Breaking the Rules #3
Flirting With Hate
Rule #1: Don't let your ex move in with you.
Rule #2: Don't have sex with your ex.
Rule #3: Don't fall asleep hugging a turkey leg.
I woke up to an empty apartment and things just got worse from there. My roommate took everything even my epic purple couch. Rent coming due means I’m desperate, but not desperate enough for Travis freaking Westmister to live with me. That is, until my brother convinces me his best friend and my mortal enemy is his only hope.
Now the man I gave my v-card to before he disappeared is parading around my house shirtless, toned, tanned and ripped. Oh, God, I will not go there. He broke my heart and I hate his guts. Except, he’s not who I thought he was at all.
I can’t cross the line because then I won’t have a roommate plus me and my virginity hate him. Don’t we?
**Complete standalone with a happily ever after. Don't miss out on all the gooey goodness this book has to offer.**

What’s this book about? (I'm trying to give as little spoilers as possible)
Nina and Travis have a history that they've long left behind. Until Nina's crazy roommate steals most of her stuff & vanishes from the face of the earth. Now, Nina finds herself in an intricate predicament. Desperate to pay her bills, she allows Travis to move in with her and old flames start rekindling.
I like the Beck & Hallman duo a lot, so I'm always up for the challenge when they bring out a new book. Having read Babies & Promises, I sort of knew what to expect. However, these two stories are different in themes. Miscommunication plays a big role here and it's kind of exciting to watch it all unfold. I enjoyed this read! It was a page turner and it was entertaining as hell! Travis was adorable, tbh. I felt more sorry for him than for her and she was just as heartbroken or even more than Travis LOL
Nina's brother Grady was cute. His involuntary match-making talents were hilarious.
On another note, I only wished to have found out why Nina's roommate was such a weirdo? I hope I didn't miss it, but I think I didn't see further comments on her.
This was an enjoyable light second chance read that had delightful characters with steamy chemistry!

I enjoyed this book. Travis and Nina were great characters who had a terrible miscommunication. An all around good story filled with laugh out loud moments and over the top romantic gestures that make you swoon.

Not my favorite of the series. A big lack of communication between the two caused a lot of insecurities. The story was okay. There were some funny moments that helped. Good banter between the two. I just didn’t connect with the two mAin characters.

The maturity level of the couple was annoying. Humour? Barely. By the end of chapter 7, I left the book to watch youtube videos. Returned, skimmed to 'no condom', reread to make sure I had taken in the skimmed content correctly, skimmed again to another 'no condom' act and finally in chapter 18 the answer to the question I was seeking was found. And I was done. Total chapters, 26 plus an epilogue. DNF.
Cheers

This book is funny, quirky, sexy, and just downright fun read.
It's like a mix of brothers best friend, second chance and enemies to lovers. Nina and Travis have history. They grew up in the same town and Travis is Nina's brothers best friend. And Grady is the brother that would be mad if one of his friends dates his sister. That's not what made it second chance though. Mistakes all around on both their parts.
But, when Nina's roommate leaves without a word and steals all of her stuff, she's left in a bind on paying rent. Now Grady knowing Travis needs a place to stay, like the good friend he is mentions Nina and thing get complicated. Grady didn't see the problem and things get awkward at that point.
Neither wants to be the one to tell him they had a relationship with the other, so they decide to give it a try. They avoid each other, but when you're living together you can't avoid each other for long. That's when things get interesting.
Even from the start their chemistry is potent. It's something that mot only on the surface it's bone deep. Undeniable to all. Except Grady perhaps. It's tough living with your ex without feeling coming back. But with Travis' crazy ex to Nina's current, it's all kinds of weird and angsty.
I legit laughed so hard at one point I scared my cat. I couldn't help it. When you get to a certain part about her hair, you'll understand. If you have a box you check for a book, this one has it all. I'm glad I took a chance on it and definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed this quick read with Travis and Nina. They stole my heart and kept me turning the pages. Travis the brother’s best friend with a crush on Nina the little sister, but she was all grown up and started a little fling. What started out amazing ended with miscommunications and misunderstandings and left them thinking the other broke their heart. You will want to pull out your hair, throw your book at some of the things these two go through, but second chances are worth it right? I guess you will find out for yourself when you read this.

