The Roommate Pact

De: Allison Ashley

Narrado por: Ann Marie Gideon

All of the fun, none of the heartache…as long as they stick to the agreement.

The proposition is simple: if ER nurse Claire Harper and her roommate, firefighter Graham Scott, are still single by the time they’re forty, they’ll take the proverbial plunge together…as friends with benefits. Maybe it’s the wine, but in the moment, Claire figures the pact is a safe-enough deal, considering she hasn’t had much luck in love and he’s in no rush to settle down. Like, at all. Besides, there’s no way she could ever really fall for Graham and his thrill-seeking ways. Not after what happened to her father…

Just as things begin to heat up way before the proposed deadline, Graham’s injured in a serious rock-climbing accident—and he needs Claire’s help to heal. She’ll do whatever it takes to nurse him back to health…even if it means moving into Graham’s bed and putting up with his little dog who hates her. But with this no-strings arrangement taking a complicated turn, keeping “for now” from turning into “forever” isn’t as easy as they’d planned.

It’s a cute read . Not like the best book ever written , but it’s good.

Lots a quick listen and the story and plot are not that bad . They are cute and they will take you out of a reading slump .

Dialogue

Witty, likable characters with effervescent dialogue. Just the right amount of heat while keeping it closed door.

A fun love story

This was an unexpected delight to read. A fun love story with a great, well thought out characters, a great build up. I enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to reading more from this author.

Cute

This story was very cute and I liked both main characters. I wish it had been written in dual POV but it was still a good read. I was definitely rooting for them!

Light and good listen

Storyline was good. It dragged a bit at points but it’s a cute friend to lovers/parters story.

Predictable

Admittedly, I am a male so my perspective may be different. Felt a little too cliche for me. Some of the character development was very good. Writing was good with the details without being bogged down in them.

This is the kind of love story that I enjoy

Frenemies to being in love, even though they both had big issues. I liked the six scenes with left to the imagination rather than like extremely graphic books.
Excellent narration

Friends to lovers

I listened to the book in one day! Narrator was great and book has a cute story with a happy ending! Would definitely listen to it again!

Firefighter 👨‍🚒 roommate…of course

Friends for a decade, roommates for a couple of that and then you find love. Of course, you would. Not the traditional meet cute story and that’s what I liked about it. How often do longtime friends become more? A lot. It’s good to have a storyline play that out.

Better than the author's first book

This is better than the author's first book. I would say that the first half is stronger than the last half. Graham is such a sweetheart. However, it's weird that this is a FWB situation and the intimate scenes (which also got them closer) are fade-to-black. How Claire's issue was resolved also felt weak/like a cop out to me. Great narrator and banter though!
