Reviews with content warning for Car accident - The Roommate

A fun book all around. Fun premise, a east coast trust fund socialite finds herself abandoned by her crush and becomes roommates with a pornstar. They both grow and realize their flaws and how it has negatively affected those they love.

I loved how caring Josh was with her when they were being intimate. Also, the ex gf/ business partner was very fun. I hope she gets a book.

This book was gifted to me for my birthday and I am always down for finding new authors and series. This book had no right being as cute as it was.

This book has two points of view. The first is Clara Wheaton. She is an over-achiever, well-mannered and completely predictable. When her childhood crush invites her to move across the country, the offer is too good to resist. Unfortunately, it’s also too good to be true. Suddenly, Clara finds herself sharing a house with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive – not to mention handsome – for comfort, but there’s a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hasn’t looked him online. The second is Josh Conners also known online as Josh Darling – he works in the adult industry and he has been kicked out by his ex-girlfriend and co-star. He is just needing this sublet to get his life back on – to sign a new dealer with the biggest adult industry company and to make things right with his ex. That was before he met Clara – she is new, vanilla and he can’t stop thinking about her. Whilst they are getting to know each other, they realise they don’t agree on much but they both believe women deserve better sex. What they decide to do will change both of their lives, and if they’re lucky, they’ll help everyone else get lucky too.

I went into this book having no clue what it was about, I'm not going to lie this was on my Wishlist because of the cover and the cover alone. But this book was adorable. I didn’t have high expectations of this book, but it blew me away. It was fun, cute and sweet. But it’s also serious - the discussion over the adult industry and how the performers are treated from the big bosses. Josh was a complete golden retriever and just trying his best to keep everyone happy and I adored him. Clara took a bit of warming up, I think it was because she was so worried about what her family though about her and kept being ashamed of Josh which I get but you are business partners and if you are ashamed of your business partner you shouldn’t be in business with them. I did love the chemistry between though and I feel like it’s the trope of chilled boyfriend and uptight girlfriend.

I felt like there was something missing within this book, I don’t know what it was it was just the extra sparkle that would make it five stars. Maybe it was the miscommunication that happened or the way the grand gesture happened but something was missing. I think it was the side characters they felt a little dense especially Everett who’s supposed to be Rosie’s love of her life and he was just two dimensional.

This was the first book of Rosie Danan’s that I've read and I really enjoyed it and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

Delightfully hot with a heavy feminist lean and plenty of plot. Almost too much plot? Characters were well-crafted and tangible.

i’m getting tired of writing reviews when I read a book every 2 something days (oops) so this one is gonna be short as hell. This book was definitely very steamy™️ but also very cute and fluffy at the same time and I enjoyed it! I also really liked all the messages about self love, promoting female pleasure and de stigmatizing sex work. fun, fast read!
