Review: My Brother's Roommate by Kendall Ryan (Frisky Business #2)


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

There's no business like Frisky Business, and the guys and gals of Kendall Ryan's series are feeling all kinds of frisky, and it's certainly more pleasure than business. My Brother's Roommate is the second book in the series, and the title pretty much clues you in as to what trope is employed. Penelope Blake hates her older brother's best friend who also happens to be his roommate...or maybe she just wants Wolfgang Cox to think she hates him. When she finds herself in need of a plus-one to an important work conference, her brother volunteers Wolfie to be her escort. This conference is her opportunity to show her boss that she's the perfect person for the upcoming promotion she's worked so hard for. However, with Wolfie around and only one hotel bed between them, will Penelope end up losing the promotion and her heart, and will Wolfie finally realize that he's more than enough for Penelope and that they both deserve each other and a friskily-ever-after?

As always, Kendall Ryan delivers the three Hs in this second Frisky Business book: heart, heat, and humor. Penelope initially likens Wolfie's being emotionally unavailable to a chinchilla, which is actually a rather sociable creature, but I consider him more like a porcupine--prickly but that has a lot to do with his need to protect himself due to certain things that happened in his past. This was a fast-paced read, and a highly enjoyable one at that. These two main characters surpassed my expectations, and they certainly endeared themselves to me. Four stars for My Brother's Roommate. Bring on book three!

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

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. 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
