What a deliciously fun, sweet read! I found myself laughing out loud at times and completely swooning. I really enjoyed the banter between Sabrina and Hunter. She was his surprise roommate and he was hotter than she expected. But she's not looking to date. She was driven and a hard worker. She knew her current situation was temporary and while Hunter wasn't pleasant, she could handle him for a short term. Their story was cute and I loved how Sabrina didn't elaborate what her job was with Hunter. Made for an interesting conversation. LOL I think you'll also get lost in the feels and the pace of this story. Her friend Cat was a trip and she had good friends surrounding her. I couldn't read this book fast enough!
🍭 ABOUT 🍭
Goldilocks has gotten a bit off track. I found her in my room, my bathroom and my bathtub to be precise.
Sabrina Mason is my new roommate. My new unwelcome roommate. Babysitting my Grandma's apartment means Sabrina's here to stay. But we'd agreed my room was off limits.
It’s bad enough my nightmares are getting worse, but having her around makes holding it together a little easier. Her smell, smart mouth and sexy a--anyway. I can’t let her get under my skin although it might be too late. In her sloppy bun and pajamas curled up on the couch, she’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. But a relationship isn’t what I need right now.
It’s hard to remember that when she’s glowering at me when I’m being an ass. We’re forced to live together for only a few more months, I can hold out until I can’t.
She’s in my bathtub and she’s not telling me to leave. So I ask the question, “do you want me to go?”
And I’m shocked as hell when her answer isn’t ‘yes’.
A little bit of steamy standalone grumpy roommate romance bliss. The laughs and feels are all here in this forced proximity, enemies to lovers story featuring the best in found family, a hero standing up for the woman he's falling for and a happily ever after.
🍭 EXCERPT 🍭
He set his blazer down on the counter and slipped off his cuff links. “You don’t need to hop out.”
Goose bumps rose on my whole body, tightening my flesh even in the warm bath. “I don’t?”
“Only if you want to.” He stared at me, and there was a flicker in his eyes like he’d made a decision.
My stomach flipped, straight into a back handspring. “I don’t?”
The corner of his lips lifted. “Was that a question?” He rolled his sleeve from the cuff, folding the pressed white fabric higher up his arm, exposing the tanned and sinewy forearms. Veins, tendons, muscle.
“No. I just got in, but I wasn’t expecting an audience.” Had the heat kicked on? Because my skin not submerged in the water didn’t feel the slightest bit chilled. It felt closer to super-heated as his gaze swept over me.
“You’re driving me absolutely crazy.”
Standing beside the tub, towering over me, he could see my body beneath the water.
A shiver skated along my skin.
“In a good way?” My body was on high alert, vibrating in a wanton way where the water teased and taunted body parts like I wanted his fingers to.
“In the worst way.” He finished with his second sleeve, never taking his eyes off me. Eyes blazing with a carnal passion that sent shock waves through me. “Do you want me to leave?”
