The Reluctant Roommate

One luxury house, two bickering roomies, and a plan to make life right. A lighthearted, opposites attract lesbian romance.

Financial advisor Morgan Favola is living large: cool job, gorgeous house, and a swanky lifestyle—with the bills to match. When she’s abruptly fired, she needs a roommate fast.

Easygoing Australian bartender Heidi Lincoln’s dream life with her American girlfriend implodes and she ends up alone in Denver. Now she needs a new plan and, more urgently, a place to live.

Moving in with Morgan seems a perfect solution. Except Heidi has nothing in common with the uptight, icy neat-freak who doesn’t have a hair or teaspoon out of place. Worse, the woman is difficult, hard to avoid, and…distractingly attractive. Okay, that last part was definitely not in her plan. Nope, not at all…

M the Avid Reader

I didn’t plan to read this book in a single day but kept coming back to it, reading a few chapters then going off to do something else before gravitating back to read some more.

Tempe Luvs Books
I would tag this book as a very romantic opposites attract, humorous story with a lot of sexual tension, and smoking hot!
Henriette

I loved how Cheyenne Blue directed the clash of personalities and the clash of cultures: it was fun to see how Heidi is adulting and Morgan becoming more human. I was not sure about a non-Australian setting by Cheyenne Blue, but no worries: Vegemite to the rescue!
This was a relaxed, low-angst, lovely romance with a good helping of hotness.
