Roommate by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
March 1-13
Wanted: One roommate to share a 3-bedroom house, split the rent, and ideally not be the guy I can’t stop thinking about.
I’m a man with too many secrets, so the last thing I need is a new roommate with a sexy smile and blue eyes that see right through me. Eight years ago, Roderick left town after high school. We’re not friends. I owe him nothing. But back then, I let one of my secrets slip, and he’s the only one who noticed.
Part of me knows I should run far, far away. But the other part wants him to come upstairs and spend the night. But if I let him in, I could lose everything.
Seeking: A room to rent in town. I’m tidy, have no pets, and I will feed you homemade bread.
I should probably add: Gay AF, and has no filter. It’s no wonder my new landlord is so wary of me.
A smarter man would ignore those hot glances from Kieran Shipley. The broody lumberjack wants more from me than another homemade pretzel, but if I push my luck, I’ll end up back on the street.
Too bad I’ve never been smart with my heart …
Review: This was a really funny and cute romance this is about Roderick and Kireran see when Kireran was in high school Kireran witnessed Roderick giving another guy oral pleasure and he kept going back to watch. Years later Roderick is back in town after a really bad breakup he ends up getting a job at the busy bean but he is still stuck sleeping in his car cause he’s broke. Kireran ends up moving out of his parent’s place he needs his own space and him and his father don’t really get along for reasons. Kieran sees Roderick sleeping in the car and asks him to move in with him . Roderick and him start to get a long and he gives Kireran cooking lessons and then they ended up kissing and then hooking up and it turned to be more but Kireran isn’t ready to come out and his cousin ends up seeing them in bed together. Roderick doesn’t want to go back in the closet so he needs time away . Kireran gets his scholarship to art school . Kieran ends up quitting his job cause his bosses son was a tool and called him a slur . Kireran dad gets in a accident and he’s in the hospital and it comes out that Kieran and his dad aren’t blood related his mom had an affair with a priest and it also comes out that Kieran and Roderick are together. I loved this book had some spice and made me laugh.
Quotes:I’d be a good roommate. Neat freak will make you sourdough waffles once a week on his day off. Gay AF. Quiet because he has no friends.
He bends down, and I absolutely do not check out his ass as he retrieves the chalk off the floor.
This had better be Kieran’s house. Either that, or I’m about to be arrested for trespassing. And I don’t have bail money.” I hear what may possibly be a distant snort of laughter
Still, I can’t stop wondering how good it would feel to be grabbed up in those strong arms and hugged. Or, say, pinned to the bed while he fucks me. I’m not picky.
How did you, uh, know.” He clears his throat, and his eyes are tentative. “Know?” I feel so swimmy and bright that it takes a moment to understand what he’s asking. “Oh, that I’m queer as fuck? I always knew. Sorry.” I can hear myself babbling. “But everybody’s different. I know some dudes who were thirty-five and married before they figured out how much they like cock.”
No fucking way. I can’t use an app. Shit. I can’t even make barista conversation with strangers. People chat on that app, right? And if I actually saw someone interesting on there, they’d want to talk.” He shudders. I burst out laughing. “Oh the horrors! So you aren’t afraid to suck a dick, but the small talk might kill you?” “Maybe,” he grumbles
Let’s eat pulled pork. I’m drunk, and if we stand here any longer I’m just going to stare at you while I picture you naked.” His laughter sounds uncomfortable. “All right. Dinner
“I have a Christmas present for you to unwrap.” “Is it in your pants?” He nudges his ass against my crotch, and my body does not fail to take the hint. “I love opening presents,” he teases. “No, it’s under the tree.”
“I can’t believe the first guy you’ve ever dated happens to be named Rod,” Griffin says. “I suppose it could be worse. Dicky, maybe. Or Hammer.”
