The Roommate Risk
Ratings15
Average rating4.1
From New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert comes an electric, domestic, roommates-to-lovers romance between a whirlwind party girl and her uptight best friend… Jasmine Allen believes in bad luck, great wine, and the seductive power of a stiletto heel. What she doesn’t believe in is love. Her life is perfect without all that romance rubbish—until a plumbing disaster screws everything up and leaves Jas homeless. Luckily, she has someone to turn to: her best friend Rahul. For seven years, Rahul Khan has followed three simple rules. - Don’t touch Jasmine if you can help it. - Don’t look at her arse in that skirt. - And don’t ever—ever—tell her you love her. He should’ve added another rule: Do not, under any circumstances, let Jas move into your house. Now Rahul is living with the friend he can’t have, and it’s decimating his control. He knows their shared dinners aren’t dates, their late-night kisses are a mistake, and the tenderness in Jasmine’s gaze is only temporary. One wrong word could send his skittish best friend running. So why is he tempted to risk it all? This book was previously published as Wanna Bet?. The Roommate Risk is a steamy, standalone, diverse romance. This book is 75,000 words of fluff, angst, and extreme pleasure, with NO cliffhangers, NO cheating, and a guaranteed HEA. Please be aware: this story contains themes of parental neglect and abandonment, parental death, and alcohol dependence that could trigger certain audiences.

The slow burn was a little bit too slow for me in this one, which isn't something I usually say. I also feel like the book took too long to reveal the source of Jasmine's commitment issues (though to be fair, they were alluded to throughout). I really liked how everything wasn't completely perfect at the end, but Jasmine and Rahul were both trying. This isn't quite as delightful as the Brown Sisters series, but it's Talia Hibbert and she won't let you down.

This book was hella raw and emotional, not gonna lie.
I've been debating for a while, whether or not to give it 5⭐️, because there was just one thing that made me want to go mad, but I decided it wasn't of enough importance overall.
It's my first time reading Talia Hibbert and I loved how she writes. Specially how she wrote Rahul. WHAT A BOOK BOYFRIEND Y'ALL. I need more writers writing men like that.
That boy lived and breathed for one person, and one person only. And honestly? Who wouldn't wish they were Jas, I definitely did.
The only perk I could find was that I couldn't stand people ignoring the fact that Jas had problems.
It's a pet-peeve of mine I've realised. I like to call people on their bullshit, and I hater, HATED, how all her friends were like, okay, dangerous territory, better not talk about that.
NO. MAKE HER TALK ABOUT IT, GODDAMNIT. Homegirl was drowning in all her unspoken thoughts, and all of them saw it, AND NONE OF THEM DID NOTHING. UGH.
That's it. That was the thing driving me mad. But then I remember Rahul and I just can't, I cannot give the book 5⭐️. So there you have it.
