Story
Mascen Wade, star pitcher of the Aldridge University baseball team, is a lot of things. Rich. Hotter than sin. The campus’ reigning bad boy. We knew each other once upon a time, but even if I’m named after a princess, it doesn’t mean my life is a fairy tale. My plan is to keep my head down, get my degree, and leave this town. But the moment Mascen Wade recognizes me, all my carefully laid plans come crumbling down. He’s decided he wants to make my life a living hell, but I’m not so easy to push around.

I’m good at hiding my feelings. Having to pretend I’m not in love with my best friend? Pfft. That’s child’s play. Here’s how I do it: I avert my eyes when he walks out of his room, shirtless in all his toned glory. I squash the butterflies that fill my stomach every time he slowly unfurls a dimpled smile. Not to brag, but Aiden Smith isn’t hard to resist if you’ve been doing it for as long as I have. In fact, we might have continued as best friends forever if not for the fact that I needed him to play the part of my fake boyfriend.

Darling Arrow, I shouldn’t be writing this. It’s not as if I’m ever going to send you this letter, and there are a million reasons why. First of all, I was sent to this reform school as a punishment for a petty, totally inconsequential crime. Not to ogle the principal’s hot son around the campus. Second of all, you’re a giant jerk. You’re arrogant and moody and so cold. Sometimes, I think I shouldn’t even like you.

There are a few things you should know about my brother’s roommate. Wolfie Cox is complicated, and incredibly sexy. Unfortunately, he has an impressive stick lodged so far up his ass, he’s about as emotionally available as a chinchilla. Actually, that might be an insult to the chinchilla community. So, naturally, I want to ride him like a bicycle.

When Wren Jacobi sets eyes on Wolf Hall Academy’s newest inductee, all he sees is an easy mark. A reserved little girl with a target painted on her back. He knows nothing of my troubled past, though. Nothing of my mother’s suspicious death or the horrific treatment I’ve had to endure at the hands of my psychotic father. And he has no idea of the lengths that I, unassuming little Elodie Stillwater, will go to in order to break the savage beast who dreams of breaking me first.

I’d sworn off men. And then I met Nick Christiansen. Technically, I fell for him, literally, the moment I landed in his quarterback-sized arms and looked into those soulful eyes. I blame the rum. Or was it tequila? Spoiler alert: It was those delectable dimples. Either way, Nick was stupidly handsome and ridiculously charming. He held me like he cared and listened to me like I mattered. Captivated by great conversation and rock-hard abs, Nick had me reconsidering the “No Men” promise I’d made myself. I still regret walking away the next day.

This project is important to my Russian boss, the broody, mouthwateringly sexy Vlad, a.k.a. the Impaler. There’s only one solution: Test both the software and the hardware myself...with his help.

He walked into school on his first day and owned it. I guess that's what happens when you're a prick, rich, and you're best friends with the ruling school's king. Also didn't hurt that he's drop-dead gorgeous. That's all fine. I mean, I have nothing to do with them. I'm a loner, invisible, and that's how I wanted it to be. I was even proud of it, until I wasn't. His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson. He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention. I knew how to do everything but that. And this is our story.

Publisher's Summary
Wanted: a roommate.
Requirements:
- Don’t be a smoker. That’s gross.
- Don’t be a jerk. I have no time to deal with your mood swings.
- Clean up after yourself. Is it really so hard to put dirty clothes where they belong?
If you meet these qualifications, call me.
Sincerely,
Desperately Seeking Roommate
When I put the ad in my university’s newspaper, the last thing I ever expect is for the star football player to respond. From what I know of him, Abel Russo is a womanizer and an absolute jerk.
Sadly, he’s the only thing stopping me from being evicted by my annoyingly gleeful landlord. It should be easy enough - there’s no chance we’ll fall for each other. But then he gives me lingering looks, and I might just be looking back.
All I wanted was a roommate, but I’m about to get so much more than I bargained for.

So much fun!
The audio narration on this one is really good! The narrator does a really good job with portraying the story!
I have a claim on Abel Russo and there is absolutely nothing y'all can do about it. Back off ladies, he's mine!
Lou is in desperate search for a roommate for her 2-bedroom college apartment after her sleazy landlord raises the rent. Abel is in desperate search for a new place to live after his roommate moves his girlfriend in. It seems like fate just might have some ideas for these two.
I absolutely loved this book. I loved the fun and quirkiness in this adorable romance. Abel is an absolute cinnamon roll. He is super sweet and loving. Lou is so amazing. She is unashamed to be who she is. She is this amazing curvy woman. She is quirky and weird and totally okay with that. I loved that Abel is just accepting of her and she is accepting of him. I love that the people around her are super supportive as well. There are so many stories with plus size heroines where the people around her are not supportive of who she is and are wanting her to change. I loved that the people around Lou accept her for who she is and are not trying to change her. I did want more of her friends and more of Abel’s friends. It almost seemed as if they were the only ones sometimes.
But overall, this book was so amazing! I absolutely loved it!

Quirky and witty... laugh out loud fun!
A new-to-me author and narrator, I can’t express how much I loved this romantic comedy! Lou is looking for a roommate and has quite an interesting list of qualifications/rules. When fate sends Abel, Mr. Popular football player, her way the stars have aligned because they are the best opposites attract, perfect-for-each-other couple! I love that Lou and her bestie are not portrayed as “barbie dolls” but rather flaunt their curves, love to eat and are totally confident in who they are. Their personalities, especially Lou’s, had me laughing out loud with all the quirky and witty things she say and do. This friends-to-lovers romance was hilarious, but it also had sweet and honest moments and very relatable issues of acceptance and trust that comes along with new love. Because of Lou, I will always strive to be a pink Starburst! Narrated by Addison Barnes, she was so entertaining and gave so much life and personality to Lou, as well as her vast array of voices for the secondary characters. It truly was such a fun and entertaining listening experience.

Where do I start??? Abe and Lou are just amazing!!! They are my new favourite couple, I just loved there chemistry, right from the start I was just gripped.
Lou was the kind of person that I could see myself being friends with. She was just her self and didn’t care what thought of her.
Abe is a totally babe!!! How he was with his family was just to adorable!
This is a book that you should definitely read!! The characters are amazing and once again Micalea does it again. She has just written the best love story from start to end

I enjoyed it
Desperately Seeking Roommate was a sweet, hilarious RomCom that will leave you amused. This friends to lovers or should I say roommates to lovers college romance was heart-warming, sexy and at times steamy with lots of sassy banter that I really did enjoy. I loved the main characters and the side characters. Quirky, over the top, swoony they had it all. My only issue with the story was that the h fell for the "trap" too easily when it was obviously a setup. I would recommend this story to those looking for a light, easy read.
I listened to the audible version of this story which was narrated by Addison Barnes. Addison's portrayal of the male voice was excellent and I enjoyed it, however the female's voice felt young and it took me a while to get used to it. However after a while I did enjoy the narration.
