The Roommate Pact

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


Claire and Graham’s story in The Roommate Pact by Allison Ashley is a friends-to-lovers and fake relationship that was a heartwarming, feel-good romance. Roommates Claire and Graham make a pact that if they are single in four years, they would act on their attraction and get together. However, all that changes when Graham gets injured in a climbing accident and breaks his leg. Claire, being the nurse she is, offers to help nurse him back to health. Graham has a cast and is bedridden; making it difficult to do anything. Claire recommends journaling, for him to write out all of what he's feeling, as a form of therapy. He decides to send emails to Claire's unused email address, where he knows she'll never read them; as she doesn't even remember the password. There was something special seeing Graham open up in these letters; telling her everything.  It shows how he's opening up his heart to her and to romance; plus it greatly helped him heal. It's so sweet and cute to read his entries. Then there was Gertrude, Graham’s Yorkie, who was so cute. It was amusing to watch her go from hating Claire to loving her.

 

This book is heartfelt, humorous, engaging and a quick read. Allison Ashley uses her knowledge of working in the medical field and brings this background into her work, and what is better than a heroine who’s a nurse and an outdoorsy firefighter hero. Claire and Graham had off the charts chemistry amazing character growth and wonderful banter. It was wonderful to see Mia and Noah, from the first book in the series. I highly recommend The Roommate Pact to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
