House Rules:

Do your own dishes

Never look up your roommate online
 
The Wheatons are infamous among the east coast elite for their lack of impulse control, except for their daughter Clara. She’s the consummate socialite: over-achieving, well-mannered, predictable. But every Wheaton has their weakness. When Clara’s childhood crush invites her to move cross-country, the offer is too tempting to resist. Unfortunately, it’s also too good to be true.

After a bait-and-switch, Clara finds herself sharing a lease with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive—not to mention handsome—for comfort, but there’s a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hadn’t looked him up on the Internet...
 
Once she learns how Josh has made a name for himself, Clara realizes living with him might make her the Wheaton’s most scandalous story yet. His professional prowess inspires her to take tackling the stigma against female desire into her own hands. They may not agree on much, but Josh and Clara both believe women deserve better sex. What they decide to do about it will change both of their lives, and if they’re lucky, they’ll help everyone else get lucky too.

  • Cute, quick read

    I like the way this book explores the issues that Clara and Josh faced and how they came together despite all that. The plot kept me locked in enough such that I think I read this book in 4 days. They are such a cute, nontoxic ship, and they are so soft for each other. And the sex scenes were okay. Though…this book is not a particularly complex read that challenges your inner thoughts or anything. (Note: the part where they do FINALLY have PIV sex was kinda underwhelming) And it is true that the ending felt anticlimactic. Very cutesy though. A cute chance encounter that changed their lives forever.💗

    Absolutely fabulous and so dang smart. Romance is crushing the patriarchy one story at a time.
  • Slow but good

    I Liked the book but almost put it down from how slow it builds but I’m glad I kept reading it because I couldn’t put it down towards the end.
  • A New Perspective

    As a 26 year-old avid reader of spicy books, I found this title to be both surprisingly sexy and brainy. Most books in this genre tend to lack plot, and overflow with sexual innuendo. Where as, this one has a pleasant balance, even with one of its sole focuses being that of an adult performer. It amped up the anticipation to make the metaphorical and physical climax of the story really pack a punch. This was an excellent read!
  • I wanted to love it but it fell short

    Was it readable? Yes. Steamy? Absolutely, but something lacked in the overall writing. I liked the characters but the plot wasn’t as developed as I wanted and the ending felt anticlimactic. Again, totally readable, but not worthy of 5 stars.
  • Love it
