Juliette Foster is a college sophomore out of options. After being forced to move out of her dorm, thanks to a roommate who fails to respect boundaries, Juliette is welcomed back into the loving home she grew up in.
Problem is, her parents have gotten comfortable with their daughter being away at college. Juliette feels they may be a little too comfortable, actually.
Not wanting to cramp her parents'...extra-curricular activities, Juliette takes to Craigslist in order to find a solution. After weeding through the weirdos and the jerks, she stumbles upon one particular ad that seems too good to be true.
Her potential landlord, Greyston Masters, is an extremely sought after sports agent who travels a lot for work, and is in desperate need of someone to watch over his large Arizona home while away. With the possibility of a quiet place to study, and at an amazing rate, Juliette jumps at the opportunity.
Unfortunately, what Juliette had hoped to be a distraction-free zone turns out to be anything but.
Just how good is the view being advertised?

The progression was perfect for me. Not too insta-lovey but also no too slow either. We got a huge portion of them actually being in a relationship together which I really appreciate.
I feel like a lot of books now and days are all the same it's this great big build up to get the main characters together and then the book ends a few chapters later leaving you unsatisfied, sometimes even with an epilogue.
I was so happy that there was relatively no drama aside from the very beginning and a smidge at the end. But everything worked out beautifully.
I loved Greyston. Perfect hero. No past traumas that cause the push and pull between the main characters that I'm so tired of. He was sweet and charming with a hint of dirty to him.
Juliette I liked her, not as much as Greyston. She was kind of boring but had her moments I suppose. She was younger than him by 6/7 yrs but you would never know. She really held her own. The only complaint I had about her was her constantly talking about her mom and dad with the sex. I feel like she was over exaggerating half the time. They'd kiss and she automatically had them having sex all over the house. It was slightly annoying but nothing I couldn't overlook.
The book, even though there was an epilogue felt like it just ended abruptly.
All in all I enjoyed the characters AND the story line. It was a new take on the whole roommate thing and it came together nicely.
This book was just okay. unfortunately, the book didn't make the characters fight for each other. everything was perfect and boring. When Gemma kissed Greyston, it was already 330 out of 384 pages. A book is supposed to contain struggle, you want characters to fight for their, love for their future. By doing so, you will make when they come together so much sweeter. The amount of time spent on their relationship was nice, but they had no real struggle. Plot is pretty much as follows: Juliette moves into amazing house with hot, rich landlord (Greyston) Juliette falls for said landlord Gemma kisses Greyston, Juliette gets pissed Greyston admits his love and Juliette does too marriage, then Happily Ever After What? I'm sure A.D. Ryan gave their best effort, but I would not recommend this book and I wouldn't read it again.

I honestly didn't find this book or characters interesting. I kept waiting and hoping for something, anything, to happen, but there was barely any conflict. This book just seemed to go on for WAYYYYY too long. It felt a lot longer than it actually was.
While I wouldn't say this book is Bad... I will say it's kind of boring. The characters and story were very cute, but nothing really happened. I found myself frequently skimming pages at a time. There was nothing to overcome, no real conflict (and I'm not a fan of stupid, unnecessary drama either, but there has to be something to keep the reader engaged!), nothing interesting happened- at all. Unless you count the h's parents getting caught going at it... again, which was kinda funny...
Not as good as Just a Number for me personally, but still a good read. I really enjoyed the first 70% or so but I felt the end didn't live up to the beginning.
Overall a really sweet and cute read, with very little angst.
