2B Or Not 2B?
Roomies, #1
by Stephanie Witter
A New Adult Contemporary Romance
London Reed is on the hunt for a place to live before the start of her second year in college. Either she is successful and can enjoy her student life without the pressure of her parents breathing down her neck, or she goes back home and clashes with her parents.
Because London doesn’t have a filter.
”You’re a weird one, aren’t you?”
She basically tells it as she sees it. So when she meets the hunky and scarred guy who lives in apartment 2B, the last apartment on her exhausting list, she’s sure to bring some crazy in his life.
But he’s determined to not take a girl for a roommate.
“I have nothing against you, but I don’t see this working for me.”
London doesn’t give up that easily and makes a deal with him. If she makes it for two months, she’s in for the whole year. If not, then she leaves to never contact him again.
Easy, right? Not so much.
“You should have told me that you wanted me to be all over you.”
When a guy and a girl live under the same roof, it’s bound to complicate things. Between banters, heady games of seduction, innuendos and insecurities revealed, the life in apartment 2B isn’t simple, and a few slips in their relationship doesn’t help the matter.
“You’re driving me completely nuts. That’s my fucking problem.”
I absolutely loved this book! The banter that goes on between London and Byron had me cracking up and you could cut their sexual tension with a knife. I think it was a great story about love. Loving yourself as well as loving others.
Both London and Byron have past scars (in Byron’s case it’s more than figurative) to deal with. There was no instant connection necessarily but London’s candid way of speaking and frank mannerisms slowly pulled Byron out of his funk. Byron’s willingness to put up with London’s loose tongue and his enjoyment of her spontaneous nature slowly chipped at her walls. She has a lot of insecurities that she has to deal with. This was easily relatable since most girls go through this at one time or another. Both of these characters had great personalities and I found myself hoping from almost the beginning that they would end up together.
The story line had me glued to my tablet from page one. It flowed smoothly and I found it an enjoyable page turner. London’s wit and candid speech had me rolling with laughter. There were some great steamy scenes as well. I really recommend picking up this book and I look forward to more in the series. 5 out of 5 palm trees!
