Clara Wheaton is the epitome of a good girl: she's a high-achieving, well-mannered, and utterly predictable New England socialite. When her long-time crush invites her to move across the country to live with him, the offer seems too perfect to resist. However, reality doesn't match her expectations. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Clara discovers that her crush has bailed on her, leaving her to share a house with a charming, and dangerously perceptive stranger named Josh. Handsome and disarming, Josh immediately unsettles Clara's carefully maintained composure.

When Clara learns about Josh's unconventional and notorious profession, she fears living with him might jeopardize the pristine reputation she’s spent years building. However, despite their differences, Clara and Josh find common ground in their belief that women deserve better sex. As they embark on a venture to redefine what sexual satisfaction means for women, Clara is thrust into a world that challenges her deepest values. What starts as a chaotic living arrangement evolves into a deep exploration of intimacy, self-discovery, and love.

The Roommate is a story that captivates with its humour, sizzling chemistry, and heartfelt moments. Andie J. Christopher calls it "laugh-out-loud funny, bananas sexy, and deeply romantic." Christina Lauren declares, "This book IS PURE JOY."

Praise for The Roommate:

"Incredible... one of my top romance reads of 2020!" says Jen Deluca, author of Well Met.

According to Evie Dunmore, author of Bringing Down the Duke, "Funny, super steamy, and surprisingly tender, The Roommate raises the bar for rom coms in 2020."

Meryl Wilsner, author of Something to Talk About, praises the book as "unapologetically sexy as hell. Danan's writing, like her characters, is funny, seductive, and full of heart."

Alexa Martin, author of Snapped, notes, "A powerful, feminist book that makes you laugh as hard as you cheer. The Roommate is sunshine in the form of a book."

"Warmly funny and gorgeously sexy, this porn-star romance is the most wholesome thing I've read in ages," says The New York Times.

Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author, calls Rosie Danan's The Roommate "seriously sexy, seriously smart."

Publishers Weekly describes it as a "wildly original and sexy romance... this delectable rom-com is both red-hot and fiercely feminist."

Popsugar claims, "One of the steamiest romances of the year. This is a downright revolutionary story about modern women owning their desire."

Entertainment Weekly celebrates the novel as, "Gloriously soft and joyful, a sex-positive manifesto inside a deliriously romantic, wickedly shameless love story."

About the Author

Rosie Danan writes steamy, big-hearted books about the trials and triumphs of modern love. When not writing, she enjoys jogging slowly to fast music, petting other people's dogs, and competing against herself in rounds of Chopped using the miscellaneous ingredients occupying her fridge. As an American expat living in London, Rosie regularly finds herself borrowing slang that doesn't belong to her.
