Holland's floundering. Her writing career has never taken off. She's working for family at a Broadway theater, but her life has no direction. When her uncle needs a musician for his play, Holland knows the perfect candidate. She's been impressed with his playing outside the subway station for months.

Holland talked to the musician, Calvin, one night after a few too many drinks. They shared a moment before he disappeared. Knowing that he could be the answer for her uncle, she drags him to hear Calvin play. Her uncle hears it too; together they offer him an audition with the orchestra and then the position. Unfortunately, he's in the country illegal and must decline. Jokingly, Holland's boss comes up with a solution; she could marry him. At first, Holland thinks it's a crazy idea, but the more she thinks about it, the more the idea begins to take hold. So she approaches him. To her surprise, he agrees. They come up with a set of rules before they marry. Could this be the shake up Holland's life needs?

Christina Lauren updates the marriage of convenience trope in the best modern use since Sandra Bullock's "The Proposal." This new adult title was hard to put down.

I loved the behind-the-scenes look at the theater and how much work goes into making a Broadway play successful. Holland is an easy character to like. She's floundering with her life choices, but she has big dreams. She has a large heart and likes helping people, I wanted her to succeed in the worst way.

It's not hard to fall for Calvin -- a musician in love with his art. He's strong, talented, and Irish.

Their evolving romance kept me quickly turning the pages. I needed to make sure they ended up together by the end of ROOMIES.
