I really liked this romance between Mo and August.

The story was sweet, heartwarming, angsty, steamy and Mo and August were just so cute and meant to be.
This is an opposites attract/reluctant roommates romance and one of the things that annoyed me a little was that Their opposites were kind of to exaggerated.
He ate very healthy, she definitely didn’t. He was grumpy, she was sunshine and happy. He was mr. clean, her not so much.
But it was very sweet the way she got him to open up and find his way to happiness and his grovel at the end was so perfect and just swoon.......yes go August.

This is the third and final story about the three friends who owns a wedding planner business and finds love in Denver “The Mile High City”. And Mo has been a favorite of mine throughout the series because she was not afraid to say what she meant and she was funny and spread joy all around her. She just wanted the best for everyone she knows and loves.
And I am just so happy that she found her HEA with August.

I can definitely recommend this book.

I got this book from Entangled Publishing and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book should have been named pineapple pizza and protein shakes!!! If you want to know why read the book you will quickly understand . At first I liked August but he quickly got on my nerves he came across whiny and I was so over him and felt that Mo could do better. Mo is hands down someone who was easy to love social butterfly comes to mind immediately and she’s just a bright spot in everyone’s life who she encounters. She was so fun to read about I swear I could see her as a friend if she wasn’t fictional, she totally made this book. This book does have curse words and adult situations so may not be suitable for all readers. Over all fun read.

The Roommate Problem by Mariah Ankenman is book Three in the Mile High Happiness Series. This is the story of August Porter and Moira “Mo” Rossi. I haven't read the previous books yet, so for me this was a standalone book. August has come down to help his grandmother with her flower shop and his grandmother has made arrangements for Mo to give her spare bedroom to him to rent. August thinks he will be leaving with a man so to his shock he finds that Mo is a women. In addition to that surprised, August wants his grandmother to sell her flower shop and retire. So there is some sneaking around between Mo and his grandmother to make he want to stay and help run the shop. Mo and August are very much attracted which they start to experience with on a temporary situation. Enjoyed their story.

This was a very enjoyable read. I flew throught it and only read it in two sittings because I started it on a Sunday evening and had to work the next day, but it could be easily read in one sitting. I was already half in love with Mo from the previous book in the series, so it was amazing to have her be at the forefront in this one. I really loved both her and August, they felt very real and human to me and I found myself relating to them in several ocassions. They are so different, yet their chemistry is undeniable and I enjoyed their journey, with its ups and downs.
Even though it's part of a series, the book can be read as a standalone and is a great choice for anyone looking for a quick, light and fun romantic read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Mo is a woman who always sees the bright side in every situation and would do anything for anyone. Now that her two best friends have moved out she finds herself looking for a roommate and her grandmother’s best friend has arranged for her grandson to move in, what could possibly go wrong?

August couldn’t be more different from Mo whether it is in regard to their attitude about life and love, their eating habits or the cleanliness of their apartment. He is grateful the situation is temporary as the only reason he finds himself in town is to convince his grandmother to sell her flower shop and slow down.

The one thing that neither of them counted on was the chemistry between them but a roommates with benefits situation is about to become complicated not only by the feelings between them but the secrets as well.

I really enjoyed both these characters as once we learn August’s backstory his reactions to certain situations are understandable while Mo is the kind of friend that everyone needs in their life.

So this is the third in the Mile High Happiness series but can be read as a standalone. I recommend reading the other two just because they’re amazing and they give you a bit more understanding of Mo’s best friend’s and their relationships.

I absolutely loved this book, just as much as I loved The Best Friend Problem and The Best Man Problem. Mariah Ankenman has done it again and I found myself really connecting with this story and it’s characters. I found this story impossible to put down and ended up devouring this story in one night.

I loved Mo and was so happy to finally read her story and her journey to love. She’s incredibly caring, selfless and thoughtful. She goes out of her way for others and wanted August to feel comfortable as soon as he moved in. I love her personality, her style and most of all her friendship with Agatha who is like a grandmother to her.

August frustrated me at the beginning, especially when he first meets Mo. He’s a clean freak and doesn’t want to experience what the town has to offer. He’s here to support his grandmother Agatha and convince her to sell her flower shop and finally retire. However the more we learnt about August the more I understood the reasons why he has trouble trusting people and letting them in. I ended up really liking his character and the chemistry and banter he had with Mo.

My only issue with the book is how quick everything happened in terms of the time line. I think I would have liked it to have taken a little bit longer for things to happen and not the few months in book that it was.

The Roommate problem is a cute, fast-paced romance filed with chemistry and romance! I have absolutely loved this series and I’m sad to see it end. I have loved every one of these characters and have loved reading about them finding love along the way! If you’re a fan of steamy romances then this series is for you!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Mo's outlook on life is all sunshine and rainbows. August, her new roommate, needs to lighten up, and Mo's just the girl to do it, or so she thinks!
Filled with humor and laugh out loud moments throughout the story, "The Roommate Problem" is a quick read that checks off all the right boxes.

