Roomies by Christina Lauren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just found Christina Lauren by reading Love and Other Words and had to find another of her books, I'm glad I found this one.

I loved the dynamic between Holland and Collin. It's a crush, it's a ruse, it's love. The characters are easy to relate to and you root for them the entire book. There are some VERY steamy parts in the book that make the book just that perfect segway from sweet to sultry. As a woman, I'd love to rumple some sheets with Collin myself. :)

As with any romance, the storyline runs on a formula:

*girl meets boy
*insert positive storyline
*insert insurmountable problem
*insert resolution
*insert HEA

Luckily the storyline, writing style, character dynamic, and steam give the formula the kick it needs to be a good book.

Review: Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren

Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an utter delight.

The story of a love that blossomed from young adulthood into the late teens and beyond. This story explores what could have been, what could be and what was meant to be. You get a glimpse of the years leading up to the characters love and their current day selves. It's a sweet (and sometimes VERY hot) story that has you rooting for love from page one.

I fell head over heels for Elliot. Smart, sexy, confident, and a man that knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go for it. I'm extremely jealous of Macy because she's loved by such a wonderful man.

I was blown away by the author's writing style, ability to convey emotions and her ability to describe things in a way that make you feel as if you were right there with the main characters. From the first page, I was hooked by how smooth everything flowed. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
