I know this is Elena's debut, but I read two of her other books before reading this one and it is hands down my favorite book.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVED The Long Game and The FiancĂ© Dilemma.  But Aaron? Oh my, Aaron might be in my top 10 MMCs of all time.  I loved him.  I was sad that it wasn't dual POV, but the book absolutely would not have had the same vibe, very a la Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison.  Aaron is a man obsessed with Lina, having a perspective into his noggin would have given it all away.  I loved how tender he is with her, like a snuggly little (massive) bear.  

I also really loved the way the book started.  Usually when you have a fake dating trope, it's sort of in the first 30% where they are figuring that out.  This went straight in and I loved that, it felt very fresh.

I'm excited to keep reading Elena Armas and can't wait to dive into the American Roommate Experience.
