Omg Ryan and Miller’s book was absolutely delightful to read. I loved everything about their story. The snarky back and forth, the resistance and the giving in, the absolutely dreamy surreal
quality of the storytelling, the humour and the scorching hot chemistry between these two made for a fantastic read.

Jesse Reign gives us two amazing characters, revealing their backstory slowly, and seeing them grow through the book was absolutely amazing. Ryan suffers from anxiety, is buckling under financial responsibility, grouchy, with a chip the size of Everest on his shoulders which makes him loathe Miller instantly. He’s also got good reason for that chip as we come to understand. Miller is sweet and perceptive under his popular, privileged, devil may care attitude and he wants Ryan desperately - willing to propose striking a bargain to pay him for sexual favours - and this sets up an unconventional dynamic between the two with loads of push and pull and longing and possessiveness coming out to play along with scorching hot encounters. Ofcourse all these beautiful heightened emotions come into play too and the way it builds towards the end was just sublime, I loved the climax and the epilogue. It also left me curious and wanting more and I’m excited to see where the series goes.

If you’re looking for a steamy, low angst romance with roommates with an unconventional arrangement between them making them go from hate to love and an HEA, I would definitely recommend checking this out
