The Roommate Deal

A Fake Relationship Sports Romance

De: Roxanne Tully

Narrado por: Veronica Pace, Finnley Cole

Single and jobless once again, I return to Boston, needing old friends to comfort me from bad decisions, like dating my boss, moving in with him, and being dumped, fired, and homeless all in one night.

Note to self, never ask a man “Where is this going?” when you have no place to go!

So when my bestie tells me an old friend from high school happens to be looking for a roommate, I jump at the chance.

What she didn’t tell me was that this "old friend" was Carson Hill, Mass High School’s center hockey player and the guy who didn’t know I existed while I knew nearly every detail about him.

Now, in his first year playing with the Boston Knightwings, he’s not the same socialite playboy I remember. He’s broody, snobbish, and completely unapproachable.

Why on earth would I ever agree to live with him? And why on earth would a pro hockey player be looking for a female roommate?

Loved

Paige is moving back to Boston single and jobless and no clue where to go other than she wants to finish school. High school hottie and now NHL star, Carson, just so happens to need a roommate and her friends set her up to be that person. The reason why is not as expected but also makes you swoon so hard for Carson.

These two clearly have an attraction and their banter is just amazing as is the tension. And the tension is high!

Fake dating and sports romance combined was setting this book up to be fantastic. I also listened to the audio which was in DUET format and I was obsessed. I love hearing the characters have a convo with each other. It makes it feel more real and like your apart of it. The narrators were amazing! This definitely made for a day of a LOT of driving so much more enjoyable.

Second chances

An exciting storyline filled with growth and turmoil, which Roxanne is well known for in her books. The excitement included within this audio was riveting, breathtaking, and passionately executed! My only complaint was the narrator for Paige did absolutely nothing for me and definitely did not “fit” Carson.

For me, this was somewhat of a reverse grumpy/sunshine story, with the female being the grinch per say. Carson is struggling with his own issues, while I felt she added to at times. Either way, this is a must read/listen!

The ending….

I loved so much of this story, but I feel like the ending was kind of a let down. There was so much put into this story for the ending to be as rushed as it felt. I loved everything up to that point, while I’m happy with how it ended, I wish it had been drawn out a bit so the readers could experience it more. Overall a great story and I loved the narrators, definitely worth the listen, just fell a little flat for my personal taste at the end!

Perfection!

Everything was perfect, from the storyline to the characters, even to the narrators. This book hands down sits at the top of my audiobook review list!

Loved this one

I listened to this in audio. The Narrators did an excellent job being in character. The story was great and showed how people are affected by others'actions. It shows us how even though we are making decisions so that we can get a desired outcome we could possibly hurt ourselves and others by being selfish. I have been happy with every book I have read by this author and would recommend her to anyone.

Good story

I really liked the basis of this fake relationship story and the characters were enjoyable. This was a quick listen and I thought the narrators did a good job.

Loved to listen while I read and followed along

I read the book before listening and I think it just added to the appeal of the book. The voices helped bring the characters to live. It it a great book I originally gave it a 4 star when first read but once I heard and read as I heard along it made it so much more for me. Loved this story even lore then the first time around.
I still love Paige and Carson's chemistry. It is still complete fire and off the charts hot. Their animosity I think just adds to it. I am a sucker for a good grumpy/sunshine, book especially if it had a fake relationship and with a touch of mystery thrown in to keep you drawn in. This is a book you must read highly recommend.

Finally

Paige moves back to Boston after a breakup.

Imagine her surprise when the guy she crushed on in. High school asks her to be his roommate.
Then things change and there force to fake date, but what happens when the lines start to blur and you can’t tell real from fake anymore?

Loved!

This was so perfect! It was my first time reading the story and being able to listen to them I would not want it any other way! Their chemistry was off the charts and I absolutely loved how they were together.

Great story

I loved the dual narrating of the story. I loved Carson wanting to be there for his sister and niece when his sister found herself in an impossible situation. His love for the two of them was so touching. Also, I enjoyed the male narrator I was not a huge fan of the female narrator she just was okay. However I definitely am glad I did listen because after reading the ebook this made me like Carson even more.
