Resisting the Roommate

by Jessa Kane

College freshman Shea's apartment just flooded. Good thing her roommate Emma's father lives in the next town. When he answers the door, Shea is expecting an average dad. Instead, she's now staying in the guest room of a big, tatted construction worker and desperately trying not to notice the confusing...and exciting effect this man twice her age has on her body. When Jason and Shea end up alone one night, intimate confessions bring them up against temptation no one could withstand. And when their hearts get involved, they'll have to choose between true love and judgment. Which will prevail?

Her apartment floods…and so do her PANTIES! Jessa Kane smacks you silly with another forbidden Daddy kink & age gap romance 🫦💦 feed us, mother!!

Shea’s apartment just flooded and now she has to move in with her roommate’s Dad. Of course, he’s a 6’6’’ beefy giant she just can’t resist. Their romance hits right with forbidden age gap smuttiness seasoned with size difference and abundance of dirty talk.

💦 he CAN’T RESIST

💦 she likes being told what to do

💦 Daddy dom mmc *the best kind*

There’s something about him being overwhelmed by his attraction & not being able to help himself even though HE KNOWS SHE’S OFF LIMITS.

I really should not have read this while at work. Sheesh that was hot. It’s typical OTT Jessa Kane and I gobbled it down like a hotdog on the 4th of July!

A fortune of flesh. Sweet, supple flesh. Eyes that beg for an education. A Daddy, God help me.

Shea (18, virgin, interior design student) finds herself displaced when the ceiling of her apartment collapses. Thankfully, her roommate offers up her dad’s place for them to crash at.

….if I’m going down for my sins, I might as well enjoy them.

Jason Ruston (36, construction co. owner) is happy to spend time with his daughter, until that plan goes sideways when her way-too-young roommate walks through the door.

She’s the most luscious forbidden fruit on the vine… And I’ve just taken a huge bite out of her.

Woo wee!!! That sex is FIRE. He took her to pound town at least 3 times. She provided a blowie, and even though he nibbled at the goods, he never completed the task, which was a HUGE disappointment. Jessa, girlfriend, WTF were you thinking??? How could you not provide an oral “O” for our sweet virgin?!?!?!

I loved that the Daddy kink wasn’t as crazy as it is in some of JK’s other books. There’s very mild age play, like barely a blip. I think it all worked well in this book.

Even though JK failed to deliver on the oral, she still delivered the goods in the end.

This was straight up dirtyyyyyy daddy smut & I loved every nasty second of it.

10/10 recommend if you’re tryna have a good time 🤭🥵

Shea & her roommate, Emma’s, apartment floods late one night & they need to find a place to stay asap. Emma calls up her dad & they’re able to stay there for a bit but Shae wasn’t expecting a huge, tatted up daddy when she walks into his house who looks like he could eat her up (& may end up doing just that 💦💦💦). This was so hot. Their dynamic was hot & UGH I LOVE THE SNEAKING AROUND!!!!!! “Just this once” yeah okay 😉

DNF.

She is barely 18 and she and her roommate go to the roommate's dad's house when their dorm room had an incident.

He is lusting hard after his daughter's roommate and honestly?.....with all the Epstein stuff happening with young kids.....I couldn't read this.

“Resisting the Roommate” is the story of Shea and Jason.

A sexy age gap romance between the young heroine and the older best friend’s father hero.
Loads of age play, forbidden sex and breeding smut in this one. Happy ending.

Jessa Kane is a guilty pleasure when I need something quick, and I had a book I planned to read releasing today now so it was serendipity🤷‍♀️

He's as thick as a rolled up newspaper and fucking ancient at the age of 36. I kept getting attacked as an ancient hag but love the horny pursuing heroine riding that thicc rolled up newspaper. Classic Kane.

make sure your 🌹 is charged.
tear drops down legs. Shea and Jason were hot asf.

•••••••••

“I’m not your father, but I am your Daddy, aren’t I, Shea?”

“….veiny, stiff…as big and thick as a rolled-up newspaper. The Sunday Times, even.”

“I’m obsessed with you, my wife. Every second of the day is about you. Every bite of food I take, I just want to know what it would taste like in your sweet mouth. Every step I take, I know it would be better if I was carrying you. My angel. My angel. I adore you.”

Review of Resisting the Roommate by Jessa Kane
* * * * *
Your spicy age gap romance is here! Secret relationship, check. Forbidden love, check. Sugar daddy goodness, check!

