts on love.

This book is sooooooo good!! I'm loving these interconnected books that Serena Bell is writing. The characters are fantastic and I'm definitely invested in all of them getting their HEA. I loved the concept of this book. Sexy single-dad widower. Divorced single-mom who was really burned by her ex. The one-night stand who ends up being your next door neighbor and your son's BFF. This book was funny, heartwarming, and had a decent amount of angst. Once I started I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see which character gets their story next!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

Sweet, sexy, witty, emotional - just plain good! Sleepover is a second chance romance in the sense that it is a second chance for both Sawyer and Elle. It also has elements of a fake romance, but most of all, it's just a really good story about two people figuring things out. It is an emotional read, especially with Sawyer still grieving his wife, but it's tempered with well-timed moments of levity to keep things from getting too heavy. This one isn't my first read by Serena Bell, but it is certainly my favorite. It's full of likable and interesting characters, witty dialogue - both the kind between characters and inner dialogue as Sawyer and Elle work out their feelings - two boys who have no problem calling it as they see it, friendship, family, and a romance that is both wonderfully sweet and oh, so sexy.
