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 gave up on this book after reaching just 15%. Listening to the audiobook, I found the narrator unappealing. Additionally, the excessive foul language and heavily liberal-leaning comments were off-putting, and I didn’t resonate with the cringeworthy dialogue or the main character. The overall tone felt like a chaotic mishmash of woke messaging. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it, and I won’t be exploring more from this author. Adding to my disappointment, I discovered that the story is based on Kylo Ren fan fiction, which explains why it reads like amateur fan fiction.