Cute but predictable
3.5
It’s a good romance, well written, sometimes quite funny, but whose story and intrigue are quite simple.
Nina discovers that her ex-roommate robbed her on leaving, and she quickly needs a new roommate. Her brother suggests his best friend Travis to her, but he doesn't know that they have had an adventure in the past that abruptly stopped, and that this deal does not bode well. The two know something, despite a reminder of attraction, they do not want and cannot dive back into this relationship.

Roommates & Thieves is another home run for Jenna Reed! I can't get over just how incredible this series has become. Each story shows me the huge potential of this wildly creative author. This fantastic series just keeps getting better and better with each story that entertains and destroys and rebuilds my heart page by page. I truly can't ask for anything more then just plain more from this brilliant author!
Nina has woken up to a nightmare of epic proportions. Unable to fix any of this huge mess, all she can do is move on. However, in her attempt to move on she finds herself moving backwards directly into her past. For good or for bad the only man she ever loved is back, and she wants him to keep moving on. Travis isn't sure if he is doing his best friend a favor or doing his heart a disservice. Sometimes being a good guy just gets you nothing but pain and disappointment. Can these two lost, lonely hearts find some peace and maybe a little something more about their hard and long years apart? Does time make the heart grow fonder or just more bitter?
You could just feel the heat and the confusion and the want from these two roommates. They enjoyed dancing around each other more then anything it seemed and yet their heart hurt at the missed communication and connection after all the years apart. It is hard to open up when your heart has been ripped apart with no explanation. You simply can't risk another devastating rejection unless you have the chance for something better. This couple pulled at my heart strings bit time, and I was nearly yelling at them to just sit down and talk to each other. That is so easy said then done though.
Jenna Reed has delivered another genius masterpiece that I greedily devoured and exquisitely savored every second of! She is a wicked master of the human heart and knows how to bring me to my knees every single time. I can't wait to see what she creates next! Whatever you do, run to read this book and any of the others in this wonderful series! You will not regret it.

When Nina let her quirky roommate move in she never thought she would wind up losing everything to her one day down the road... but that is exactly what has happened. The little traitor packed her bags, along with all of Nina's things and bailed without word. Now Nina is left with a full month's looming and an empty apartment. She needs a new roommate and fast... good thing her brother has the perfect plan!
When her brother suggests she let his best buddy move in with her she immediately vetoes the idea, the last thing she wants is to be living alongside the man who broke her heart years ago. There is no way she can open her door to Travis again... or can she?
Roommates and Thieves is a heart-melting tale that will have you smiling and swooning throughout! Nina is desperate, and well, desperate times calls for desperate measures, and letting your ex move in with you is pretty darn desperate! Watching this little reunion was thoroughly entertaining and good on the heart... these two were quite the pairing! It wasn't an instant love reunion, there were old hurts to be sorted out, misunderstanding to be righted, and a forgiveness to happen first. But once that all took hold, then the true magic happened... the steamy, blush spawning kind. I have no doubt that this second chance romance is going to be a hit with readers, it's pages come brimming with everything necessary to leave them thoroughly satisfied!! Highly recommend!

Roommates & Thieves by Jenna Reed
Another funny,sweet read by the writing duo. This book can actually fall into several categories enemies to lovers, second chance or brothers bestfriend to lovers.
Nina's roommate skipped town with all of her belongings leaving her with an empty apartment and short on rent. Without any options she takes her brother Grady offer when he said he has a friend that needs a place to live.
Travis is Grady's bestfriend and is back in town to help his dad with a construction project when his parents give away his room and all the hotels are full so he needs a place to stay. Grady has the perfect place he can help his bestfriend and his sister all at the same time. Little does he know that they have a history and not a good one. After surprising her with just showing up with Travis without telling who was coming and lots a yelling she agrees to let him move in on a trial basis.
Oh lord let the fun begin Nina is so clumsy that I'm surprised she never ended up seriously injured. Travis was such a good guy and so funny when she has a date over. You could tell they still had undeniable chemistry but both were still scared of being hurt again. When everything is revealed and secrets spilled all bets are off.
Don't miss out on this sweet,funny romance that you won't be able to put down.

