Review: Roommate

Roommate by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aw! Roddy has left Nashville with practically just the shirt off his back after his in the closet famous country star boyfriend deliberately cheated on him in some kind of twisted power play. He returns home to Vermont, hoping his religious parents might have had a change of heart since they kicked him out when he was eighteen - but nope. Now he's sleeping in his car, washing at the gym during a free one-week trial, and desperately seeking any paying job.

Kieran is living a lie. The atmosphere at home is toxic, he works mornings at a local coffee shop and afternoons at a print shop designing copy before returning to the farm at night to help his older brother Kyle and his father. But he has a plan, he's saving every penny he earns to put towards renting his own place in town and he plans to audit some art classes in his spare time. Years ago he watched as Roddy and one of the High School seniors got it on under the bleachers, thinking no-one knew, until Roddy looked right at him one time!

Kieran can't believe it when Roddy comes into the café where he works and asks for work, although he doesn't want to be reminded of his voyeurism he can't stop his cousin hiring Roddy, especially when he realises that Roddy is sleeping in his car, so when Kieran gets his three bedroom apartment it only makes sense for him to offer to share with Roddy.

This is a sweet, yet sexy, close proximity romance. Loved it.
