Jessica and Rosalind have had a BFF Chip since 7th grade--the ultimate best friend favor. At age 25, Ros calls in her chip. Her brother lands in an hour. And he needs a place to crash. For more than one night. No problem, right? It's not Patrick's fault his big sister forgot he was moving to L.A., so Jess picks him up at LAX, expecting the same slight and nerdy boy she last saw in high school.
Patrick's still a nerd--coming for a new IT job--but he's all grown up and more gorgeous than any best friend's little brother has a right to be. Jess makes a concerted effort to see him as a friend, but it's difficult when he walks around her apartment in only a towel. When Ros completely bails on them, Jess proposes pooling their money into a two-bedroom and officially becoming roommates. Patrick is polite, sweet, clean, and cooks. What could go wrong?
Jess could fall in love with him.
This story is intended for readers over the age of 18 due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations. West Coast Soulmates #3.
The Roommate West Coast Soulmates #3 edition by Carla Krae Contemporary Romance eBooks
Jessica has been living in L.A. the past three years since graduating from university, and during that time she has been happily reunited with her best friend since seventh grade, Rosalind, who had previously attended a different university than Jessica. Though they are quite close and enjoy each other's company, the two friends are very different. Jessica's idea of a good time on a Friday night after a long week as an office worker is to loll around on her couch, watching a movie on DVD while consuming popcorn, pizza and soda. Extroverted Rosalind, on the other hand, is much more of a party animal, and she's very rarely been able to convince Jessica to join her in her partying adventures.Out of the blue one day Rosalind phones Jessica to call in their "BFF chip," a pact they made in middle school, the gist of which is that when the chip is called in, the BFF must agree to grant the requested favor as it is understood to be an absolute emergency. Rosalind is out of town and cannot keep her promise to pick up her brother Patrick at LA International Airport in an hour. He was only given three days notice to show up for his first real IT job since completing his masters degree in computer science, and her work schedule has made it impossible for her to keep her word. She also cannot offer him her couch to crash on for a few weeks until he can get his own place because her apartment building has been temporarily condemned and evacuated. She begs Jessica to also house her brother until Rosalind can help him make other arrangements.
Jessica hesitates only a moment before agreeing to everything. At the airport, a huge shock awaits her. It's been seven years since she last saw Patrick, just before she left for college, when he was 17 and she was 18. On the outside, the only thing familiar now about "little Ricky" is his curly, brown hair, his thick-framed glasses and his quiet, introverted demeanor. In the intervening years, he's grown half a foot, bulked up, and become a "hunk of hotness too yummy to be real." Not only that, Jessica soon discovers that he's an old-fashioned gentleman who is unfailingly considerate and polite, a fabulous cook, and a tidy and unobtrusive roommate. In other words, he's Mr. Ideal Man whom any young woman, most especially our heroine, would be ecstatic to date. Unfortunately, as her BFF's younger brother, he's forbidden fruit for Jessica. She's constantly worried that she will embarrass him and humiliate herself by failing to hide from him the drooling crush on him that she developed from the moment they met, a lustful fascination which only grows stronger with every enticing moment she spends with him.
This is a fairly short book, but it flows well and feels satisfying and complete. I really enjoyed Jessica and Patrick, who are both very sympathetic characters. I particularly liked Patrick. What a delightful change in a New Adult (NA) romance to encounter a metrosexual, Beta male as the hero! He has no tattoos, doesn't use foul language, is respectful of women, and absolutely is **not** a typical, promiscuous NA romantic hero. There is no sex scene in the book until the very end, and it is done with great sensitivity and is highly emotional rather than simply being crude. In other words, the sex works as it ideally ought to in a romance novel by contributing with deep emotion to the building romantic relationship. This, too, is very refreshing, since the vast percentage of NA romances seem to be nothing but a series of gratuitous, crude, sex scenes with very little plot holding them together.
It was also nice to read a NA romance set somewhere besides a university campus. There are no "F bombs" from any of the characters, and no wild, frat-boy type parties. In fact, there is only one scene in which the heroine gets drunk, and it is clearly a major aberration in her normal life. The hero in that situation is her designated driver and caretaker, and does not drink at all in the book.
Because this is a very short, contemporary romance, there were not a lot of subcharacters who existed beyond being simple "walk-on" characters with no lines. However, the subcharacters that are in the plot serve important purposes, such as Confidant and Antagonist, and they are well drawn.
This novel is written in first person point of view, past tense. Though most NA romance novels these days also give the hero's point of view, in this case, because the book is so short, not knowing what Patrick is thinking adds to Jessica's conflict and suspense about how he feels about her and as such, works well.
I am happy to report that this is a standalone novel with no cliffhanger ending. In fact, it is a classic romance novel in that there is a HEA (happily ever after) ending.
I rate this book as follows:
Heroine: 4 stars
Hero: 5 stars
Subcharacters: 4 stars
Setting: 4 stars
Romance plot: 4 stars
Writing: 4 stars
Overall: 4 stars

The Roommate West Coast Soulmates #3 edition by Carla Krae Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews
Jessica and Rosalind have been friends since kindergarten. In the seventh grade they made a BFF chip, that meant the other person had to help no matter what. Years later Ros uses the chip, she needs Jess to go pick up her brother Patrick at the airport and let him stay with her till Ros gets back. No problem, but when Jess sees grown up Patrick her body betrays her. Will these two be great roommates? Or will it be more? Great read.
Will make you smile, in a school girl crush, kind of way. Really refreshing male and female characters.
Welcoming
I read a lot and it is difficult to find a book where the characters and situations seem real. This book very much accomplished that and I enjoyed reading it a lot. Would definitely recommend!
Another great book by Carla Krae. This is a sweet book. When you start reading, you don't want to put it down.
This story was great — super sweet (not quite saccharine) and realistic. Well written, although there are a few grammar mistakes/typos to overlook (you're for your, etc.). My one complaint is the ending and epilogue, which just felt rushed. Definitely recommend this book, though.