Thanks to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for providing me an arc of this delightful book.

This book...I loved everything about it.
Moira, is happy, care free, August, is her total opposite, and he is grumpy.
She believes in soulmates and HEA, he- doesn't.
Chemistry between those two is off the charts..

I did enjoy this book so much, happy to read it.

I just feel like the pace of this book was too quick - I knew from the first chapter exactly what would happen. A nice story but very predictable.

Moira and August are complete opposites, she has a sunny disposition to his grumpiness, untidy to neat, junk food lover to organic healthy eater. But chemistry doesn’t care about the difference, and living together they see beyond the surface and start falling for each other.
But there is one main difference that might make a HEA difficult, she loves living in the city and he likes the countryside better.
This is a funny read that is fast paced and entertaining. I enjoyed their banter and their chemistry. Overall a good addition to the Mile High Happiness series.

This was a new author for me and I’m so glad I got a chance to read. The book was an opposite attracts troupe and was full of humor and fun characters. It was well written, and the plot was developed.
Moaira “Mo” was part owner of a bridal company and loved her job. She was full of good humor, friendly, and happy ever after’s. She hadn’t met her true love yet but new she would find him eventually. Her friend has moved out and she needs a new roommate but is having a hard time finding an acceptable one. Mo’s friend Agatha has a grandson that is moving and needs somewhere to live. Mo thinks it’s the perfect solution if only she didn’t find him attractive. She is determined to introduce August to fun things found in the city to convince him to stay.
August has moved to the city to help his grandmother, Agatha with her flower shop. He doesn’t want to live in the city or run her flower shop, but Agatha isn’t able to handle the shop by herself. He was expecting Mo to be a male and didn’t expect the apartment to be so messy. He liked everything clean and organized and Mo’s clutter was driving him crazy.
This was a funny book that was fast-paced. The characters were charming and easy to connect with. I loved how Mo was so cheerful and always trying to help everyone. Sometimes she went a little crazy helping people, but she had good intentions. August’s childhood was chaotic since he was shuffled from his mom and dad’s house. Now he needs clean and organization, so he feels like he has control of his life. I enjoyed this book and will look forward to future books.

Even though The Roommate Problem is the third book in the Mile High Happiness series, it was the first book in the series that I read. This was a really good book because it is an "opposites attract" trope. Mo sees the world in all the colors of the rainbow while August is a very straight-laced person. From the very first interaction between the two characters, I had to wonder if they were going to be together by the end. Especially after Mo puts pineapple on her pizza.

As the two begin a relationship, they realize that life is full of surprises, both good and bad, and loving someone is worth all the anxiety that Mo and August experience. I really liked the character of August's grandmother, Agatha. She is a hoot, but also gives the love story another dimension.

I will be reading the first two books in the series as well, so I can get Pru and Lilly's stories and "see" Mo's personality from their point of views.

It's a sweet, romantic opposite-attracts kind of story that will warm your heart and put a smile to your face. I loved it!
Mo is a happy-go-lucky kind of person. She is quick to smile and she has a way to make people instantly like her. However, August is one person whose walls she can't break. He is grumpy and keeps to himself. More than that, he is annoyed with his grandmother who tricked him and also, keeps refusing to sell her flower shop and retire, which he strongly believes that she should do. Now, Mo finds herself between the two. Keeping secrets when she knows fully well that truth always comes out one way or the other. Will she end up hurting the two of the most important people in her life or is she the one who is going to end up being hurt? One thing is for sure though, she is feeling things she has never felt before and she is willing to fight for them.
It's a really well-written romantic comedy. The kind that makes you laugh out loud. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to all romance fans. Definitely worth the read!

The story is fun and fast-paced, maybe because of Mo's energy. But I found Mo to be an exhausting sort of person--maybe I'm more of an August? That said, August seemed a bit entitled to know everything about his aunt's business and health, and while she shouldn't have kept stuff from him, he gets a bit righteous in thinking he knows what's best for her.

I felt that the characters were somewhat self-conscious in acting like they knew they were in a romance novel in their awareness of the tropes and beats they were living through. This could be tongue-in-cheek on the author's part, but if it was supposed to be, it wasn't fully integrated into the story.

The Roommate Problem is the third book in the Mile High Happiness series by Mariah Ankenman. While having read the previous books will give you a more rounded understanding of some of the characters, this book can stand up just fine on its own. It is currently scheduled for release on August 10 2020.

To Moira “Mo” Rossi, the world is full of sunshine, goodness, and happily ever afters—so of course she figures finding the perfect roomie will be easy. But after four creepos who ask if benefits come with the room and one woman who claims she’s a vampire, Mo is officially desperate. So what if the guy she agrees to on paper ends up being the Derrick Downer to her Sally Sunshine in person? She’s the queen of making lemonade. August Porter expected his new roommate Mo to be like him—neat, practical, and oh yeah: male. Not the outrageous hippie with more stars in her eyes than there are in the sky. She’s infuriating, exasperating, his exact opposite in every possible way...and the bright ray of sunshine he didn’t even realize his gray world was missing. Suddenly, falling into bed with his roommate isn’t the worst idea he’s ever heard. Just falling in love with her is. But one of them is keeping a secret that could turn their opposite attraction into utter disaster.

