Synopsis
Having had an especially troubling childhood, Blake’s aware she doesn’t exactly fit the definition of “normal.” Her lack of filter, dry sense of humor, and uncanny ability to read people make her rather unique—and difficult to live with. When her latest roommate has had enough of her antics, Blake decides living with a man might suit her better.
Gavin Gibson’s a dreamer whose artsy aspirations don’t meet the high expectations of his wealthy family. Cast off and cut off, Gavin needs a place to live. When he’s invited to share Blake’s quaint apartment, he cannot pass it up. With a knack for spotting the good in others, Gavin can see past Blake’s quirks—and neither of them can ignore their sexual chemistry.
As sparks fly, their genuine affection for each other grows, and Gavin begins to break down Blake’s defenses. But can Blake open up to reveal the damage she’s worked so hard to conceal?

Elizabeth Hayley is actually "Elizabeth" and "Hayley," two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands' chagrin).
"Elizabeth" lives with her husband, daughter, and nutjob of a dog. "Hayley" lives with her husband, son, and her own crazy dog. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.
Elizabeth Hayley's writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: "I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind."
***** MY REVIEW ****
“Misadventures with My
Roommate” by Elizabeth Hayley is book Ten in the "Misadventures"
series. Blake had a emotional childhood that has left her with
walls around her heart yet she has a quirky attitude that helps her get thru
life. When her current roommate tells her she is moving out, Blake has
to get a new roomie and fast. She finds one – her coworker Gavin from the
coffee shop. Gavin is in a bind and needs to find a new place and fast
due to his situation. So Gavin quickly jumps at the chance to be Blake’s new roommate.
There is an immediate chemistry between the new roommates but Blake lets it be
known she isn’t looking for any relationship, just sex and nothing more.
Can Gavin show Blake he is all in and is serious about her and their
relationship?
I liked the premise of the
story and the characters but felt Blake came off as too harsh at times. I liked
Gavin and how he reached out to Blake and their chemistry was great. I also liked
the secondary characters. This is a lovely roommates to lovers story that is at
times heartbreaking and other times heartwarming and sizzling.
My Rating: 4.4 stars *****
“I received an advanced
copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
