Funny, sweet and oh so sexy!

Clara Wheaton moved all the way to LA to room with her crush from childhood. What better way than convincing him that they should be together than being roommates first? Her plan backfires as soon as she gets to California. Turns out Everett, her childhood crush is in a band and they're leaving - like right away. Her roommate now is someone she doesn't even know and she's not sure how to feel about it. Clara eventually finds out that her new roommate Josh is a pleasure professional and she's not entirely sure how to feel about that initially. Enter Josh - oh Josh. Josh has got to be one of the best book boyfriend there is. He's so sweet and caring and really tries to get to know Clara better. I love that there was such a deep emotional connection between the two of them. They knew each others hopes and dreams and didn't mock them, instead tried to elevate each other. This book was HOT HOT HOT. The sex scenes had my kindle steaming! I don't want to give the plot away too much - but I absolutely love the way the sex was portrayed in The Roommate. Sex isn't something that should be ashamed of or made to feel "dirty," and I love the way Rosie Danan is able to portray that in The Roommate. The Roommate had everything that I love to read in a romance. It had the perfect amount of sexual tension mixed with scenes that had me laughing. At the same time I also have so many scenes highlighted that had my heart completely in my throat. I felt giddiness, excitement, angst, happiness and longing from this wonderful book. Audiobook Story: 5 Narration: 5 Overall: 5 I loved listening to the audiobook of The Roommate. Teddy Hamilton is a favorite narrator and he did such a wonderful job voicing Josh! I was able to feel all of Josh's emotions - laughter, pain and joy! Brittany Pressley was the perfect voice for Clara! I loved how in the beginning of the book she was so uncertain and by the end she had come into her own. Teddy Hamilton and Brittany Pressley were the perfect duo! They did a perfect job voicing Clara and Josh. I'm sure I'll be listening to this audiobook again in the very near future.

Slow burn

Great book, fantastic slow burn! The rest of this is filler. How many words do you really need?

A MUST listen

This is my favorite new author. She tells such a fabulous story and we really get to know the characters and the stages of their developing relationship. It was easy to fall in love with the author and her characters. Can’t wait for the next book!

A definite must listen, so much more than a live story, but it was that too.

There are so many aspects of this story that I loved. At the heart of it, it highlights the uncertainty everyone faces in their lives with finding their own place in their world. Often people think they are headed in one direction and suddenly life happens and they find themselves turning down another path. This was written beautifully into the story, and was relatable and smartly written. Add in the pressure we feel to belong or meet expectations and finding a sense of self acceptance and love regardless of others or obstacles and this story added an interesting take on that. And finally the romance was everything I needed while listening. It had a great blend of anticipation, flirty moments, sexual build up and tension, and ultimately love all displayed in a way that was not only swoon worthy but subtle with its realistic portrayal. I ❤️ this story so hard. The narration was amazing, and so completely well done, it has duel POV and I feel that added greatly the the story telling. This is definitely a book that is credit worthy. It gets better with every chapter, believe me.

I want more!!

I couldn't love this book more. Switching back and forth from male to female narrator threw me off, but I see what they were going for, male vs female perspective. But the story itself was amazing! I was right there with Claira the whole time. Can't wait to listen again!!

A fun, sexy story that pulled me out of a reading slump

This was such a fun and sexy read. It pulled me out of a pretty epic reading slump. I loved Clara and Josh and thought that they had great chemistry. They were a fantastic “opposites attract” couple, and their personalities complemented each other perfectly. I loved all of the playful, steamy moments they shared throughout the book. I appreciated the discussion of sex positivity, sex work, and prioritizing women’s pleasure. I enjoyed this book from start to finish, and I can’t wait to read Naomi’s book!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!!!

Well done Rosie Danan! I can't wait for your next book because this one was so fun and delicious. The story was great and I couldn't stop listening. The narration was also spot on!

Cute

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book about the porn community- that was a nice change. Some parts were meh but for the most part I thought it was a really fun book to listen to. I had to speed it up because the narrators are too slow for me but that’s been an issue with the last few books I’ve listened to. You could literally cut two hours off if you read a little faster

Great story - fun, smart & plenty of heat

Truly enjoyed this one! I found the story really engaging on a lot of levels. Always enjoy Teddy Hamilton narrations & he does a great job here as usual - but this was my first Brittany Pressley narration and I was really impressed. She did great. I definitely want to listen to more books by this author and these narrators!
