Review – The House Mate by Kendall Ryan

*** An ARC was exchanged for an honest review. ***

The best relationships begin as friendships.

I have a huge SMILE on my face as I bask in the glow of the best BOOK BLISS rendered by Kendall Ryan! The House Mate is ROMANCE MAGIC! Flawless and fabulous! The House Mate is a sweet, sexy, swoon-filled friends-to-lovers meets employee-boss romance that leaves you melting for more.

The House Mate hijacked me where I was glued to this brilliant book. This story SEDUCED ME with sugary sweetness and I could not help but SURRENDER! The forbidden element screamed EXCITEMENT as this book BOOMED with pleasurable angst!

The first line of this addicting story SOLD ME!!! Hook. Line. Sinker. I sank into the story so deeply and never came up for air.

“In thirty-four years, I hadn’t found a woman yet who could handle me.”

I quickly thought about the 101 ways I’d handle this hotness.

Max Alexander, a single and super sexy dad, develops a friendship with his little lady’s beautiful and new nanny, Addison. Addison is a breath of fresh air and sunshine all wrapped into one pretty package, a beautiful distraction Max doesn’t need.

“I stared at her, wondering if she could see my heart beating out of my chest.”

Max made me MELT into a pool of goo from head to toe. Tall, dark, and handsome with muscles and ink, and a sweet and dirty mouth made for one MALE MASTERPIECE. Add that hotness to a doting dad and I was DONE. DONE! This super sweet and sexy single dad made me SMOLDER and SWOON so much!!!

Max is Addison’s boss and her job is on the line if she crosses the friendship line, a friendship full of sparks and ready to ignite into a firestorm.

“Whenever I looked at him it felt like I couldn’t breathe.”

Oh my SIGH! This story with swoon in spades was my UNDOING! I LOVED this love story!

Temptation is tough. So tough. That temptation turns into a kiss, a scorching and sweet kiss.

“I lunged at her, sweeping her into my arms and crushing my mouth to hers…Feeling her lips in mine, the sweet mint of her breath, the heat of her skin, it was all complete perfection.”

One kiss that rocked Max and Addison’s world. One kiss that can never happen again. An employee-boss relationship is out. Forbidden. More could ruin everything.

This book BOOMS with angst, The House Mate so forbidden and fabulous!

“I had a good thing here, and I wasn’t about to blow it over a crush.”

This story SEDUCED ME, The House Mate with its lethal combo of sweetness, smolder, and swoon. I REVELED in this romance; its smooth flow, sweetness and smolder UNRAVELED ME. I felt butterflies fluttering in my belly. I sighed from all of the swoon-filled moments. I smiled nearly the whole time reading. I was SWEPT under the spell of The House Mate, helpless to do anything except FEEL this fairy tale.

The House Mate is a tender friends-to-lovers tale that touched me HARD. A laugh-out-loud funny meets endearing tale is impossible not to ADORE! I CRUSHED on The House Mate so much! This dreamy tale is a new favorite by Kendall Ryan, a must-read romance with a destination of Cloud Nine! ❤️

What’s sexier than a bad boy? A bad ass man who’s got his shit together.
Max Alexander is nearing thirty-five. He’s built a successful company, and he’s conquered the professional world, but he’s never been lucky in love. Focusing so much time on his business and raising his daughter, adulting has come at the expense of his personal life.

His social skills are shit, his patience is shot, and at times, his temper runs hot.

The last thing he has time for is the recently single, too gorgeous for her own good young woman he hires to take care of his little girl. She’s a distraction he doesn’t need, and besides, there’s no way she’d be interested. But you know what they say about assumptions?

This is book 3 in the Roommates series, but each can be read as a complete standalone, as they feature new couples. (less)
