Synopsis: Weeks after no one acceptable has answered Rory's ads for a female roommate in Irvine, California, a professional woman from London offers to pay six months' rent upfront. The term is shorter than Rory had hoped for but better than nothing. And she seems friendly.
On moving day, Peter shows up with a letter from his sister. The agreement has to be canceled because of a sudden illness. For Rory, that means staying on the top ramen diet for a while longer while again searching for a roommate. But then she is caught between a rock and a hard place when Peter offers to continue the agreement since he needs a place to live while stepping up to replace his sister in the family business. Against the promise Rory made to have a female roommate only, she accepts the offer.
Rory was born out of wedlock and then orphaned, growing up with her strict and old-fashioned aunt. Peter was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and little or no responsibility. She is a naive, impulsive young woman. He is an unruly young man, suddenly having to shoulder significant family responsibilities. While learning to coexist, Rory discovers one of his secrets, only to learn later that a different secret would be used to ruin her life.
Review: For the most part I really enjoyed this book. The romance is fun and it’s an easy read. The book has well developed characters and terrific world building. The book is also a super quick read and the plot keeps the book moving.
The only issue I had with the book is the pacing. The book is really slow in the beginning and it was a little struggle to continue with the book. However, after that the book did well for the remainder of it.
Verdict: It’s good!
