Review: Love Thy Neighbor by Teagan Hunter (Roommate Romps #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing Solutions.

"Just don't overthink it," I tell her. 
"We have to overthink it. We're best friends." 
I pull back, looking at her. 
She looks so fucking hot, her hair a mess from my hands. Lips swollen from my kisses. Eyes full of lust from my touch."Then let's not be best friends anymore. Let's just be us."

This book!!! GAH!!! I am hopeless when it comes to Teagan Hunter's stories. And by "hopeless", I mean hopelessly devoted to her writing. I swear, she never fails to make my day better just by me reading her stuff. Now, she's released the much awaited second novel in her Roommate Romps series, and while the first one had enemies becoming lovers, we've got friends going from platonic to romantic in Love Thy Neighbor. With as many friends-to-lovers books that I've read, dare I say that this one is an all-time favorite.

Caroline Reed, a promising clothing designer lacking in confidence and isn't too comfortable in social situations, and Cooper Bennett, a talented game developer who has no problem socializing, have been best friends ever since they became neighbors at fifteen. More than a decade later, these besties also happen to be roomies. They know how to push each other's buttons just as much as they know what the other is thinking and feeling. They've only crossed the line once--sort of--with a flubbed kiss when they were teenagers. But all it takes one naked encounter in the hallway to change everything.

I absolutely adored Cooper and Caroline! Their story was lighthearted and fun-filled with a hint of angst to satisfy even an angst addict like me. There was something beautifully organic about how their relationship went from being best friends to lovers and then to so much more. There wasn't any unnecessary drama nor was there any slapsticky comedy. Instead, Teagan Hunter offers up humor and wit alongside the romance. I loved the interactions between the two main characters, and I seriously liked their close-knit circle of friends. There was simply nothing for me to quibble about when it came to Love Thy Neighbor. Don't you go rolling your eyes at me either because this gets five-plus stars.

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
