🍭 ABOUT 🍭


Goldilocks has gotten a bit off track. I found her in my room, my bathroom and my bathtub to be precise.


Sabrina Mason is my new roommate. My new unwelcome roommate. Not that I have a say about it since I'm babysitting my Grandma's apartment, which means Sabrina's here to stay. But we'd agreed my room was off limits.

It’s bad enough my nightmares are getting worse, but having her around me makes holding it together. Her smell, smart mouth and sexy a--anyway. I can’t let her get under my skin although it might be too late. In her sloppy bun and pajamas curled up on the couch, she’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. But a relationship isn’t what I need right now.

It’s hard to remember that when she’s glowering at me when I’m being an ass. We’re forced to live together for only a few more month, I can hold out until I can’t.

She’s in my bathtub and she’s not telling me to leave. So I ask the question, “do you want me to go?”

And I’m shocked as hell when her answer isn’t ‘no’.

🍭 EXCERPT 🍭


He set his blazer down on the counter and slipped off his cuff links. “You don’t need to hop out.”



Goose bumps rose on my whole body, tightening my flesh even in the warm bath. “I don’t?”


“Only if you want to.” He stared at me, and there was a flicker in his eyes like he’d made a decision.


My stomach flipped, straight into a back handspring. “I don’t?”


The corner of his lips lifted. “Was that a question?” He rolled his sleeve from the cuff, folding the pressed white fabric higher up his arm, exposing the tanned and sinewy forearms. Veins, tendons, muscle.


“No. I just got in, but I wasn’t expecting an audience.” Had the heat kicked on? Because my skin not submerged in the water didn’t feel the slightest bit chilled. It felt closer to super-heated as his gaze swept over me.


“You’re driving me absolutely crazy.”


Standing beside the tub, towering over me, he could see my body beneath the water.


A shiver skated along my skin.


“In a good way?” My body was on high alert, vibrating in a wanton way where the water teased and taunted body parts like I wanted his fingers to.


“In the worst way.” He finished with his second sleeve, never taking his eyes off me. Eyes blazing with a carnal passion that sent shock waves through me. “Do you want me to leave?”





This was a fun story that I gobbled right up.

Sabrina broke up with her boyfriend and needed a place to live so her grandmothers friend offered her a room in her penthouse apartment but there was one catch, her grandson lived in the apartment too. No biggie right, you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours...well things don't go as easily as Sabrina had hoped it would.

Hunter and his friends co-own a business, SWANK, his part is the music end of things which is how this book loosely ties into THE FALLING TRILOGY that was recently released by Maya. Hunter has a lot of secrets and keeps himself closed off from just about everyone so when Sabrina barges into his life he isn't ready for it and he also isn't happy about it.

To say that Sabrina and Hunter got off to a rough start would be an understatement but I loved the way they had an attraction underneath it all. As we watch the walls tumble from around Hunter and also Sabrina's hearts we are gifted with two people that find what they need in one another.

I really enjoyed Hunter and Sabrina's story but I am sooo anxiously awaiting The Second Chance Set Up which will bring this series and the Falling Trilogy more intertwined. 

If you enjoy Steamy New Adult Romances, Contemporary Romances, Curvy Girl Romances, or the Roommates to Lovers trope I would recommend this book to you.

Happy Reading!!!
