Declan Tate is persistent, charismatic, and fun. He makes himself right at home, fits into her life,  and they become fast friends. 

She has a crush on a Doctor and he is interested in his coworker. So these roommates turn into each other's wingman, tossing some jealousy in the mix, and garnering interest from their respective crushes. But sometimes what you think you want might not be what you really need. And sometimes it is hard to see what is really right in front of you. 

This is a funny, sweet, swoony, fake-relationship, roommates and friends-to-lovers, not-what-they-expected romance. It is a super slow burn, but full of flirting, innuendo, and sexual tension. It's about taking risks, being vulnerable, facing fears, priorities, and living life to the fullest. 

Like most of the books by these authors, there is an underlying bit of mystery and emotional issues that affect the characters and at times influence their choices. They challenge the other and shake up their perceptions and plans. There is some back-and-forth, angst, and soul-searching that needs to occur. I adored Declan and his big heart. I could understand his worries, but I loved how protective he was and how he tried to take care of Molly. And Molly was initially more rigid and sure of what she wanted, but starts to realize that everything in life cannot be planned for and controlled.

I think the authors did a good job with some of the more difficult and emotional subjects,  and also managing multiple love interests, and avoiding cheating. And Declan and Molly's personalities and connection just shined through and made me smile.
