Reader Reviews
Josie (h) and Wesley's (H) romance was at times sweet and easy and other times uncertainly angsty. There's a lovely initial chemistry between them that results in a ONS that leave both wishing for more, until a surprise that Wesley's actually Josie's brother's hockey teammate and that they'll be temporary roommates while Josie is working in the area on a library grant. Because of these situations, they agree to a roomie agreement that nothing else physical can occur between them, which of course
This was one of the sweetest One Night Stand romances I've read in a while. The way Josie and Wes fell into one another had me kicking my feet. The compatibility of two strangers passing in the night but feeling so drawn to one another... it's a special kind of magic. Unfortunately, when they find out Wes is her brother's teammate and subsequently becomes her benevolent roomy, well, things get complicated. But their chemistry is comes so easy and it's harder to fight it then to just roll with it
This is my first book by Lauren Blakely, and let me just say, I had a blast reading it! 😊 The Boyfriend Goal is a delightful mix of humor, heart, and spice. Imagine getting locked out in practically nothing and then spending the night with a super-hot stranger, only to discover he’s your new roommate and your brother's teammate! Talk about awkward but thrilling! The chemistry between Josie and Wes is off the charts, and it had me giggling and swooning all at once.✧ Roommates to Lovers ✧ Teammat
