Fast forward to this year, I tried again and I couldn’t stop! I think I burned through about 6 hours just reading this book. EXCLUSIVE: After optioning the screen rights, Greenland and The Night House producer Anton has tapped rising U.S. scribe Meredith Dawson to adapt Rosie Danan’s debut novel The Roommate, which has been getting strong notices ahead of general release next month. Warmly funny and gorgeously sexy, this porn-star romance is the most wholesome thing I’ve read in ages‘ The New York Times And this is why I love forced cohabitation because there’s always tension and mutual pining between the characters. Not gonna lie, the last book I read also had forced cohabitation 😜 Sex Positivity and Consent 💑 All Fun And Games': Vertical Sets Fall Release For Horror Thriller Starring Natalia Dyer & Asa Butterfield

Fun Fact: this was the first book I read on my new Kindle Paperwhite. Yes, I caved in and finally bought one, but that’s another story for another time. 😏 It didn’t matter how many reasons she could list why Everett should love her. He didn’t. Not in the way she’d always wanted. And until she stopped waiting for a love she felt she was due, she’d never be able to imagine the future with anyone else.” Fresh and different, a special, superbly written slow-burn.” —Sarah Hogle, author of You Deserve Each Other The chemistry between them was so electrifying and sizzling hot, that sometimes I feel like I’m literally present in the room with them. I have to admit I found myself anticipating their steamy scenes because it’s that effective!

When not working on her next book, Rosie enjoys jogging slowly to fast music, petting other people’s dogs, and competing against herself in rounds of Chopped using the miscellaneous ingredients occupying her fridge. Nuanced, funny, super steamy and surprisingly tender, The Roommate raises the bar for rom coms in 2020 – a smashing debut, and I can’t wait for more by Rosie Danan!” —Evie Dunmore, author of Bringing Down the Duke This isn’t the first time I read a book where the heroine is a “prude” and naive (not the first time I read a book with a main character who’s a sex worker either 👀) when it comes to sex, but I think that The Roommate will be a memorable one for me because the author was able to convey self-exploration in a really positive and healthy light. Plot: I love a good roommate trope. Especially when they’re, *gasp*, different than each other in almost every way! Omg. But seriously, it was well done and I loved watching their relationship develop through them learning to live together. This brings me to my next point: there wasn’t a time when a scene didn’t help the story along. Each moment had a purpose. I didn’t realize how infrequently that can happen in novels and I was here for this one. What an incredible debut! Danan gives us strangers to annoyed-roommates to kinda-friends to angsty-pining to finally-lovers with humor, wit, and just a hint of pathos. Josh and Clara are easily my favorite ‘smash the patriarchy’ couple, and The Roommate is easily one of my top romance reads of 2020!” —Jen DeLuca, author of Well Met

Suddenly, Clara finds herself sharing a house with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive – not to mention handsome – for comfort, but there’s a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hadn’t looked him up on the internet . . . Rosie Danan’s The Roommate is seriously sexy, seriously smart.” —Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author The book had it all, comedy, hot stuff and fluff, overcoming fears and insecurities, healthy depiction of relationships, and a great highlight of the reality of the adult entertainment industry. When not writing, Rosie enjoys jogging slowly to fast music, petting other people’s dogs, and competing against herself in rounds of Chopped using the miscellaneous ingredients occupying her fridge. Let’s Chat!The New York Times calls Rosie Danan’s debut novel, THE ROOMMATE “a book about people expanding into their best possible selves…warmly funny and gorgeously sexy.” The rom-com received a 2020 Ripped Bodice Award for Excellence in Romantic Fiction and has been optioned for film. A companion book THE INTIMACY EXPERIMENT is forthcoming April 6, 2021 in the US and UK. This wasn’t explicitly stated in the synopsis, which was truly an effective surprise! I’ve got to tell you I literally laughed out loud when Clara found out. The Roommate is laugh-out-loud funny, bananas sexy, and deeply romantic. Danan’s voice is fresh and sharp, and the romance between Clara and Josh is both sizzling hot and heartwarming. Everything I want in a romance.” —Andie J. Christopher, USA Todaybestselling author

Rosie Danan was able to flesh out these characters in a way that the lust and pleasure were there but also leaves room for proper exploration to highlight mature communication to further their relationship. Rosie Danan not only created characters who you’ll think about long after you’re finished reading, but she wrote a powerful, feministbook, that makes you laugh as hard as you cheer. The Roommate is sunshine in the form of a book. I can’t wait to see what Danan brings us next!” —Alexa Martin, author of Snapped Producer-financier Anton is producing, and The Gotham Group ( TheMaze Runner series) is executive-producing. The deal was negotiated by Anton’s John Zois who will oversee the project, and the Gotham Group’s Dillon Asher. The book was sourced for Anton by its creative executive Holly Hubsher. The Roommate is equally fluffy and smutty, I’m going to say that upfront. There are a lot of spicy chapters and sex scenes are explicitly graphic, there’s even a mutual masturbation scene! 🔥🔥 Suddenly, Clara finds herself sharing a house with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive - not to mention handsome - for comfort, but there's a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hadn't looked him up on the internet . . .One of the steamiest romances of the year… a downright revolutionary story about modern women owning their desire.” —PopSugar Change always comes with a closing cost,” Naomi said. “But it’s still worth trying. Not because the odds are particularly good, mind you, but considering the alternative. There’s value in the struggle. Value in touching the raw and bloody parts of our souls, opening them up to the sunlight, and hoping they heal.”
