Across the Hall seemed to have elements that I like in a romance. You know, rich bad boy, little sister of best friend and sparks that can't be ignored. I really wanted to like this more than I did. Don't get me wrong, there were things that I did enjoy about the book. I really liked Jude and Jillian. They were interesting characters and I thought their chemistry came across as real and definitely steamy! Their romance was a bit fast for my taste, but I liked their HEA. I also thought the little twist in the end was unexpected.
As I was reading the story though, some things kept nagging at me. I didn't get how Jude and Eric were supposedly blood brothers and best friends from college, yet Jude had never met Jillian before. Also, they live across the hall from each other, but they never hung out and Eric never introduced them? That was just strange to me. I also didn't understand why Eric never told his sister about his supposed best friend's incarceration. I can't really imagine that would ever happen especially if they were close siblings. Also, why didn't Jude tell Jillian where he worked?
But, those are my hangups and shouldn't necessarily mean the story isn't worth giving a try. It's a quick read, so make sure to check it out and give it a shot.
