Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds.

I was starting to lose hope.

Until a knock at my door came and God answered my prayers.

Except…uh…wrong prayer, God.

I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate.

Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway.

While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined.

Then cupcakes showed up at my door—freshly baked by Declan and just as sinfully delicious as he was.

You could say he was persistent.

I eventually folded. It wasn’t like I had another viable candidate anyway.

Plus, I was interested in someone else. And Declan was into another woman. So it wasn’t like anything would happen romantically.

After he moved in, the two of us became the best of friends. We even started to give each other advice on getting our crushes to notice us.

Eventually, Declan concocted an idea: we should pretend to be a couple to make our love interests jealous.

I was hesitant, but went along with it anyway. To my utter shock, his crazy plan worked.

Now I was dating the supposed man of my dreams, and my best friend had the woman of his.

But there was one problem.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Declan.

Those feelings we were trying to fake?

Yeah…I wasn’t pretending anymore.

Rating: 4 Stars

I always love a book by these two author's and I always love the story and characters but I found this one about lacking in storyline. The story was very one dimential and predictable which I find hard to say about these two. There was good things in the book to and if you don't mind a quick predictable quick story then this is a good book.

The story was heart warming and I did love a bit of Declan. He was definitely very swoon worthy but sweet and funny. He has a lot of charm and is very sexy so Molly couldn't really turn him down when he needed a room to rent.

The story is very back and forth with them but not really any angst which I really missed. They get together very late in the game and I wanted them to get together alot sooner.I

Not my favourite story but still a good book.
