Pleasure Reading: The Roommate by Rosie Danan

Posted January 6, 2021 by Wendy in Reviews / 1 Comment

Why Did I Read? A strict rule follower ends up rooming with a super attractive stranger who works in the adult entertainment industry. I was drawn into this premise from the beginning! My Thoughts: Clara is a straight laced rule follower who has never stepped a toe out of line.
