About this ebook

When I recruit my Christmas-loving roommate for a holiday charity fundraiser, I don’t expect a kiss under the mistletoe to unravel everything.

We have three days to rack up as many points as possible and Brin is the perfect person to do this with—she exudes enthusiasm and energy, especially when it comes to the holidays.

I would know—we share a room in an apartment in New York City. It’s close quarters. Too close, judging by how often I catch myself thinking about her. I know how she sounds in the shower and where she keeps her favorite toy…

Things I try not to think about, because Brin is also too kind, too small-town sweet for someone like me. My job as the personal assistant to one of the wealthiest trust fund socialites in Manhattan is to be his fixer—when he needs someone to be an asshole, I’m the one he calls. And I'm good at my job, because that’s what I’ve done all my life, pushing away everyone I loved.

As we race around the city ice skating, eating sufganiyot, honoring the winter solstice, and yes, kissing under the mistletoe, I discover Brin has some secrets of her own, and I may be just the type of man she needs.

Chock-full of holiday cheer and pining, these best friends and roommates will realize that they compliment each other everywhere that matters. Cuddle up for a cozy and hot winter wonderland!

Ratings and reviews

Full of banter, spicy bits, impossible situations and heartwarming moments, you will love it. There’s some secret crushing going on on both sides of this relationship, but neither of them is aware of how the other might feel and both of them value the friendship too much to jeopardize it. But it looks like things just might change when Marco’s boss signs him up for a holiday charity scavenger hunt and fundraiser and Marco talks Brin into helping him. Sexy, surprising and totally satisfying.

Run, Run, Roommates is Brin and Marco’s friends to lovers romance set around the holiday season in NYC. This author is fairly new to me but after reading this entertaining novella I’m left wondering why I haven’t read more of her works. Brin and Marco are roommates and friends but they are opposites when it comes to the holiday season, she loves everything Christmas and he is happy to forget it all. So what happens when they join a scavenger hunt for charity, rushing around NYC doing holiday

I love stories set around the holidays. It’s a time to get together with family and friends. Thus is Marco and Brin’s friends to lovers story as one that ticked numerous boxes for me. I enjoyed their journey as their relationship developed. I fell hard and fast for Marco and Brin, they are easy to relate to and ai quickly became invested in their story.
