I have read my fair share of roommate romances. I can say that Declan may be one of my favorites in the long line of roommates that I think I could fall in love with.
I enjoyed the friendship between Declan and Molly was instant. I think Declan was just too hard to resist. They go into roommate-hood as friends and see that their friendship could possibly help each of them to make the people they are interested in – a bit jealous.
Yes – you know what’s gonna happen. It’s a slow burn romance. There is more the Declan than meets the eye. Molly is a bit easy to read.
Like I said – loved Declan but my connection to Molly just wasn’t there. I wasn’t invested in her story as much as I was with Declan. Absolutely not enough to recommend this book to others who love a good roommate romance or slow-burn romance. Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward always give you a book that you will enjoy!

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds.
I was starting to lose hope.
Until a knock at my door came and God answered my prayers.
Except…uh…wrong prayer, God.
I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion…just not as my roommate.
Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway.
While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined.
Then cupcakes showed up at my door—freshly baked by Declan and just as sinfully delicious as he was.
You could say he was persistent.
I eventually folded. It wasn’t like I had another viable candidate anyway.
Plus, I was interested in someone else. And Declan was into another woman. So it wasn’t like anything would happen romantically.
After he moved in, the two of us became the best of friends. We even started to give each other advice on getting our crushes to notice us.
Eventually, Declan concocted an idea: we should pretend to be a couple to make our love interests jealous.
I was hesitant, but went along with it anyway. To my utter shock, his crazy plan worked.
Now I was dating the supposed man of my dreams, and my best friend had the woman of his.
