This is not bad but I expected more! I wanted to read something funnier, sexier and more enjoyable!I love any story-line about two strangers: having totally opposite character traits, sharing a same house, forced to spend more time together, slowly leaving their comfort zones and something dazzlingly hot, sexy starts to build around them: yes, my friends: an incredible, fiery, passionate chemistry.As soon as I read this book’s blurb, I screamed: “Yes” till my vocal cords hurt! ( I even forgot I
2.5 Stars. I seem to be in the minority for this one, but boy did this book not work for me. First, I really couldn't connect with anything about this book. I listened to this on audio and was bored throughout the entire thing. I was never excited to pick the book back up and found myself listening to it more just so that I could finish and move on to something I cared about. The main problem? Clara. She was such a flat character and I did not care for her one bit. Her biggest "flaws" were that
3.5 stars The Roommate is Rosie Danan’s debut novel and once I saw the cover and read the blurb, I knew I had to read it. I love those forced proximity books and the fact that the roommates were strangers, gimmie! Clara Wheaton is a socialite that just finished grad school. She’s decided to move cross country (totally not like her) for a man. One of her best friends, Everett, who she’s had it bad for for the longest time. As soon as she gets there she realized this was a huge mistake. Everet...
This book was extremely hot. Also, it was my favorite romance of 2020. This came as a huge surprise. I don't usually rate romances 5 stars, because it's very hard to surprise me, since I've read so many books of this genre. However, this one was extremely refreshing and well written.It all starts with Clara, a girl with very conservative upbringing, moving to LA to live with her lifetime crush, only to be dumped and find out that she's actually having a porn star, Josh Darling, as her actual ro
Hello [one star rating] my old friend...I've come to [rant about you] again...Also, hello soulless beings who are most likely to read my reviews when they are filled with hate and vitriol. How are you? It's been a while, since this year I've been trying weird things like "reading books I think I'll actually like" and "not being motivated by cruelty" and dumb cheesy stuff like that.We're all back where we belong.My reading this was a mistake.I am forever trying to find more comfort books (as I am...
4.5 starsThis book was so surprisingly good. I adore Josh and Clara together sooooo hard. And this is one of the steamiest romances I’ve read in a while because Josh is a porn star, and Clara ends up being roommates with him. And this has some of my favorite tropes like forced togetherness because of the whole roommate thing, and it felt pretty forbidden at times because of the whole ‘he’s a porn star’ thing. But I loved this book so much, these two characters had so much chemistry it was ridicu...
not me finally reading this book.. who is she? she’s grown! I liked it a lot tho 🥹 it was so funny, and it felt fresh???? idk if that makes sense but it felt NEW, it didn’t seem like a book i’ve seen before. u know? I loved the sex positivity, and the whole idea of destroying the stigma from the inside.. ✨ genius ✨ I really loved the topics, the couple and the plot. Naomi was lowkey my fav tho 🤺 “I think he might be the best mistake I ever made.”
I really liked this book and it has my favorite set up, the roommate trope!! we follow our uptight, east coast socialite, clara, as she becomes unlikely roommates with josh, a laid back LA porn star with more charisma than clara knows what to do with. The opposites attract vibe of the story was really fun and I think the character's personalities complimented each other very well and the dialogue in this story was hilarious. This story also had so many heartwarming, cute moments of domesticity a...
Caution: Rated R for adult content and 🔥🔥🔥This is a quick read about roommates turned more. 😍 It’s definitely a steamy read, so if you’re a prude about sex scenes, you’ll wanna skip this one. I loved the chemistry between these two characters. ❤️ There were some laugh out loud moments too. 😂 Enjoyable read.
⚠️⚠️Excessive heat warning 🌡🌡 in effect for entire length of this book! ⚠️⚠️Sometimes I pick up these rom-coms so innocently. Perhaps naïve assuming they will be a fun, sweet read with a dash of romance to make me go..."awww”.And occasionally I come away with a hot🔥 and spicy number that knocks my socks off. As you can guess this was one of those times! Clara comes from a family with status and wealth. Raised in Connecticut she has always toed the family line. Never straying out of bounds. Until...

I did rate this a week or so ago, but it has disappeared.. 🙄🤔Rtc
Sweet, sexy, sizzling, swoonie, sassy, and so much fun! Rosie Danan has written a clever and entertaining opposites attract romcom. Clara comes from a conservative proper East Coast family and has just moved to LA to force things with her lifetime crush Everett. BUT Everett is off touring with his subpar band and now Clara finds herself living with a complete stranger. Josh is the darling of the adult entertainment industry and does not quite know what to think of uptight Clara. What follows is
*****4.5 STARS*****{Netgalley Arc}This was summer vacation from real life, but sooner or later, summer would end. She’d have to face her family, would have to choose between the life she’d been groomed for and the one that hung at the edge of the horizon, outrageously tempting, but with a price tag of all she held dear.It’s been a long time since I’ve requested to review a book of an author who is new to me and the literary world. “The Roommate” took me by surprise. It starts off a little slow i...
“...and they were roommates! oh my god, they were roommates…”i don’t want to say i went into this book with low expectations, but i will tell you that on my long list of possible romances to try it was...nowhere near the top. general fate and library availability were the primary forces working behind my choice to pick up The Roommate after a slew of literary disappointment. so, you can imagine my surprise and excitement when i tell you it did a LOT for me.firstly, let’s just get this out of th...
Omg, y'all. This book has the premise of my dreams and it was SO. MUCH. FUN. It centers around the romance between an uptight, shy girl named Clara and her porn-star roommate Josh and if that interests you at all I DEFINITELY recommend checking this one out. It was sassy and sexy and just an all around good-time lol. However, with all that being said, I do think I may have gone into this one with my hopes just a liiiiiiiittle bit too high. I did still REALLY enjoy it and a 4 star rating is obvio...
This book was everything I was hoping it would be.I went in with no expectations and was surprised by how much fun I had. It was addictive, funny, sexy, and sweet. I loved the characters, I love the discussions of sex work and the porn industry, and I just loved this book.(Thank you so much to Penguin Random House for sending me this book!)
2020 Ripped Bodice Summer Bingo: Apple Orchard Content Notes: (view spoiler)[on-page car accident (no casualties or major injuries); anxiety/panic over driving; discussion of leaked nude photos in the past (secondary character) (hide spoiler)] The faded wallpaper exuded kitschy charm, fighting for her affection, but she couldn’t shake the crushing weight of her disappointment. Clara wiped off the seat of the sofa before sitting down. “So this is how it feels to be well and truly fucked.” “I
This was HOOTTTT. And so much fun!! I pretty much was giggling through this entire read. Josh is an absolute sweetheart of a hero, if incredibly horny (I mean, he IS a porn star) and Clara is adorably awkward. I love the roommates trope but throw in the great sex/sex worker positivity and this made for a fantastic, entertaining read. I’m so impressed with this debut! If you love eager to please heroes who will do anything to give the heroine the best orgasms of her life, you have to read The Roo...
4.5 starsI inhaled this book in one sitting after spending weeks slumping, if that tells you anything.
