“…it just didn’t flow for me.  Kind of choppy and lacked emotional connection.”
~ Under the Covers

I picked this book up because of the cute cover, the premise and it fit perfectly for the #LNYReadathon20 plus I’m always on the lookout to try new to me authors.This is about a couple that was married years before and their marriage fell apart.  They got divorced and went on completely separate paths.  Now the heroine has moved back to NYC and looking for an apartment, and the hero is in need of moving because of issues with his current place.  By chance they end up looking at the same listing and when high rents force them to realize they can’t really afford what they want/need on their own, well what better idea than to get the place they want and move in together sharing their expenses.  As roommates, of course.

Frankly, I wanted to like this book more than I did.  The characters and the romance felt a bit bland to me.  I didn’t fell much of a spark between them either.  And when it came to the writing, it just didn’t flow for me.  Kind of choppy and lacked emotional connection.  It could just be me though.

I’m not sure I’ll be reading more from this series at least for now.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!

I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
