For decades, the tale of a marriage of convenience that becomes something more has inspired countless romances. With Roomies, Christina Lauren put a fresh, modern spin on the trope with their completely un-put-down-able green card romp.... Lauren masters rom-com banter and plotting, while also reminding us that the best entries in the genre are all about recognizing our own value regardless of relationship status. One of our 10 best romances of 2017. A+. Entertainment Weekly
Can DNA determine your soulmate? This is the fascinating question behind Christina Lauren’s witty and highly original new novel, which follows a statistician and single mother who signs up for a dating company using DNA as its matchmaking model — only to find herself matched to the company’s unctuous, unappealing founder. A surprisingly romantic, science-based take on finding love and happily ever after. BookBub Resisting the urge to cover her own less-than-impressive assets, Jess offered a small, embarrassed wave. “Sorry. I was just thinking that your kitten probably isn’t covered in glitter, too.” When I see ETL blurb, I always go blind because this is my all time favorite theme. The sexy and smart banters, increasing sexual tension, smoky hot intimacy between two people who cannot stand each other but also want to rip each other’s clothes is my favorite romcom formula. A python?” Jess set a pot of water on the stove to boil. “Are you out of your mind, child?” She pointed to the cat, Pigeon, asleep in the dying stretch of daylight streaming through the window. “A python would eat that creature.” Yes, Jess said emphatically. On top of that, I had a kid when most people our age were still lying about enjoying Jägermeister. It’s hard to make myself seem polished in a dating profile.Fizzy began peeling the paper off her muffin. “What I was going to say is that you can’t throw in the towel because of one bad date.” Lauren (Love and Other Words, 2018) has penned a hilariously zany and heartfelt novel... the story is sure to please readers looking for a fun-filled novel to escape everyday life with." Booklist Also, they eat their food whole, and their ears are only inside their heads. Guess where you can’t find snakes? Juno stared up at her, blue eyes unblinking. Guess.
This emotional, sweet, and surprising novel about first loves and second chances will leave a tender spot in your heart." Shondaland But all that aside, at its heart, this is a terrific love story of enemies to lovers, and that's one of my favorite tropes. Everyone's so gruff and uptight in the beginning, but then they slowly thaw. I was positively gleeful, following along as this couple warmed up to each other and realized there is more between them than just hate and distrust. Okay, Universe, Jessica thought. I get it. If Mrs. Brady could be a trailblazer, maybe it was time for Jess to try, too. TWOOkay. Her friend returned with her drink and a huge blueberry muffin, and took a moment to get situated. Where was I? Okay.” Her friend returned with her drink and a huge blueberry muffin, and took a moment to get situated. “Where was I?” Juno: 7 years old daughter of Jess is extremely sweet and I loved her quirky mind! She and best friend Fizzy were scene stealers! At some parts they truly stole the book! In a Holidaze is everything I’ve ever wanted in a wintry love story. As hilarious as it is sweet, and sexy as it is tender, this story is pure, irresistible magic from start to finish. I couldn’t possibly love this book any more—my favorite Christina Lauren novel yet!" Emily Henry
With a wan smile, he dropped a business card on the table; it made an audible thunk. No eugenics, he added quietly, I promise. Fizzy let her eyes drop to his ass, currently hidden by a navy coat. We’re calling it his ‘demeanor’ now? She bent, writing something in the Idea Notebook she kept near her laptop. Throughout the novel, Jess feels concerned and conflicted about dividing her time between her work, her daughter, and her budding relationship with River. Do you think she achieves a balance? Discuss the idea of “having it all” in terms of Jess’s portrayal as a modern working mother.But then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever. Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands. her outside matched her inside, she would look like a Picasso sculpture: head sideways, nose where her eyes should be, eyes on her chin.” Juno went quiet behind her, and understanding dropped like a weight in Jess’s chest. She turned to find her kid wearing the enormous-eyed expression of preemptive begging. “Juno, baby, no.” I was hooked as soon as I was introduced the whirlwind, extra busy life of Jess, how she puts others’ needs above herself, how she takes care of her loved ones. The book moved fast but it didn’t affect romance’s blooming ( thankfully this is not insta romance story) actually I found myself chant for River to kiss the girl! I finished this gem at one sit, canceling everything in my life, buried my face into ereader.
even though this technically isnt a fake dating story, it has a very similar feel. it was really rewarding seeing two characters genuinely try to discover if they have a connection. scientific data may have pointed them in a certain direction, but it was the characters choices that made them a couple worth rooting for. I generally want to commit a felony when I see him. I'm not sure that's a sign of romantic compatibility.”She’s translated in over a dozen languages, Jess bragged, hoping to wipe the odd expression off his face. So… Her brows climbed her forehead. Americano was apparently very comfortable with pointed silence. Is that a ‘no’ to matchmaking? Please don't mess mess it up. You have such a big, beautiful... personality. And being neutered would be kind of a downer."
