Publisher Description

From subway to Broadway to happily ever after. Modern love in all its thrill, hilarity, and uncertainty has never been so compulsively readable as in New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren’s Roomies.

Marriages of convenience are so...inconvenient.

For months Holland Bakker has invented excuses to descend into the subway station near her apartment, drawn to the captivating music performed by her street musician crush. Lacking the nerve to actually talk to the gorgeous stranger, fate steps in one night in the form of a drunken attacker. Calvin Mcloughlin rescues her, but quickly disappears when the police start asking questions.

Using the only resource she has to pay the brilliant musician back, Holland gets Calvin an audition with her uncle, Broadway’s hottest musical director. When the tryout goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway—until his reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he’s in the country illegally, his student visa having expired years ago.

Seeing that her uncle needs Calvin as much as Calvin needs him, a wild idea takes hold of her. Impulsively, she marries the Irishman, her infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves and Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway—in the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting—will Holland and Calvin to realize that they both stopped pretending a long time ago?

I needed more

This book was good… not great. I wanted to love it but I just needed more. It felt almost rushed, like half the story was just skimmed over.

Meh…their love never seemed real

Meh… there were some great points and quotes that really had me thinking…but they had lackluster chemistry. SPOILERS!!!!!! Stop reading if you don’t want to know…last warning…ok. Once they slept together for the first time, they lost me. It was so unromantic and depressing and all the “real” love scenes after seemed cheap. There was chemistry on some pages, but how they finally came together as a real couple seemed pathetic. Both were too immature to handle a relationship…let alone a marriage. And they not grew from their immaturity. They kept making silly mistakes and saying and doing the wrong thing. Them having blackout drunk sex ruined the entire story for me—it could have been redeemed, but the authors dropped the ball on this one. Great idea, but the 2nd half of the book didn’t do it for me at all.
