Ethan Fitzell has been avoiding his stepsister since their parents got married, but when she shows up at his apartment uninvited, he realizes her absence has only made his heart grow fonder.

Jenny

He’s the last guy on earth I want to ask for a favor.

But I only need his couch for a few days. It’s hardly the big imposition he pretends it is.

Yet five minutes in his frosty company is all it takes to make the memories come flooding back...

The way I used to crave his attention.

The way I used to ache for his touch.

How anxious I felt the night that game of spin the bottle spun out of control...

I still remember how the color drained from my face when everyone turned to look at me. I wasn't even playing, wasn't even invited to the party.

“Looks like you’ve gotta kiss Jen,” some jock said to Ethan.

Panic pummeled my heart as I realized my feelings for him were going to be found out.

But Ethan just laughed it off. “Yeah, that’s not happening. She’s my sister.”

“Not really, though,” his buddy insisted.

The popular kids around him laughed and jeered like jungle predators while my cheeks burst into flames.

“Don’t be stupid,” Ethan said, tilting a can of beer over his mouth.

When his friend spun the bottle again, Ethan glanced over at me one last time and wiped the back of his hand across his lips.

I’ve been wondering what it would be like to kiss him ever since...

**This is a full-length, standalone romance with no cliffhanger and no cheating. It is intended for a mature audience and has an ending that will leave you smiling so hard it hurts.

"Roommates was a most enjoyable love story. Likable from the beginning, there was no heavy angst between the MC. series." - Forever Reading

"I was trying to read a book that was just not catching my interest when I saw this one. It sounded interesting so I figured I would check it out, and am I glad I did! Hazel Kelly is a new to me author but I am telling you, I will definitely be reading more of her books. Five stars easy!" - Linda Chilson

"This story was stupendous! I am beyond impressed, and I'll more than likely be found reading every other book in the series as well as more of the backlist over the coming weeks. That is after I reread this one." - Melissa

"I really enjoyed this story and it flowed well. Hazel Kelly is a new author to me and I'm glad I came across this book. Everything was just enough- the drama, the chemistry, it wasn't overdone and the story was about them and how'd they'd fell in love at first sight and the events leading up to that. I look forward to reading more of Hazel's books." - Sabrina P.

"Well worth the read with likable characters, good writing, and taboo sexiness! I enjoyed this story immensely. Ethan and Jenny are adorable together. Roommates is definitely one of the better books I've read in a while. I will read more of Hazel's work." - Angela Flowers

"Sweet story with a sexy twist. The author has a great sense of humor and delivers some really nice punch lines. Good job!" - Summer

"With all the romance books out there, it's still hard to find heroines I can get behind, but I really liked this one. Not only does she feel like an actual human being, but she's a fairly reasonable woman. I'll be looking for the author's work in the future." - Becca

"The love between Ethan and Jenny throughout the years was so touching. Loved Roommates so much. I couldn't get enough of these two reconnecting and finally revealing their true feelings. I really hope there will be more of these two!" - Becky A.

"The lives of Ethan and Jennifer could have turned out very different if not for the ups and downs. Read it so you can see for yourself how good comes to those who speak their minds rather than hide behind social stigma. You won't be disappointed!" - Audra Ennis

It was okay, even though I cannot see what's wrong with loving a step sibling!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have never understood this, especially when the steps never even grew up together from when they were little, as they would've then been raised under that premise of knowing each other only as a brother/sister, brother/brother, or sister/sister, and been taught the proper acceptable behaviors pertaining to their relationship. Yet, I do believe that the heart of every individual has re right to follow its own path, and seek out their greatest, most perfect desire. Yeah, that's a purely romantic outlook, but I'd like to believe in terms positive, the pure, and in complete honesty between genuine lovers.

I give this one three and a half stars, because while I don't buy that they should have been subjected to feelings of guilt when they were teenagers, and things could have turned out so wrongly different, Jenny and Ethan did have a sweetly happy ending

I usually read darker stuff, but this hit all the romance spots when it comes to forbidden angst. I loved the two of them together - loved that their parents approved in the end. Loved that love conquors all.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2022

Hazel Kelly delivers a scorching first round of forbidden love in the Soulmates series. I highly recommend Roommate for a romance that gives you a good punch of lust, a heavy dose of love, and lots and lots of feels! I look forward to reading many more books by Hazel starting with the next one in this series full of love that starts in the most unlikely of places. I can't wait to see what panty twisting, heart melting moves Hazel Kelly has to offer in My Best Friend's Brother. All I can say is bring on the heat and the emotions and I will keep coming back for more!

Very sexy, slightly taboo romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2022

I loved the build up, the revelations, the sex, but I felt the ending was a little anticlimactic. Too easy maybe?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2022

I loved the characters, just wish there was a bit more of a climax. It felt too much like a happy story where everything went perfectly. Also, needed more details after the first couple of hookups. Fell flat at the end, but I will look for more from this author.

This book was so very sweet! I normally like the step brother bully romances and occasionally like these types but it was also hella funny as well!

