The Roommate (Shameless)

Product Information

Fast forward to this year, I tried again and I couldn’t stop! I think I burned through about 6 hours just reading this book. Clara Wheaton is the consummate good girl: over-achieving, well-mannered, utterly 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. All Fun And Games': Vertical Sets Fall Release For Horror Thriller Starring Natalia Dyer & Asa Butterfield

Change always comes with a closing cost,” Naomi said. “But it’s still worth trying. Not because the odds are particularly good, mind you, but considering the alternative. There’s value in the struggle. Value in touching the raw and bloody parts of our souls, opening them up to the sunlight, and hoping they heal.” One of the steamiest romances of the year. This is a downright revolutionary story about modern women owning their desire‘ Popsugar When not working on her next book, Rosie enjoys jogging slowly to fast music, petting other people’s dogs, and competing against herself in rounds of Chopped using the miscellaneous ingredients occupying her fridge. I’m excited for the next book, The Intimacy Experiment because it features Naomi! I really loved her strong presence and I’m excited to dive into her story! 😍

Rosie Danan not only created characters who you’ll think about long after you’re finished reading, but she wrote a powerful, feministbook, that makes you laugh as hard as you cheer. The Roommate is sunshine in the form of a book. I can’t wait to see what Danan brings us next!” —Alexa Martin, author of Snapped After a bait-and-switch, Clara finds herself sharing a lease 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 hadn’t looked him up on the Internet... Josh could hardly spend more than fifteen minutes with her without wanting to eat her out until he sprained his jaw.”

My debut novel THE ROOMMATE and a follow-up sequel THE INTIMACY EXPERIMENT are both available now from Berkley/Penguin (US) and Piatkus/Little Brown (UK). Rosie Danan’s The Roommate is seriously sexy, seriously smart.” —Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author The book had it all, comedy, hot stuff and fluff, overcoming fears and insecurities, healthy depiction of relationships, and a great highlight of the reality of the adult entertainment industry. Characterization: Josh was my favorite of the character just because he was given the most room to grow and he did. I learned his strengths, weaknesses, dreams, insecurities, history, everything. It was done in a way that you didn’t always notice. His story arc was stunning and the best part of this novel. Clara was a little less defined but I think that was part of her character. I wish I would have seen more of her changing. And Naomi! She was a precious badass that I am so looking forward to following into Danan’s second novel. I loved how we learned about her and she wasn’t jaded about Clara and Josh even if Josh and her had been together for so long. She was great and knew exactly what she wanted. Dislikes: What an incredible debut! Danan gives us strangers to annoyed-roommates to kinda-friends to angsty-pining to finally-lovers with humor, wit, and just a hint of pathos. Josh and Clara are easily my favorite ‘smash the patriarchy’ couple, and The Roommate is easily one of my top romance reads of 2020!” —Jen DeLuca, author of Well Met

But it was also full of achingly cute and adorable scenes, even the slightest little things they do for each other. UGH, I LOVE FLUFF! 💖 And not only with Clara and Josh but also with their relationships with their friends and family, like Jill (Clara’s Aunt) and slightly with Naomi, who has this no-nonsense woman with a strong personality but is really a cinnamon roll inside. Final Thoughts 💡

As I mentioned, The Roommate surprised me in many good ways. When people said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN.Wildly original and sexy romance . . . this delectable rom-com is both red-hot and fiercely feminist‘ Publishers Weekly

Fun Fact: this was the first book I read on my new Kindle Paperwhite. Yes, I caved in and finally bought one, but that’s another story for another time. 😏 I know that pornography is not a comfortable topic for everyone but this book really highlights the reality of inequalities and exploitation that’s happening in the industry. Some fears kill us. They drain us our whole lives, and we die filled with regret. THE ROOMMATE BY ROSIE DANAN Fluff and Smut 💋 Rosie Danan’s The Roommate is seriously sexy, seriously smart’ Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling authorThe Roommate is equally fluffy and smutty, I’m going to say that upfront. There are a lot of spicy chapters and sex scenes are explicitly graphic, there’s even a mutual masturbation scene! 🔥🔥 Funny, super steamy and surprisingly tender, The Roommate raises the bar for rom coms in 2020‘ Evie Dunmore, author of Bringing Down the Duke
