I absolutely love Christina Lauren books - they're a great combination of sexy and swoony, filled with great characters and stories. Roomies is no exception. I loved reading about how Holland's and Calvin's relationship evolved from being strangers in the subway station to being a real couple. The marriage of convenience factor added to the lovely slow burn surrounding the development of their relationship. In addition to that growth, I also thought that Holland's evolution as a character, going from someone who was somewhat lost to someone who finally found her voice, was equally compelling. This was as much a romance as it was a story about Holland's personal growth. Roomies was one of my favorite reads of the year!
