So I read the novellas out of order, as I read The Love Hypothesis (loved it) and then Stuck With You (wasn’t a fan). I got the novellas as my library made them available on @libby.app, so I found UOR last. While I loved TLH because I felt like I could really follow as the characters’ relationships built, I didn’t really feel that in Under One Roof.
Due to the shortness of the story, it felt a bit like a porno; they went rapidly from enemies to friends, and then they were suddenly getting naked
Although this story was more enjoyable than Stuck With You, it still did not live up to the novel that started it all. I found the antics of Mara and Liam to be entertaining, and there was a certain organic feel to their relationship development. Aside from the scene that felt straight out of a porno- if you read it, you know what I mean- the story feels possible. I found that I actually wanted to finish reading this one (unlike Stuck With You).
