Her Unexpected Roommate: an inheritance and dreams threatened

Her Unexpected Roommate is the first book in the Blubs, Blossoms, and Bouquets series by Laura Ann. Genevieve “Genni” Winters finally sees light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. After her sole living relative passes away, she inherits Boardwalk Manor, the family home. With plans to renovate the old house and open a bed and breakfast, she looks forward to a brighter future. Her dreams are dashed when she learns that she is only half owner of the house. Cooper James inherits the other half of ownership when his grandfather passes. He can’t believe his luck. He is desperate for a fresh start and the house is the open door he needs. He doesn’t anticipate the beautiful but angry Genni who demands he sell his half. Despite their opposition, there is a simmering attraction that builds between them. Can they come together and fight for the house before they lose it all? 

Her Unexpected Roommate is my first book by Laura Ann. Unfortunately, I was bored. I didn’t care for Genni. Despite her difficult life, she acted like a child throwing a tantrum. Cooper had the best potential to be a great character. He was more likable as someone who was repairing his life and bettering himself. However, they were childishly antagonistic without a reason to be, especially with their first meeting. The first sign of opposition to Genni’s proposal, she storms off?!?! The threat to both their dreams could have been avoided with a little investigation rather than taking someone’s word at face value. And no one thought to double check. Not Genni? Not Cooper? No one in town? It seemed all very far-fetched. Oh my gosh, what’s with all the fainting!?!? Genni needs to see a doctor as she faints a lot! Overall, I did not enjoy Her Unexpected Roommate and may not continue the series. 


Her Unexpected Roommate is available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook
