Cat's Books: Romance

It’s official: Chloe Brooks is having the worst week ever. Her roommate has just moved out with no notice, leaving Chloe little time to find a replacement. The pressure is on at work as she vies for a big promotion. And she just caught her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She doesn’t need any more complications, but that’s exactly what Chloe gets when Patrick Murphy shows up on her doorstep.  

Life is good for Patrick Murphy. He has an agent who can help kickstart his acting career. His relationship with his best friends has never been tighter. And he’s saved up enough money to finally move into the city. Now if he can just find a place to live…  

There are many reasons why they shouldn’t be together: They’re both focusing on their careers, Chloe is coming out of a nasty breakup, and is it ever a good idea to date your roommate?  

Sharing Space was originally published as six separate contemporary romance novellas about an interracial couple who ignore all the reasons why they shouldn’t be together to focus on the one reason they should: love.  

This complete collection features all six books.

Review

I really enjoyed this book. I love romances where we see the couple become friends and then lovers. This happens here.

The cultural adjustments of inter racial dating are compelling. There is a great deal of empathy for the wide range of the human conditions.

Most lovely is that the hero's and heroine's family and friend realtionship all play a key roles in the story...just like in real life. Career does as well. Becoming a new family mean intergradtion and serperation from existing bonds and this romance does wonderful work with those dynamics.

The hero and heroine both make mistakes and have some basic glitches in thier personailities that don't go away but that is okay. We love them anyway,

I wouldn't have read this book as a serial because I hate serials. LOL. I read all of this romance one pleasant evening and that is always a sign of an engrossing book.

I highly recommend this romance.