Jen and Ethan became stepbrother and stepsister when her mom married his dad when they were teenagers. They lived in the same small town, attended the same school, and had noticed each other before their parents became a couple and married. After the marriage both of them felt uncomfortable with the secret, unacknowledged attraction they felt for each other and it was never acted upon. After a year of living under the same roof Ethan was expelled from the hometown school and sent away to a military-style boarding school. When he graduated he moved away and they hadn't seen each other for years. When their paths cross again, the chemistry is still there. They become temporary roommates while Jen is in New York attending auditions for an acting job. They gradually begin to move forward from the awkwardness they feel in each other's presence...
I enjoyed this couple's story. Ethan and Jen were likeable, Ethan was really hot, and I liked the way they supported and encouraged each other. I did feel that as adults they spent too much time stressing out about the fact that they were step sibling who were attracted to each other. After all, they weren't blood-related and they were adults now. I have read other books about step siblings who became romantically involved. This one views the situation from a different perspective.

Stunning

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2016

I was trying to read a book that was just not catching my interest when I saw this one. It sounded interesting so I figured I would check it out, and am I glad I did. Jenny and Ethan are a fantastic couple. Their situation was one you could see happening, especially if you are from a family with siblings that are step siblings to each other. I always thought it would have been interesting if one of my sisters and brothers had fallen in love. After all they weren't related to each other nor had they been step siblings since they were really young, they were well into their teens when our parents got together. So stories like this to me are not about taboo love so much as what could really happen. Maybe they even fulfill a fantasy, who knows. I just know I loved Jenny and Ethan. I loved how they fought their interests but never really wanted to. I love how protective Ethan was of Jenny even before he let his interest be known. They really are the perfect couple. I really love how there was little animosity between them. Angst stories can be good but they can get tiring too, a love story that really is truly a love story is very nice. And I felt that's what this one was. Ethan had his moments of being a jerk but not many and really not for long.
Hazel Kelly is a new to me author but I am telling you I will definitely be reading more of her books. Five stars easy!!!!

“I mean now that you’re here, it feels like I’ve found something I misplaced.”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

I found this author’s style really refreshing.

Good girl theatre geek and bad boy jock.

“I mean now that you’re here, it feels like I’ve found something I misplaced.”

Jen hasn’t seen her stepbrother, Ethan, in years. So she’s pretty nervous when she realises that he doesn’t know that she’s coming to sleep on his couch in NYC for a few days. At fourteen, she had a massive crush him. Then a year later, he became part of her family. He always noticed her but rarely spoke to her.

Ethan escaped halfway across the country to get away from Jen and his forbidden, desperate desire for her. He’s completely unprepared for her reappearance in his life.

“What I wanted most was to know what it felt like to be inside her. Deep. Like she’d always been in me.”

After a shaky start, Jen and Ethan make a go of being friends, but the sexual tension and uncertainty between them makes for a charged atmosphere. When Jen is subjected to an unpleasant experience, Ethan’s true feelings for her start to come out, and their relationship is pushed across the line of no return.

I wanted a quick read and, yeah, I’m a sucker for this genre! I thoroughly enjoyed it because it was funny and not overly angsty. I loved the banter between them. Jen is sweet and honest, but confident, and can be direct. Ethan is charming, smart and tough, and also direct, although his blunt teasing masks what he wants. There’s no messing with anyone’s feelings, just two people who were uncertain teenagers, ruled by a militant father, and grew up to be confident adults and having the courage to go for what they want, regardless of what their parents may think.

Sweet romance no drama

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Although not a great deal happened in this story, I still found myself looking forward to picking up my Kindle to continue reading. I liked both Jen and Ethan, but got a better sense of Ethan's feelings than Jen's and really got how much he'd always loved her. It could have been longer, with more from their parents and maybe seeing more of them adapting as a couple, but nevertheless a sweet read. The formatting did annoy me a little with double spaces between every paragraph and piece of dialogue. Recommended read if you like sweet and no drama.

Sweet easy read

An easy, sweet, fluffy read and completely opposite to what I usually read!

Jenny and Ethan noticed each other at school, both had crushed in each other, BUT they never really spoke , until their parent got married....

Sweet story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved this book.
I thought the characters were sweet and they had instant chemistry.
It was nice to see a sweet story coming together for once, rather than the ‘I’m going to make you miserable but you still love me’ stories. I liked how Ethan didn’t hide his feelings at all. It was obvious with how he acted towards Jenny. Hers weren’t exactly hidden away, either, but the obvious anxiety of being wrong about the other made this even sweeter.

Sorry to say it but this book is terrible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

There are some really terrible step-siblings fall for each other books around at the moment and this is one of them. It is literally so boring and predictable you can skip big chunks of the book and not miss anything because that is exactly what I was reduced too from about 30% onwards. I'd also like the author to note that I used the word "because" in the previous sentence. Her continued use of "cause" rather than "because" through the entire book was beyond irritating. This is the first time I've read a Hazel Kelly book and it will almost certainly be the last.
