It is an awesome book. Very quick read, but entertaining. Love their sense of humor through out the book.
Just finished my ARC of Misadventures with My Roommate from Netgalley. The easy banter between Blake and Gavin makes this story so believable.. It just goes to show you how no matter how much you shut yourself off love sneaks up and bites you on the ass. Totally loved this book by Elizabeth Hayley
Blake had a troubled childhood and learn to deal with the world by using a honest, no holds approach to life. She has no filter so you never know what she is going to say or do next. Add in Gavin, a sexy, caring boyfriend/roommate that looks beyond her quirky ways and you have the makings of a funny, sex filled romance that will leave you with smile on your face.
I have read and enjoyed all but one of the "Misadventures" series. The stories have all been well written and since they all have different plots you never know what adventure awaits you in each book.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy provided by Waterhouse Press/Netgalley.
Gavin and Blake are something else. I loved how they finally came together and Gavin was able to her Blake to open up and trust him even if you are a tad crazy... They make me believe that love can really exist even if you are total opposites...
What the reader thinks is going to be another cute book about roommates hooking up is so far from the truth about this book. The relationship between Blake and Gavin was so much more. It was all about opening up, fighting your fears and doing things that matter to YOU. The characters were lovable and the storyline had much more depth than the others in the series. This was a fabulous read that I highly recommend.

For me to like a book, I have to like the lead characters, In this case, I didn't care for neither of them, Blake was not my cup of tea. From the start, I didn't care for her. And Blake was kind of blah.
Blake has worked hard to overcome her childhood. She had very few personal connections and she is totally fine with that. Gavin has put his dreams on hold after his parents stopped supporting him and is in need of a new apartment after his current roommate spent the money not on rent. Blake opens up her apartment to Gavin and soon the sparks fly. Blake makes it very clear that this is purely physical and she doesn't do relationships. What happens when one of them feels like they want something more?
I am a huge fan of all the misadventures books and this is another great addition to the series!
I loved Gavin and Blake's journey. This is a cute love story with some hot sex. Highly recommend.

While Misadventures with My Roommate is part of the "Misadventures" series, it can definitely be read as a standalone. This was my first Elizabeth Hayley book, but it certainly won't be my last. She crafted a fast-moving, humor filled book with characters you can't help but love.
Blake is a breath of fresh air. She's quirky and she has no filter between her thoughts and what comes out of her mouth, which has certainly gotten her into her share of hot water. When her current roommate announces she's moving out, Blake has to find a new one preferably fast. She tells her friend Celeste that after a long string of failures with female roommates, maybe it's time for a guy roomie.
Luckily for Blake, her co-worker at the coffee shop, Gavin, has just learned he's going to be homeless in a matter of days after his current roommate was using his rent as drug money. Needless to say he jumps at the chance to move in.
With a clear attraction between the two roommates, it becomes clear it's not a matter of "if" they sleep together, but "when" and the only thing Blake makes very clear is that it is about sex and nothing more. She doesn't do relationships. Will Gavin be the one to finally break down some of the walls that Blake has built up so high? Or will this roommate situation end just as all the previous ones have?
There was so much to love about this book. It was heartbreaking at times, but it was also full of humor and heart. You were rooting for these characters from the outset and it was one of those books that made my heart happy.
