The Roommate Rule

Georgia Stone

When two polar opposites find themselves sharing a cabin for the summer, they lay down some ground rules to keep the peace—only to discover that one of those rules might be impossible to keep in this steamy new novel from the author of The Friendship Fling. Dylan is the kind of person who is always fifteen minutes early and never leaves things to chance--so she can’t believe she’s about to spend six weeks on a last-minute trip to Wales that she didn’t plan, living in a cabin with a man she’s only met once. Max always goes with the flow, and after his plus-one drops out of his all-expenses-paid travel influencer trip, he’s happy for his sister’s friend to take the spot. After all, from what he remembers of their brief meeting a year ago, Dylan is the kind of woman he’d be more than happy to spend some alone time with. Not that anything is going to happen between them, because Dylan knows getting involved with this reckless, irrepressible flirt is the last thing she needs. So she makes a house rule: they are roommates only, and under no circumstances can anything . . . untoward . . . happen between them. But as the days go by, Max starts to realize how much he enjoys chipping away at the walls Dylan hides herself behind, while Dylan begins to admit to herself that there may be more to Max than she first assumed. And before she knows it, she finds herself wondering if their “roommate rule” might be one rule she actually wants to break…

4.5 ⭐️ I had such a blast with this book. I knew it was going to be good when the dedication said, “This one’s for me.” When authors write a story for themselves, it always slaps, and Yes, Chef is no exception.

Jack had me by the throat from one of his first interactions with Poppy. The spice and the romance in this book will have you on your knees! The little things that Jack would say and do… 🫠🥵

This story also deals with some serious topics, such as abandonment, loneliness, guilt—I felt every single emotion Jack and Poppy were respectively feeling.

I LOVED all the behind-the-scenes that Jack and Poppy took is through to building a restaurant business—what goes into putting together with recipes, crafting a menu, the art behind cooking. These scenes might’ve been some of my favorites of the book.

The side-characters turned found family were so loveable and supportive, which is exactly what Jack needed!

From the story to the characters to the setting, this book shined in all of them.

• grumpy chef x sunshine influencer • forced proximity • roommates • he teaches her how to cook • hate to friends with benefits • found family • adhd rep
