Wanted: One roommate to share a 3-bedroom house, split the rent, and ideally not be the guy I can’t stop thinking about.

I’m a man with too many secrets, so the last thing I need is a new roommate with a sexy smile and blue eyes that see right through me. Eight years ago, Roderick left town after high school. We’re not friends. I owe him nothing. But back then, I let one of my secrets slip, and he’s the only one who noticed. 

Part of me knows I should run far, far away. But the other part wants him to come upstairs and spend the night. But if I let him in, I could lose everything.
 
Seeking: a room to rent in town. I’m tidy, have no pets, and I will feed you homemade bread. 

I should probably add: Gay AF, and has no filter. It’s no wonder my new landlord is so wary of me. 

A smarter man would ignore those hot glances from Kieran Shipley. The broody lumberjack wants more from me than another homemade pretzel, but if I push my luck, I’ll end up back on the street.
​
Too bad I’ve never been smart with my heart… ​

𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: Sarina Bowen knows how to write swoony MM romances, so it comes to me as no surprise that this is another winner. If you enjoy the genre, grab this one!

Being back in Vermont was such a delight! I remember the first time I read her True North series as I fell instantly in LOVE with the setting. The characters of course are just as amazing, but I have never read a book or series that takes place in Vermont, so this was a nice little treat for me. If you haven’t read the True North series don’t fret because you don’t need to! But if you enjoyed this book you’ll want to go and see what the Shipley’s are all about.

I’m giving this one a solid 4-star rating which means 𝗜 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗧. Kieran, the broody farmer stole my heart from the beginning. He’s the quiet type that likes to keep his thoughts and desires a secret from everyone else. His family life is a little troubled as him and his father don’t see eye to eye which gives us readers a lot of insight into WHY Kieran is the way he is. I think Sarina did a wonderful job at making him feel real and giving him raw emotions that we could understand.

Roderick, our lovely OTHER hero is quite the opposite from Kieran. He’s not afraid of people knowing he’s gay AF (his words, not mine) and has a silly demeanor. He says what he’s thinking without consequence. Did I love his character? I liked him but I never connected on a deep level with him like I did with Kieran. Perhaps it’s because he was a little wishy-washy for me. He understood WHY Kieran couldn’t come out, but he still had no problem hurting him. I didn’t care for this aspect. What I did love about him though is that he loved himself despite the disastrous relationship her was in prior to Kieran. Sarina did a great job bringing him to life.
