Book Review: Roommaid

Sariah Wilson has a new contemporary romance out called Roommaid and I was intrigued by the premise and couldn't wait to read it!

Madison Huntington has renounced her rich, manipulative family so she can live her life on her own terms. Only, that means she is trying to navigate a previously unknown world of paying rent, staying on a budget, and learning to live without servants. An opportunity comes up where she can get free room and board in exchange for cleaning the penthouse. The man who owns the penthouse is drop-dead gorgeous and not interested in relationships---which is fine with her. She can't pass up the deal and is sure she can learn how to clean---and stay in the friend-zone with her new roommate. But things don't always go as planned.

This is a cute romance with lots of fun banter and laugh out loud situations. Madison makes a lot of mistakes, but comes across really authentic as she tries to find where she belongs in the world and getting away from her overbearing family. Tyler is a swoon-worthy hero dealing with his own demons and I loved the journey to romance these two had. This story really had a depth to it that I appreciated. Ms. Wilson also does a great job with the chemistry between the hero and heroine. The plot is unique and provides a lot of fun situations that wouldn't otherwise happen. I also enjoyed getting to know Madison's friends. They added another layer to the story and I hope they get their own books! A fun afternoon read.

Here's the back copy:

Madison Huntington is determined to live her dreams. That means getting out from under her family’s wealth and influence by saying no to the family business, her allowance, and her home. But on a teacher’s salary, the real world comes as a rude awakening—especially when she wakes up every morning on a colleague’s couch. To get a place of her own (without cockroaches, mold, or crime scene tape), Madison accepts a position as a roommaid. In exchange for free room and board, all she needs to do is keep her busy roommate’s penthouse clean and his dog company. So what if she’s never washed a dish in her life. She can figure this out, right?

Madison is pretty confident she can fake it well enough that Tyler Roth will never know the difference. The finance whiz is rich and privileged and navigates the same social circles as her parents—but to him she’s just a teacher in need of an apartment. He’s everything Madison has run from, but his kindhearted nature, stomach-fluttering smile, and unexpected insecurities only make her want to get closer. And Tyler is warming to the move.

Rewarding job. Perfect guy. Great future. With everything so right, what could go wrong? Madison is about to find out.
