True love is at stake in this charming, debut romantic comedy. 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.

I really feel like this cover made the book look really childish, but it wasn't. Yes, it had some explicit spicy scenes, but the rest of the book felt more ya. I did really like it tho, but this book deserves a cover that matches it more.
I really wanted to like this book, but the ending didn’t match the beginning for me. I loved the premise. A surprise vampire as your roommate that you need to teach about the ways of modern life? SOLD! The beginning was a good mixture of fun, magic, and even plausibility (as much as one can have with a vampire book). Unfortunately, the middle lost steam. The world of vampires, how things work, and more importantly how Fredrick became a vampire isn’t really explained. I wanted more answers (even simple ones) than I actually got. The only thing that got explained were highly ridiculous like the mysterious coat closet she is forbidden to go into at the start of the book. By the end, I was still hoping that the characters I got invested in at the beginning would be able to salvage the book, but alas… nope. The end felt very rushed and not very well thought out. Overall, I liked the premise and the characters, but I think more time was spent editing/working on the start and idea of the book that ending got lost. If you like vampires and light-hearted contemporary romance, you’ll probably still like this book. I just wanted a bit more complexity outside of the overdone vampire tropes.
It was a cute and cozy romance with a very enjoyable character. What could be improved was the rushed end and more Fredericks backstory.