Shea is your average eighteen year old, wanting to dive into her dream career as an interior designer. She's doing well in school, has become good friends with her roommate...and now their apartment is flooded and all her things are destroyed.
Enter Jason...roomie's hot 36 year old father who stirs up naughty feelings and thoughts.
He's happy to help, though, the chemistry between them is starting to become to unbareable to ignore. Will it all be a fleeting moment? Will it only be a secret arragement? Or will it be love that can be accepted by the one person they don't want to hurt?

Another banger by Jessa Kane, never disappoints.
Hot and naughty and possessive. Well written. Sucks you right in to the point you just have to finished the whole book in one go!

[torylee 🦇💕 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Jessa Kane never disappoints when you need a spicy quick read. I love devouring Jessa Kane books when I’m in a slump and need something with low plot and high spice.

Even though the plots may not be groundbreaking they still grab your attention and don’t let go. They are so addictive. By the time you’re done, you’ve read like 10 of her books 🤣

[newborn reader - 74 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Classic Jessica Kane (thanks Tierney for your recommendation)!!!

If you don’t like smut, you won’t like this.

This is one of my fave JK books, quick, plot was okay and the chemistry between Jason and Shea was on fire!!! Hoo ha!

Typical Jessa Kane smutty novella

[Melanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve read a ton of Jessa Kane and this newest release from her is without doubt, the best one I’ve ever read. It is everything we’ve come to know and love from the Queen of Daddy Kink but so much more with BDSM coming into a staring role.

tired of authors sneaking in weird p*do things in their books.

[ANA GARCIA · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the second book I’ve read by Jessa Kane, and once again, it absolutely delivers on the spice.

Resisting the Roommate is a short, steamy novella built around undeniable chemistry and an instant, love-at-first-sight connection between Shea and Jason. The premise is simple but effective: Shea, Jason’s daughter’s best friend—and very much the “good girl”—suddenly finds herself under his roof after her apartment ceiling caves in. Jason, a tall, tattooed construction company owner, wasn’t looking for anything at all—especially not to find himself drawn to his daughter’s best friend, a woman half his age.

What follows is a fast-paced story centered on their intense physical attraction, which quickly deepens into something emotional. There’s no heavy angst, no drawn-out misunderstandings, and no dramatic cliffhangers—just pure chemistry, high heat, and a straightforward romance that knows exactly what it’s delivering.

If you’re looking for a quick, entertaining read packed with spice and instant connection, this novella will easily keep you hooked for a couple of hours. It’s uncomplicated, steamy, and exactly what you’d expect from Jessa Kane—in the best way.

[Emily McGregor · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you're looking for a quick, spicy escape, Resisting the Roommate definitely delivers. This novella is short, steamy, and perfect for when you want something indulgent you can finish in a single sitting. Jess Kane has a talent for creating intense chemistry right from the start, and the tension between the characters pulls you in immediately.
The attraction is instant and electric, and the story doesn't waste time getting to the moments readers of this genre are looking for. It's bold, playful, and unapologetically spicy.
What makes this novella both satisfying and frustrating is its length.
While it's perfect as a quick read, the characters and their dynamic are so engaging that it leaves you wishing tor more depth and a longer story. Just when you feel fully invested, it ends, and you're left imagining how great it would have been as a full-length novel.
Overall, Resisting the Roommate is a fun, fast, and very steamy read that hits the spot if you want something short and indulgent. Just be prepared-you might finish it wishing there were a few hundred more pages.

If you were to knock on my forehead you’d be able to hear how hollow it was.

Tropes

- Virgin FMC
- INSTAlust
- Age Gap
- Bestfriend’s Dad

If I want to turn my brain off and just enjoy some smutty fun, reading Jessa Kane books is the way to go. They are short, uncomplicated, and very easy to consume. There’s no high stakes drama and there’s lots of spice. Does everything make sense every single time? No. Does it need to? No. Do I even want it to? No even a little bit. Under 100 pages of writing that always leaves me with the phrase, “Well that was interesting” and a smile on my face.

3.75/5 ✨

Awh, this didn’t give what my favorites by JK gave but it was alright. The H was… dare I say, too sane for what I’m used to from her 😂 However, I enjoyed that they weren’t separated & the daughter didn’t cut ties with them after the cat was out of the bag.



Anywhooooo…

•that the h finishes school & gets settled into her career
