Roommate
Roommate | Sarina Bowen

Wanted: One roommate to share a 3-bedroom house, split the rent, and ideally not be the guy I can't stop thinking about. I'm a man with too many secrets, so the last thing I need is a new roommate with a sexy smile and blue eyes that see right through me. Eight years ago, Roderick left town after high school. We're not friends. I owe him nothing. But back then, I let one of my secrets slip, and he's the only one who noticed. Part of me knows I should run far, far away. But the other part wants him to come upstairs and spend the night. But if I let him in, I could lose everything. Seeking: a room to rent in town. I'm tidy, have no pets, and I will feed you homemade bread. I should probably add: Gay AF, and has no filter. It's no wonder my new landlord is so wary of me. A smarter man would ignore those hot glances from the Kieran Shipley. The broody lumberjack wants more from me than another fresh-baked pretzel. But if I push my luck, I'll end up back on the street.Too bad I've never been smart with my heart...

#ThingsInCommon #LGBTQBookBingo square: baking.

A “gay AF“ baker with no filters and a confused farmer/artist so full of secrets he rarely talks make an unexpectedly sweet couple. I really liked both characters.

CarolynM I like Sarina Bowen a lot. This one was good🙂 14mo
Whollybologna Looks like wine could be another connection. ❤️ 14mo

Fleeing a bad relationship, Roddy Waite returns to his home town where he gets a job as a baker in a coffee shop and lodges with a coworker who is leaving the family farm to become a graphic designer.

Despite it being the first in a series following different characters but all set in Vermont, I didn't feel any sense of place. It could have been anywhere. Still, it was an enjoyable quick read that didn't need any great powers of concentration.

Reggie Yes! It was totally equivalent of a really good potato chip. Lol gets you through to the next meal. I‘m glad you liked it. 2y
rwmg @Reggie The only thing was whenever Roddy started whittering on about lumberjacks my mind immediately went to Monty Python's Lumberjack Song, which I don't think was what he really had in mind 2y

Roderick has moved back to Vermont after he left his, in the closet, Country superstar boyfriend. He needs a job which he gets at a bakery. He needs a place to stay which he gets by way of his moody coworker Kieran. This was good and angsty, and cute when Roderick teaches Kieran how to cook. But can Roderick, who describes himself as gay AF, survive going back into another closet for love? Good stuff. 👇🏼

Reggie Sarina Bowen actually opened up a small press that publishes books that are all queer romance set around this queer bar and bookshop in this world she created in Roommate. 2y
Twainy Reggie! It feels like forever! Good to see you. 😁🤗 2y

rwmg I was intrigued enough to look at the author's website. I was a bit dubious when I started the free first chapter but by the end of it I was hooked. Added to my Scribd TBR list. 2y

I think a great book has perfectly flawed characters that grow and change. And this book was such a beautiful example of that.

Roderick and Kieran are both messed up in their own ways. Roderick left town years ago when his parents kicked him out for being gay. He‘s back in his hometown after leaving a disaster of a relationship that makes him question his own importance.

Lauren_reading Kieran just wants to be respected for his own choices and to escape a father he believes hates him. Kieran doesn‘t really know who he is or what he wants, but Roderick has him pushing for what he needs and standing up for what he wants. 3y
CarolynM Love Sarina Bowen. This is a good one🙂 3y

Loved this. M/M romance with ❤️🔥 and 🍞. Pity Sarina Bowen has an established cover style - this could have been #BakedGoodsOnCover for #Booked2021😂

Lizpixie The 🍞 part is boggling my mind! (edited) 3y
CarolynM @Lizpixie So, you'd be disappointed if I told you one of the MCs is a baker?😂 3y
