The Roommate Situation

Rate this book
Sexy genius Nick Clausen is completely off limits. For starters, he’s my roommate. He’s also my best friend, and I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize our relationship. Even if that means forgetting what I saw when I accidentally walked in on him naked.

Only, now I know what I’m missing out on, and it’s … a lot.

Which is why when he challenges me to a game of Truth Or Dare, I instantly pick the option where I don’t have to tell him how I really feel. No. I just have to kiss him and pretend it doesn’t mean anything.

Spoiler alert: it means everything.

This was a short, sexy, holiday (loosly) read. Makayla and Nick are best friends and roommates who end up falling in love. There's some spice and was a fun time. I personally won't reread this but it was a good time in the moment.

Short, Sweet, Spicy!

This book was so fun to read!

They met due to chance and became roommates. They both slowly fell for each other until one night he couldn’t hold back and dared her to explore the feelings brewing and the rest is history lol

Nick and Mikayla were so cute together and I really enjoyed their story ❤️❤️

A most enjoyable seasonal romantic read. New housemates with burgeoning feelings and yet confusing emotions about each other. Mistletoe magic plays a role in unwinding and clarifying these feelings.

Up first
Mistletoe Maddness by Rebecca Norinne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶🌶

Mikayla recently broke up with her fiance after catching him in bed with another woman. She finds responds to an ad of someone searching for a roommate. She meets Nick and they immediately hit it off. They become the best of friends, spending lots of time together and getting to know each other. One night Mikayla hears some strange noises coming from Nick's room and goes to make sure he's ok...what she walks in on left her speechless and created an awkward tension towards him. She stops spending time with him and becomes distant. Eventually she comes clean about what happened that night AND what happens next sends you on a ride!
Hang tight.
It was a cute quick read.

Good

I almost did not finish this story but I’m glad I stuck it through. What I thought happened didn’t actually happen! Mikyala has had a crush on her roommate for sometime now and it intensified after she saw him pleasuring himself. She tries to avoid him and give herself space but Nick seems to be hurt at her avoidance. Nick is sweet, sexy and nerdy and he isn’t about to let Mikyala run from him.

Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow/om drama. One night h thinks she hears H with ow in his room but turned out to be him watching porn loudly. Another time H said he had a date but it was a date with friends not with ow. Both are not virgins and have been celibate for a while. No abuse.

3/5 ⭐️2/5🌶️
Tropes:roommate romance, holiday romance, friends to lovers
This book was fast paced and spicy from the very first chapter. Two friends that are roommates get together after the fmc sees the mmc pleasuring himself. They are roommates and friends so it’s a little bit of a struggle so they don’t lose their friendship but this was a good fun read. Read this if you like smut or short reads or just wanna finish your goodreads goal

Ms. Rebecca did a good job with this short story. I had me laughing a lot and cheer for Milayla when we learned what happened with her ex. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a short and funny romance book.

A short holiday novella with two best friends with feelings for each other and close quarters.
There are three things you need to know about Nick Clauson: (1) he’s a genius; (2) he’s the best damn roommate a girl could ever have; and (3) he’s hung like a reindeer.

Short, sweet, and sexy (without being smutty). I love the way the relationship was developed without it being insta-lovey (though I don't mind insta-love at all) and I'm interested in reading the rest of the series now (I think it's part of a series). Either way, The Roommate Situation has convinced me that I need to read more Rebecca Norinne stat!

3.5 out of 5 wine glasses.

This is a short holiday novella. It's centered around 2 roommates who become best friends. They both have feelings for each other, but neither knows it. Nick is super smart...like he works in a lab smart, a terrific roommate, and he's got a huge...male body part. 😂 It’s quick, sweet, and smutty. Just how I like em.

short sweet and spicy

Nick and mikayla are adorable. Roommates and now beer friends. Loved watching their awkwardness and embarrassment move into confidence when they finally opened up to one another. They had amazing chemistry and make quite steamy moments for such a short novella. Loved the story.

This is a sweet and sexy little holiday read. Nick and Mikayla have been roommates for a few months when the event that changes everything happens. After that, Mikayla can't look at her roommate the same. After a game of truth or dare, she realizes that maybe he doesn't look at her the same either.

I loved the chemistry between these two. Quick read, cute story, and I loved it!

quick spicy read

The book was good however there wasn’t really much of a climax and some questions were left unanswered. If this is a prequel I’d totally be into reading the continuation.

I thoroughly enjoyed it! A quick and easy read, I couldn't help but feel second-hand embarrassment for her—haha! The storyline unfolded smoothly, with no unnecessary rush. The spicy parts were just right, and despite some taboo elements, it all added to the excitement.

A cute and short story featuring a couple of roommates who fall in lust and then love with each other.

There were a couple of previews of other books by this author, and they were interesting, I might have to pick another one up.

This was just “eh”. The description makes it seem like there’s going to be long-running doubt about how these two end up and there really isn’t. The book could also use another proof read.

Always friends

Cute roommate novel that focuses more on the relationship than the intimacy but alcohol sure does make you brave. Interesting read.
