Someone recommended this on BookRiot as a roommates romance and I was interested because it's also a second chances romance. Seventeen years after their divorce, Lana and Simon run into each other at an apartment inspection. With some reluctance, they become roommates in order to rent a decent place in New York. I liked the bits about their careers (she's a noodle maker in a restaurant, he's a music teacher), their ease with each other, and the sense of place. Things resolved very quickly in the end, and while I wanted more, given their history, that felt believable. This was a comfortable distraction in a week when I really needed it. House Rules by Ruby Lang Uptown #3 Meeting the man you were once married to after seventeen years apart could put a damper on your day or perhaps a spark in your eye. Simon and Lana do meet again at an open house while looking for an apartment to rent in NY. They chat a bit, realize they won’t see one another again and go on their merry way only to end up in the same apartment as roommates. They have rules to follow, a gorgeous place to stay, their own jobs, a rescue cat and increasing difficulty not acting on those embers that that are being fanned from their past relationship. This is a second chance romance with a couple in their forties given the chance to see whether or not they might be able to get it right this time around. What I liked: * Both are more mature than they were seventeen years before...mostly more mature * Muffin – the cat * The way friends and family are supportive and play a part in the story * The lack of major drama as they get back together * Lana – she has made a vow to herself that she will be honest and ask for what she needs/wants – and that is what she does. Also admired her for finding what made her happy and not remaining in a situation that made her unhappy. * Simon – a bit set in his ways and not one to embrace change easily but he does want to embrace Lana * The communication between Lana and Simon What I didn’t like: * Sometimes Simon was not as open as I would have liked for him to be and perhaps a bit self centered Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:"Smart, nuanced, and so, so romantic!" â??Kate Clayborn, author of Love Lettering ROOMMATE WANTED to share a gorgeous sun-filled apartment in Central Harlem. Must love cats. No ex-husbands or wives need apply. Seventeen years ago, different dreams pulled Simon Mizrahi and Lana Kuo apart. But when Lana takes a position as a chef back in Manhattan, her apartment search puts her right in her ex-husband's path. Music teacher Simon is also hunting for a new place to live, and when Lana proposes they be platonic roomies, well...it's not the worst idea he's ever heard. A sunny uptown two-bedroom sounds far more appealing than the cramped, noisy space where he's currently struggling to work. Still, Simon has seen firsthand that Lana's a flight risk, so he agrees on a trial basis. Three months. With strict boundaries. Living together again feels wonderfully nostalgic, but when the ex-couple's lingering feelings rise to the surface, the rules go out the window. Of course, chemistry was never their problem. But while Simon's career feels back on solid footing, Lana is still sorting out what she wants. With their trial period soon coming to an end, they'll have to decide if their living arrangement was merely a sexy trip down memory lane or a reunion meant to last. One-click with confidence.

I'm a big fan of stories where the conflict arises from who the characters are rather than from misunderstandings or one character hiding something from another. The only thing these two hide are their feelings, and even that doesn't drag out. The story moves at a fine pace, smoother than the first two books in this series. In the end, the solution they work out for themselves rings true to their relationship and who they are. It was very satisfying.
It's also nice to briefly see Magda, the heroine of book two who seems to be the connector between the books. Hope there are more books in this series. ( )