Meant to be
Another great book by this dynamic duo. And as soon as I read the blurb, with three infamous rules, I couldn’t stop smiling. I knew this was gonna be a fun read!
This story revolves around Nina and Travis. They have a bit of a history, giving him her v-card to him in her late teens. Those feelings never really got a chance to be explored or to develop.
There was so much angst and drama, and some of it stemming from simple, mutual misunderstandings. Their stubbornness not helping the situation. Other drama was just generated by a couple of real fruit-loops!
Being thrown together again in a temporary living arrangement will undoubtedly cause some issues. The way they navigate these and the relationship they begin to redevelop, is full of laughs and some frustration.
But there were plenty of sweet, romantic and super-HOT steamy moments. WOAH! I guess those old feelings never really go away (in this case anyway). The story was heart-warming and gives hope of finding true love.
I would definitely recommend this book, and as always, I look forward to these authors’ next writing project!

Another incredible story by Jenna Reed. Roommates & Thieves is book #3 in the “Breaking the rules series” and honestly this series has become one of my favorites because it’s supper funny, refreshing and sweet with some very romantic moments.
This book it’s a second chance, enemy to lovers, best friend’s sister that has Nina and Travis as the main characters.
The story stars when Nina finds herself in her apartment without nothing ( literally no furniture or spoons) after her crazy roommate steals all of her things and leaves her without half of the money for rent. Her brother Grady steps in bringing a solution for her as well as for his best friend Travis who is in town helping his parents an unfortunately loosing his room to his cousin. Grady doesn’t know that Nina and Travis Have history that ended in bad terms , but because they are both kind of desperate they accept to be roommates. In the beginning they try to avoid each other as much as possible but their chemistry and connection they shared it’s stronger. Neither of them wants to give in but when they do sparks fly and also some very sexy but quirky scenes that will make you laugh-out-load .
So definitely this is a must read, and I really hope there is more books in this series because they are crazy good.

Nina is not having a good moment in her life right now. She came home to her apartment being pretty much empty. Her ex-roommate took almost everything and left her high and dry. Now she has to find someone to help her with the rent. Her ever loving brother Grady has just the person. Travis is coming back to town to help his parents with some stuff. He will be staying for a little while and when he gets into town his parents inform him that he cant stay at their house. So against his better judgment he takes Grady up on the offer to stay with Nina. Nina doesn't like the idea anymore than Travis does but she knows that she wont make rent without his help. Things are already heated between these two because of something that happened in the past. Will these two be able to get past what happened and work things out? I loved the chemistry between Travis and Nina. She is one tough girl and wont take no crap from Travis. These two had quite the misunderstanding and hopefully will be able to get past it. You have to read the book to find out. An amazing well written enjoyable storyline about two amazing characters. I highly recommend this one. I cant wait to read the rest in this series.

Travis Westmister and Nina have a good story. It's fairly predictable, but cute all the same. This is one of those times where the miscommunication issues from five years earlier is probably a good thing. A little perspective can help and having that time also gives Nina some life experience - for better or worse.
The vulnerability and sweetness of Nina slam the realization into me, I love her. This is it. She is it for me.
-- Travis Westmister, age 19
Be prepared for silly, awkward, steamy, and a couple of *ouch* moments. It should be shocking to no one that the steamy ones are my faves. 😉
I do think this is my favorite of the series. There's a minor connection to the prior book, but this doesn't require additional reading.
I read along with the audio book. The narrators are Veronica Landon and Jeremy York. I like both of them. They are easy to listen to. 🎧🩷🎧

Oh poor Nina should be in a helmet and elbow pads. I’m surprised that at some point she wasn’t put into a cast. Nina is about as normal as can be but heavy on the dork. She hits her head and elbows a lot. There is even a hair cut she gets herself trapped into that will have you giggling and shaking your head. Travis is her brother’s best friend and a crazy girl magnet. They had a hookup as teens but after a misunderstanding he leaves. Him believing a lie and her confused and heartbroken. He comes back to help his parents and she gets screwed over by her roommate. Her brother, Grady, sticks them together in her apartment as a solution for both of them. From there all kinds of fun happens. There are a few minor spelling glitches for those of you who get stuck on stuff like that. This story is a good read. I laughed so much and they are just cute. I definitely recommend reading this.

