Kendall Ryan is back with a new book in her Frisky Business series, My Brother’s Roommate, a best friend’s little sister romance that’s filled with sweet and swoon worthy moments to keep you reading until the very end。
For Penelope Blake, her job is at the top of her priorities and that has left her without any time or desire to date。 But it’s when the company that she works for is organizing a weekend retreat that she wishes she could have a date to take with her。 Not only will it increase her chances at being seen more serious by her boss, but it will also increase her chances at getting the promotion that she has been eying for some time。 When her brother suggests for his roommate and friend, Wolfie to go with her, Penelope is afraid he is going to decline。 Yet, he quickly accepts and she couldn’t be happier。 It’s the next day at work that she blurts out that she is going to be brining her boyfriend that changes things with her and Wolfie。 There is no denying that she has always felt attracted towards Wolfie, but she knows that things can’t get serious between them。 It would take a turn of events to brings them closer and as she gets to learn about his past, the more she is risk of losing her heart in the process。
Wolfie Cox co-owns a successful business with his friends and that has kept him busy that he is not interested in having a serious relationship at all。 When he agreed to accompany Penelope to the retreat he did it for his roommate, at least that’s what he keeps telling himself。 No matter how attracted he is to her, he knows that he won’t be enough for someone like Penelope。 But when his attempts at pushing her away keep failing, he is determined to make her see the real him and hope that she accepts him and what he has to offer。
I loved reading this story, it felt different in terms of the characters and storyline。 Both of the characters have different reasons for not wanting to be in a relationship and they explore that as they get to know each other more。 Wolfie’s past was heartbreaking and we can understand why he feels a certain way about relationships and trust。 Penelope is there to help him and be his partner no matter what。 Until things change and they’re left with whether or not they can have a future together。 I loved their interaction with secondary characters, their friends and her brother。 I cannot wait to read more of Penelope’s brother, Connor, in the next book in the series。 I loved the ending, it was perfect for them and I would highly recommend reading My Brother’s Roommate if you’re looking for a sweet romance with a twist。 :)
