Roomies

This was the first book I've read from the duo Christina Lauren, and the one who ultimately made me start reading contemporary romance.

The book follows the story of Holland who works as an assistant in Broadway and has a crush on a subway music player.
Despite not having the courage to meet her dream guy, destiny interferes, and he saves her from an attacker.
Holland gets Calvin an audition with her uncle for a Broadway play and after he was chosen, discovers he's an illegal immigrant in the US.
She decides to help him, and they arrange a marriage of convenience which will allow Calvin to stay and reach his dream job.

Despite not being a truly original concept, the book is well written, and the writers have an incredible ability to grab your attention to the story. I became immediately engaged with the book characters and invested in their happy ending.