The Roommate Problem is a sweet and fun read. Mo and August are the quintessential odd couple. Mo is all optimism and joy, while August is very reserved and introverted. I loved seeing them get to know each other better and discover how they balanced and complimented each other. Their growth from rather adversarial roommates to a couple was fun and satisfying to read. Both Mo and August grew, and their interactions varied from serious to seriously funny. I will admit that I saw they major conflict coming- from far, far away- and mentally urged different choices several times. However, I think the way it was handle and the character development involved kept it interesting and engaging.

The Roommate Problem is a solid romance that fans of the author and series will definitely want to read.

I have been provided with a review copy of The Roommate Problem from NetGalley for an impartial review. This is the third book in the Mile High Happiness series and I just loved getting to reenter this world. I was just drawn into this wonderful story and I just couldn’t get enough of it. It was just so easy to get lost in this great story. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

3.5 stars. I want to thank Entangled Publishing for sending me this eARC to review.
This was a really short book and I'm a hard sell on novellas but I really enjoyed this! This is about a girl named Mo and a guy named August. August comes to town to help his grandma with her floral shop and when he gets there he finds out that she has set him up to live with Mo (who is shockingly not a guy). The rest of the book is finding out what's going to happen to the floral shop, if August is going to stay in town, and whats going to come of their relationship. I thought this book had an adorable atmosphere and while it was very quick moving, it didn't bother me. Overall I'd recommend if you're looking for a fun, quick novella.

SPOILERS AHEAD:
August's grandma is very close with Mo and so she's a little sneaky and wants him to get attached to her so he'll stay in Denver. At first, they're so opposite its laughable. He's introverted, she's extroverted. He's straight laced, she's eccentric. She loves the city, he loves the country. However, through the forced proximity they begin to grow on each other. He loves to grow plants, not necessarily sell them so his grandma wants to buy a piece of land where he can grow flowers in the city. Mo secretly cosigns the loan to help her and thats part of the big conflict. August has a lot of insecurities from his parents leaving him out so he felt very betrayed. She also didn't tell him that his grandma was having surgery because she asked her not to. In the end, he forgives her and it all works out and they live happily ever after.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an advanced copy of this book. I am providing a voluntary review, and all thoughts and views are my own.

The Roommate Problem is the second book by Mariah Ankenman I’ve had the pleasure of reading, and I can attest it will definitely not be the last. Ankenman has such a swoon-worthy was with words and develops delightful, lighthearted romantic comedies that are just what the doctor ordered in today’s current climate.

I fell head-over-heels for Mo, the bright burst of hippie sunshine that takes this book by storm. She was entirely too much fun. And watching poor August get trampled by her big personality was adorable. Their dynamic was so much fun. August came off as a jerk to her at first, but after the procession of failed roommates she’s had prior to him, she uses her “sees the best in everyone” attitude to give him another shot.

Then there was August’s Gran. She was a hoot and such a great, well-rounded side character. She brought so much to the table, and really humanized August in his grumpiest, most intolerable moments. I was rooting for these two to get over their differences from early on. August was definitely harder to win over, and he took me longer to warm up to than Mo—who I fell for immediately—but them together was just perfection. Their relationship was fun and sparked off the page.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something lighthearted and romantic to while away a lazy summer day. It’s fun, full of life, and brings more than its fair share of laughter to the table.

Opposites attract romance!

Wedding planner Moira “Mo” Rossi is desperate so when florist Agatha Porter said that her grandson August Porter was moving to Denver to help her out at her florist shop and needs a place to live, she agreed to her new roommate. Small problem, August didn’t know that Mo wasn’t a guy and she was all about being happy and not practical like August.

Mariah Ankenman has written definitely an opposites attract story because Moira and August had to find a common ground even to live in a same apartment because she was messy and he was a neatnik which made me think of the Odd Couple movie and they fall in love when they find a common ground with each other.

The Roommate Problem is the third book in the Mile High Happiness series and worth reading if you like good contemporary romances.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I love a grumpy hero And August Porter does not disappoint.

August Porter is a grump.  And Moira Rossi is the exact opposite. He shows up on Mo's doorstep a day early and is surprised to see Moira there because his grandmother never mentioned Mo was a woman. He's in Denver to help his grandmother with her flower shop, convince her to sell, retire and move with him. He plans are to start his own flower farm and take care of his grandmother.

Mo wants to help him see Denver in a different light and reconsider taking over his grandmother's business. But August is stiff and rigid and her first attempt at taking to see the city is a fail. So she has to rethink her strategy. 
In the meantime, they both feel the spark between them and are hesitant to do anything about it. Because sleeping with your roommate might not be the best idea but it might help relieve the tension.
