Cassie Greenberg loves being an artist, but it’s a tough way to make a living. On the brink of eviction, she’s desperate when she finds a too-good-to-be-true apartment in a beautiful Chicago neighborhood. Cassie knows there has to be a catch—only someone with a secret to hide would rent out a room for that price.
Of course, her new roommate Frederick J. Fitzwilliam is far from normal. He sleeps all day, is out at night on business, and talks like he walked out of a regency romance novel. He also leaves Cassie heart-melting notes around the apartment, cares about her art, and asks about her day. And he doesn’t look half bad shirtless, on the rare occasions they’re both home and awake. But when Cassie finds bags of blood in the fridge that definitely weren’t there earlier, Frederick has to come clean...
Cassie’s sexy new roommate is a vampire. And he has a proposition for her.
A fun read, but ultimately utterly ridiculous! You find out that your roommate is a vampire, but you don't ask anything about how he got turned? I know people make fun of Twilight, but at least Bella made Edward tell her his history! Cassie just cares that Frederick needs her help and that he's hot!
That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the book, but I enjoyed it in spite of its ridiculousness. In fact, I prefered the first half, while they were getting used to living together, before she found out that he was a vampire. Her reactions to his random comments and crazy questions were absolutely hilarious. Once she discovered his secret, it turned into a spicy romance instead.
This is cotton candy. Fluff with no substance whatsoever. Sweet, but forgettable.
