BLURB

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.

But there was one problem.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Declan.

Those feelings we were trying to fake?

Yeah…I wasn’t pretending anymore.

This story was enjoyable, sweet and full of romantic tension. Definitely a slow burn where I was dying for them to make a move. I fell in love with Declan…he was tender, sweet and swept me off my feet. Molly is that spunky, good hearted, strong heroine…the type I love. I teared up a bit due to some angstiness and I love a book with that emotional pull. A heartwarming friends to lovers book with great banter and flirting and an intense connection. Entertaining and fun to read.

Ladies!! This was such a feel good read. The story was fun and light. Characters were charming and witty. Definitely enjoyed it. With this duo you really can’t go wrong that’s for sure! As much as I enjoyed it I was frustrated too. I wanted them to SEEEEEE IT! They both felt it but just couldn’t quite hit the mark at the same time. But that makes for a good story so I felt good about it at the ending. If you are looking for witty fun read this is it!
