I am delighted to feature another fun romcom from Camilla Isley<\/b>. The Roommate Experiment<\/i> was published by Boldwood Books<\/b> on May 25th.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
Could there be room for attraction?<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hunter has secretly been in love with her best friend\u2019s
\nbrother Dylan for years, despite barely registering as a blip on his radar.
\nShe\u2019s not even in the friend zone\u2014more like friend zone adjacent. But her luck
\nis about to change: Dylan is taking over her spare room, and she’s being
\npromoted to roommate. Could this be the moment Dylan finally notices her?<\/span><\/p>\n

Not so fast. When Dylan moves in, he carries more than just
\nboxes\u2014he brings complications. Suddenly, the dream of living under the same
\nroof turns into a daily struggle. Dylan is off-limits, for reasons Hunter
\ncouldn\u2019t have anticipated, and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to
\nignore her feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Hunter\u2019s determined to keep her heart in check\u2014no matter
\nhow difficult the task. She just has to avoid ogling him in a towel. Definitely
\ndon\u2019t imagine what\u2019s under the towel. And try not to swoon when he bakes
\ncookies.<\/span><\/p>\n

But after he saves her from a terrible date and they\u2019re
\nforced to share a sofa bed at his parents\u2019 house, her emotions reach a breaking
\npoint. She\u2019ll have to either move on or move out. Will she tell him the
\ntruth\u2014or lose him forever?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Roommate Experiment is a roommates-to-lovers, forced
\nproximity, STEMinist rom-com perfect for fans of Lynn Painter, Sarah Adams, and
\nAbby Jimenez.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a highly entertaining read which returns to a group of friends that readers of Camilla Isley’s books will have met before. In this story, we are introduced to Hunter a career woman who has hidden her feelings about a friend’s brother since she was a teenager. Now they are out together into the same flat as Dylan becomes her new roommate after her two close friends have moved out. As the story alternated between Hunter and Dylan’s point of <\/b>view, you see how feelings develop. Friendship is an important element of the story and they are both afraid of affecting their wider friendship group.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 For a large part of the story, Hunter has to watch as Dylan has a girlfriend. He in turn spends an awful long time trying to do what he feels is the right thing. At times, you wish that he would be firmer but he does emerge as a likable and kind person. There are plenty of amusing moments in the story and a good variety of characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In short: friends to lovers\u00a0
