I’ve loved every Talia Hibbert book I’ve ever read. This book though, is on another level. It’s God-tier. It’s not as fluffy and goofy as some of her other books like The Brown Sisters series. It’s deep, emotional, and beautiful. The characters are lovable, flawed, and honest. I can’t believe it took me this long to read.

"He started the engine, checked his mirrors."Seatbelt."
"Yes, Daddy."
Rahul gritted his teeth and had mental word with his libido. No, she didn't mean it like that. Trust me, mate. Go back to sleep."

Excuse me sir. Rahul. Sir. Can we just talk for a minute? 🥺👉🏾👈🏾
I've never read Smut that had me gasping out loud and blinking back tears. I've also never read a Talia book I didn't absolutely love.😍  Nobody talks like Rahul, nobody commands like Rahul. My knees were weak!😭

4.5 stars 🌟

The steam, the banter, the conversations and the way Rahul just existed. My compliments to the chef.😌

TW: Parental neglect, abandonment and alcohol dependency.

Of all the Talia Hibbert books I've read, this one might be my least favorite. I'm not a huge fan of folks who are flighty and/or can't commit, so Jasmine was not a compelling heroine--and Rahul pined for her way more than I could stomach. I do, however, appreciate how Hibbert acknowledges that both behaviors aren't healthy, and the chemistry between the two of them is excellent (this book is STEAMY!).

Jas and Rahul will forever be in my heart. I loved everything about how this book developed. It was very real and raw. The family dynamics, the self destructive behaviors, all of it just brought so much more to this best friends to lovers. I was in love with my best friend and completely felt Talia portrayed it perfectly. The emotions are confusing and scary, while also beautiful and exhilarating. The steam was top notch. If you are a fade to black type of person this isn't it. I'd say 🔥🔥🔥 but I love all the steam.

- Talia Hibbert is just so good at creating opposites attract characters, and THE ROOMMATE RISK is no exception. Jasmine and Rahul have explosive chemistry.
- I'll be honest, I didn't love that Rahul was sort of a nice guy/friendzone character. But he was such a good counterbalance to Jasmine that I could look past it for the most part.
- Hibbert also excels at giving characters real backstory - often tough ones - and exploring those experiences in a safe and loving way.
