Fleeing a bad relationship, Roddy Waite returns to his home town where he gets a job as a baker in a coffee shop and lodges with one of his coworkers who is leaving the family farm to become a graphic designer. Despite it being the first in a series following different characters but all set in Vermont, I didn't really feel any sense of place. It could have been anywhere. Still, it was an enjoyable quick read that didn't need any great powers of concentration. This was pretty light and fun. I enjoyed reading it, and I loved Kieran becoming more of his own person and more expressive with Roderick. Not much else to add in that area because it was just a simple but good read. I understood the pressure Kieran felt, and I related a lot, but his flat-out refusal to come out and be his own self despite knowing he'd be supported did get very frustrating around the 70% point when it became the main issue. I kind of wish there had been an opportunity for Roderick to grow more. He was already very self-aware and knew what his problems were, he just didn't have the self-control to do it most of the time (hellooooo me too). He basically fell into the solution to his problems by going to Vermont and meeting Kieran so I'd just have like to see more choices from him. My only real critique is that it just didn't get that deep. It had all the setup for this big drama - a cheating, abusive ex, homophobic parents, pressure from families to be a certain way, repeating unhealthy relationship behaviors, exploration of sexuality - and it never really dug deep and dealt with the heart of those issues. Everything was literally smushed in there in the last 15% to deal with Kieran's secrets and Roderick's ex (which was just pointless too, actually no reason to even be in the book). It just felt kind of fluffy with all these serious issues but never really confronting them head on. The first time I read a book by Sarina Bowen was many years ago and I fell in love with her books then and she only continues to get better with each book she writes. I especially love how she writes books that stand on their own but also are still fleshed out with many characters from her other books and the Roommate is no exception to this rule with lots of cameos by other members of the True North world. Sarina Bowen is one of those authors whose books I know I will love before I even start them. This novel did not disappoint the story drew me in from the first and I was instantly intrigued by and rooting for the characters. Her M/M books are honestly the best ones out their and Kieran and Roderick's story may be her best one yet. I instantly fell in love with both of these guys and it was a delight seeing their story unfold. I am very excited to read more books that take place in the World of True North as I know there will be several by a variety of authors coming out soon. This is a relatable place with characters you truly care for and want to see a happy outcome given to. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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 may want more from me than another fresh-baked 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... Passionate, sexy, and emotional, Roommate brings all the feels and all the delicious heat!
