beau was such a fun character, he was so scatterbrained and awkward and nd-coded and i loved him.
Look I get Saxon James is seen as one of the best gay comtempary romance writers.
And normally I agree but I wasn't as overly fond of this book as others I read.
It could have been for several reasons
1) I'm sick so maybe I just couldn't get into it the way I immerse myself in his books normally
2) one of the MC's interal monologue was so irrating to me I almosted DNF'ed multiple times
3) I found it on a slow burn list and I wouldn't consider this a slow burn and SB was what I was in the mood for
Regardless I didn't find myself smiling or laughing as much as I normally do with Saxon James books

Roommate Arrangement by Saxon James ⭐⭐⭐.5
A sweet romance about a quirky author whose had a crush on his brother's best friend since childhood. Beau is an unconventional guy and often finds himself getting lost in his thoughts and writing and struggling with social cues and dating.
Payne is looking to start his life over after finding out his husband has been cheating on him. He's not looking for love, just somewhere to live whilst he gets his life sorted.
Payne and Beau become roommates and help each other grow in different ways. Payne helps Beau come out of his shell and face the world and Beau starts to make Payne believe there could be more good left in his life than he thought.
There are definitely some fun moments such as pretend sword fighting and cute moments including Payne letting Beau colour in his tattoos to help with his anxiety. However, overall I found that the story felt a little slow and lacking. I love Saxon's work but this wasn't my favourite of her books.

These two were so fun. This book had me yelling at them to just get together already for at least half of it
