Review: The Room Mate (Roommates #1) by Kendall Ryan

Posted on the 27 January 2017 by Readingromances

The last time I saw my best friend's younger brother, he was a geek wearing braces. But when Cannon shows up to crash in my spare room, I get a swift reality check.

Now twenty-four, he's broad shouldered and masculine, and so sinfully sexy, I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to enjoy. At six-foot-something with lean muscles hiding under his T-shirt, a deep sexy voice, and full lips that pull into a smirk when he studies me, he's pure temptation.

Fresh out of a messy breakup, he doesn't want any entanglements. But I can resist, right?

I'm holding strong until the third night of our new arrangement when we get drunk and he confesses his biggest secret of all: he's cursed when it comes to sex. Apparently he's a god in bed, and women instantly fall in love with him.

I'm calling bullshit. In fact, I'm going to prove him wrong, and if I rack up a few much-needed orgasms in the process, all the better.

There's no way I'm going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start...I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.

I couldn't get enough of Cannon.

"The Room Mate" is a standalone and first book in the "Roommates" series. It's the second book by Kendall Ryan that I read.
The story is a twist on "best friend's little sister", a best friend's younger brother! Who doesn't love a younger hero? The sexual tension and chemistry between Cannon and Paige was scorching. The sexy times were spicy but I felt something was missing, I wanted to see more romance per say.
I had some problems with the ending, the last 20% had a slower pace than the rest of the book and I thought the events were tragic for such a light-hearted romanced. Overall it was a fun, playful and sexy romance.
 I voluntarily reviewed an eARC.
