THE ROYAL ROOMMATE
by
P.G.Van
Blurb
My purpose in life is to protect you…
Sid is Army strong and sinfully sexy. He is tasked to investigate a woman suspected of having connections with a rebel group. The style of investigation was not his choice, and he is asked to move in as the roommate of the person of interest, Amy.
Amy was thrilled to start her internship in San Francisco and wasn’t expecting a man with rock-solid abs as her roommate. The moment she laid eyes on him, she knew he was bad news.
The attraction was undeniable and they both wondered how long they could hold on to their resolve. Sid didn’t want to sleep with a suspect even if she was wildly beautiful and sexy. Amy wasn’t interested in a fling.
Just when Sid is about close his investigation and declare Amy’s innocence, he finds out something about her that changes everything. She becomes the most important person in his life.

My Review
By reading the blurb, I expected it to be a wild romance but the plot is unique too. The plot is not very beleivable with some logical gaps but it has enough twists and turns to get us glued to the book. Both Sid and Amy are 'near to perfect ' characters - kind, caring, smart, sexy and lovable. I like how the story unravels slowly in bits and pieces making the reader to think and complete the puzzle. The pace is good and i felt, it's not too fast or slow.
What i liked most are the twists and turns in the story and the romance of the couple.
I didn't like the climax as it is very predictable for me. I felt, there are some gaps in the story or a few things which are not very comvincing. Amy being a teenager don't upload any of her photos in social media, always has high security at home, her driving license doesn't show her clear face and there are no pictures of her in albums at home. Still, she doesn't doubt the intention of her parents. While her uncle protects her this much, he doesn't worry much when she has to stay with a complete stranger. Amy and Sid's relation seems to be more based on attraction to each other than love for each other. They trust each other very quickly than that is expected in real life.
The title and cover seems fine. The narration is casual and friendly with a bit of humour in the middle. Overall, It's a nice story with twists and romance.
My Rating : 3.5/5

Nice write up Mahathi.. As far as reading the blurb and review it seems to be a romantic novel than an adventurous one.
ReplyDeleteGoing by the tone of your review you dont seem too convinced by the chemistry between the two; love how you have put it that they are more attracted based on sexuality than love! Good review Ramya
