Publisher's summary

The last time I saw my best friend's younger brother, he was a geek wearing braces. But when Cannon shows up to crash in my spare room, I get a swift reality check.

Now 24, he's broad shouldered and masculine, and so sinfully sexy, I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to enjoy. At six-foot-something with lean muscles hiding under his T-shirt, a deep sexy voice, and full lips that pull into a smirk when he studies me, he's pure temptation.

Fresh out of a messy breakup, he doesn't want any entanglements. But I can resist, right?

I'm holding strong until the third night of our new arrangement when we get drunk and he confesses his biggest secret of all: he's cursed when it comes to sex. Apparently he's a god in bed, and women instantly fall in love with him.

I'm calling bullshit. In fact, I'm going to prove him wrong, and if I rack up a few much-needed orgasms in the process, all the better.

There's no way I'm going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start...I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.

Ouch. That was painful. I don't return books....

But I'd ask for a refund of my time, keep the money. The male narrator drove me nuts. I barely finished.

Such potential... it just wasn't utilized

I did enjoy the read, though it had some slow spots in it. It has great potential, but I feel like the author focused on the wrong drama. In the beginning the story was setup to bring us some great suspense and drama filled chapters, but what we got was one chapter of crazy ex girlfriend drama and the downer of a stepfathers death. The losses he suffered should have brought him closer to her, making it harder on them both when the sister found out... instead it was just something that happened and then they were too childish to speak to each other for weeks. I just feel like the great story it could have been was lost and we were served a bland shell. It falls in line with the many cookie cutter stories that are rushed out to make a buck.

Good story, great potential, an okay was to spend a few hours.

Good start to the series!

This was a fun, sexy and enjoyable audiobook. The characters have amazing chemistry and their love story was sweet. I liked the writing and I really liked everything about it except from the sister/best friends reaction. I found her reaction too unbelievable, are they teens...nope, so her childish attention seeking response just annoyed me.

The narration was great!

Not great

The male narrator really ruined this one for me. His voice just didn't sound appropriate for the character he was trying to portray.

Male narrator runined it for me

Sorry, Jeremy! I'm sure he's a great guy but his smarmy voice makes him sound more like a sexual predator than a heartthrob. Couldn't finish the book.

My Thoughts on The Room Mate

Take a sexy med student and move him in with his sister's very attractive best friend and you've got a recipe for a fantastic read.

Cannon was this great mix of smart, determined, caring and super hot alpha male. I loved it. Paige was something Cannon wasn't used to. A mature woman with her life together. While they both knew the other should be off limits to one another, their roommate status proves to be too much temptation to resist.

I loved the concept of this story, I loved the characters, I loved the narrators, and I loved that it was so easy to lose myself in. Can't wait to read more from this author.

Great listen

I really enjoyed this listen. I liked the chemistry between the 2 main characters, I liked motivated, strong characters. I loved the realistic characteristics that were so detailed, it humanized the characters expertly.

My hesitation with the book is that the motivations behind the drama or plot, was just too exaggerated that I felt it was much ado about nothing. I can't imagine emotions running that strong about these 2 characters falling in love. I just couldn't believe it.

Ava Erickson and Jeremy York were great narrators. Perfect, actually. Their portrayal of the main characters and secondary characters was spot on. It was easy to tell who was speaking and the different personalities of the different characters.

Funny best friend's little brother romance

I was hooked from the very first line. Who wouldn't be when it opens up with the leading lady holding a gas can and matches? It was the perfect mix of witty banter and electric chemistry. I look forward to reading the other books in the series!

The narration wasn't my favorite. I loved Ava's parts but was not able to get into Jeremy's chapters. I just feel that their may have been a better fit for the male POV.