This is such a great series. I just love Travis and Nina. Travis is back home to help his dad out and needs a place to stay. Nina’s roommate left and took everything and Nina needs someone to help with the rent. Grady is Nina’s brother and has the perfect plan. Travis can be Nina’s roommate since that is the only person he trusts to be around Nina. However, he doesn’t know their past. They decide on one month and see how it goes. During the first month things are a little awkward between them. This book had me laughing out loud and shaking my head. You want to tell them to knock it off and communicate. This is a great story about second chances and I loved all the characters. This was a seer and funny romance. These two are both crazy perfect for each other. They still have a connection that neither can deny and their chemistry is hot. You don’t need to read the other books to understand this one.

This is an amazing and wonderful story that will keep you laughing and cheering them on. Nina’s roommate decides to sneak away after stealing all of Nina’s things and leaving her to pay the rent alone. Her brother, Grady, finds what he thinks is the perfect solution when his friend, Travis, comes back to town and has no place to live. He brings him over to Nina’s without telling her who her new roommate will be, and the “fur flies”. Because Grady doesn’t know about their past relationship and bad breakup, she allows him to stay on as her roommate. Will they ever talk and realize the miscommunication? Can they forgive the past and work on a future?
I really enjoyed this book. The story line was good, well-paced, the characters charming and fun. Grab your copy and enjoy a sweet, fun rebuilding of what could turn into a delightful second chance.

Absolutely in love with this series!! This book may just be favorite of all, it was absolutely everything! A little bit of brothers best friend, meets enemies to lovers, but also a second chance romance.
When an incredible night together on the brink of a relationship, turns into a misunderstanding sending these two lovers apart, they both end up broken and scorned. Fast forward to a crazy, thief of a roommate, leaving Nina in need of a replacement to help with rent, while Travis is in need of somewhere to stay while back in town and let the fun begin. Their story was laugh out loud and also incredibly sweet! Travis was another swoony hero that completely captured my heart. Their chemistry was instant despite their mutual hesitations towards each other, and their journey back to together is one that shouldn't be missed. Whole heartedly recommend this book!!

This book was excellent! It was a second chance romance by the dynamic duo. It was also a romantic comedy with laugh out loud moments mixed in. Travis and Nina were amazing characters. Nina had absolutely the worst luck. She walks into her apartment that she shared with her roommate and the roommate bailed on her. Not only that, stole all of her furniture! Nina confides in her brother, Grady, that she needs a new roommate and fast. Grady tells her he will take care of it. Grady manages to get his best friend, Travis to commit. Travis and Nina have a complicated past. Neither of them really like being stuck together again but Travis needs a place to stay and Nina needs someone to help pay the bills. Maybe they will be able to rewrite history. This book is a must read and I highly recommend!

Story - 2 stars
A fun and quick read with some laugh out loud moments. However I find the plot a little too dull and the MCs too juvenile in dealing with their relationship.
Audio - 4 stars
The performance by Veronica Landon and Jeremy York was great. They kept the whole experience entertaining.

Communication is the key in this book. There was so many miscommunications in this book, I truly felt sorry for these characters. Not only that but, they both needed to mature some before they actually tried to have a relationship. I enjoyed the banter and all the laughable situations. I am so glad that everything was completely explained for all the misunderstandings and the reasons why Nina and Travis both felt hurt and betrayed by one another. In the end this book really came together and gave the reader what they been hoping for from the very beginning.

I received an arc for an honest review. This book brings us Nina and Travis. Nina is Grady's sister, and her roommate takes off with everything in her apartment. She needs to find a new roommate or she will be evicted. Grady enlists the help of his best friend Travis, as he is coming to their town to help his dad with work around his house - and he only expects to be there for a few weeks, to help Nina with the rent. Grady, however, doesn't know that Nina and Travis has a "thing" before he left without saying anything to Nina. She has never forgiven him for that, that is until they both find it harder and harder to stay away from each other. This is a great read and I highly recommend it.

Nina ,woke up to a nightmare, no one should every wake up to, so instead of mopping around, she picked herself and kept on moving. Sometimes it takes for you to move on to go back and redo things differently, thats where travis westmister comes in to play, he was her ex and her brother's friend. They suggest that he helped her with rent, During this time miscommunication and mistrust was brought forth and things were discussed that should've been done before. Can these two let go the past and renew what was broken or do they be roomates and have separates lives.
