Publisher's Summary
A Seismic Attraction Enemies to lovers tale with an earth-shaking twist.
International pop star RJ Contreras finds himself at a crossroads when his mega famous boy band, AnyDayNow, breaks up. After his solo career fails to take off, RJ retreats to a no-frills apartment where he can hide out from the world and lick his festering wounds. But when Dani, the girl next door, starts slipping 'good neighbor' contracts under his door and complaining about his behavior through strategically placed Post-it-Notes, RJ snaps out of his self-absorbed melancholy to wage war. In the middle of one of their epic battles, Mother Nature takes her swing and plunges both RJ and Dani into the rubble of a 7.1 earthquake. With their lives hanging in the balance, these former enemies must join forces to survive inside an apartment building only standing on its last few legs. But nothing is certain in an upside-down world where the sacrifices are gut-wrenching and where even the power of first love might not be enough to save them.
“Dani was the only thing in my life that made my pulse racethe way it had when I was on stage. I needed her anger like I needed my life back.”– RJ Contreras

Another extraordinary experience.
I should have known that I could expect the unexpected from this author, but once again, I've been taken by surprise by the rollercoaster of this book. My first experience of Bengtsson was the first of her Cake series, which I had expected to be a light and fluffy rockstar romance, and found instead an emotionally challenging, 3 course meal of satisfying and addictive saga. " Ripple Effect" is the second of a spin-off series from that initial book series. The first of the Any Day Now series is "Like the Wind". "Ripple Effect could be read as a standalone, but my suggestion is that if you have found this book first, then go back and give yourself the benefit of enjoying "Like the Wind" and then every single other one of Bengtsson's books.
This book starts off with the familiar comfort of a well established trope - warring neighbours who obviously have very mixed feelings about each other. Dani and 'Chad' leave each other hostile notes and take up entirely too much mental real estate for each other, and everyone knows what THAT leads to, right? Wrong. What happens in this book comes entirely out of left field and I was entirely shaken, absorbed and on the edge of my seat, forcing myself to not read ahead. "Its a romance," I told myself. "Romances guarantee a HEA!" I told myself. But Bengtsson writes so well that I was thoroughly invested in the characters' situation, and this set up the tension I usually reserve for thrillers and murder mysteries (where I unashamedly do read ahead).
I loved this book and will read it again as I can now do so with less anxious anticipation for characters' welfare, and this will give me a chance to more fully appreciate the delightful quirkiness of the ancillary characters that contribute to the joy of Bengtsson's books.
