Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
One of my favorite authors!
Kendall Ryan gets me every time. The Room Mate was sweet, sexy and sassy, with a completely unexpected dose of heartbreaking feels. This story really has everything I look for in a book.
The Room Mate
I tend to always blame the author for the inability to get to sleep and read way past my bedtime. So now the blame lies on Kendall Ryan for her great talent to create a story that kept me captivated and addicted for the better part of the night. I'm so tired , I'm like a walking zombie. But you know what? I'll do it again for her.
This 5 star story includes an extremely hot Cannon that melted the ice of the Princess. Let's face it she had ice queen written all over her.
Cannon needs a place to stay for a few months, so his sister, Allie, asks her best friend, Paige if he can crash at her place. They've known each other as children but they haven't seen each other in a long time. Paige remembers him as the 4 year younger, annoying pesky little geek who always had his nose in a book. But the Cannon standing on her doorstep is anything but that. He's an hot 24 yo Med student who's pretty confident about himself. Oh! Boy! Spark will fly.
This is the classic story of the somewhat forbidden love. He doesn't need any distractions in order to finish med shcool. His sister reminds him often of it. They've been warned to stay away from each other.
I basically read this story in one sitting, once I started reading it, it was almost close to impossible to put down. There was never a dull moment in sight. It was a short read without the added boring details that we tend to get sometimes to just fill a book up. I was captivated by this beautiful creative storyline that flowed very well.
There were parts that were heartbreaking and that it hit home for me. As a nurse myself, I know how it feels to loose patients. I like that the author included some of that because it defined Cannon's character. I just adored these characters very much. From Cannon the foul mouthed, sexy and sweet with his selfless acts. Paige had a cold demeanour on the exterior but she was protecting herself. She really wants to be with Cannon but she doesn't want to loose her friendship with Allie.
This story was even funny that I found myself chuckling a time or two. So bottom line is that I loved everything about this story and wouldn't change anything about it.
This is a standalone told in a dual POV. I strongly recommend this wonderful story.
P.S. It helps to have a cover like this one because he was imprinted in my mind.
