Rebel Roommate (Falling for the Stars) Kindle Edition

A college co-ed moves in with her brother on one condition — stay away from his baseball stud roommate.

"Their story was a roller coaster. It's an entertaining, easy read, and at times heart breaking. And there's humor, drama, frustration, swoony moments, and so much more. " -OMG Reads

Blurb:
Growing up, I had one rule: stay away from my brother’s best friend.

It was easy to follow. I spent my years avoiding the boys on the baseball team, studying hard, and saving every dime I could.

When I was accepted to transfer into UC Berkeley, I needed a place to live, and my brother had a free room off-campus. Win-win, right? Except that best friend I was determined to stay away from is now my new roommate.

My very naughty, very rebellious roommate, Wesley Knight.

The boy who was once the bane of my existence with his constant teasing is now a drop-dead gorgeous athlete. He’s the life of the party, but I can’t have fun.

According to Wes, no guys are allowed to talk to me. Well, two can play at this game. If I can’t date, then neither can he. It starts off as innocent fun. Some half-naked yoga or a little flirting until an interrupted moment of self-gratification turns things dangerous … for my body and my heart.

Living with my brother and his best friend has me breaking all the rules. I just have to decide if the consequences are worth the reward.

★★★★★ "Loved, loved, loved this new book in the Zodiac themed series. It was full of melty moments and good hearted fun that this writing duo has perfected." - Kay Daniels Romance


★★★★★ "The plot, the steam, the romance. All of it was written with so much passion and emotions it was almost unreal. This book blew me away. I'm so glad I stumbled across these new-to-me authors at the end of 2020, because this little series is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!" - Lauren, aka Coffee and the Bibliophile


★★★★★ "Oh, I am a puddle of goo right now! I just finished this book and it was exactly what I needed! These two authors are my favorite duo writers, they sync so seamless together you would never know they aren't one person!" - Janet Taggart Baldwin (Goodreads)


★★★★★ "Full of flirty banter, alphaholes, and frat boys, Rebel Roommate was a fun read, and a great addition to the Signs series." - BJ's Book Club


★★★★★ "A wonderful standalone in a series I simply can't get enough of. Highly recommend and suggested that this book be bumped to the top of your TBR list." - Wonder Tre Reads


★★★★★ "The connections between the characters in this book were so well written that the reader can feel the tension brewing. Once again the writing duo of Jeannine Colette and Lauren Runow bring happiness and entertainment to the readers while allowing everyone involved to fall in love." - The Overflowing Bookcase

Authors Jeannine Colette and Lauren Runow “knocked it out of the park” with Rebel Roommate, the newest release in the Falling For The Stars romance series! This brother’s best friend romance was just what I needed to get my fix of my favorite trope! It was SO damn good!!!

Wes (Wesley Delmont Knight) is an Aquarius, a catcher on the UC Berkeley baseball team, a roommate to Stacey’s brother Chad…and now a roommate to her as well. He has deep hidden feelings and a difficult past, which has made his attitude toward relationships less than desirable.

The reason why many people have difficulty understanding Wes is because he has contrasting personality traits. He is thoughtful, intellectual, independent, and confident. He can also be unpredictable, unemotional, and disconnected. Maybe that’s what Amanda meant when she said he’s a typical Aquarius.

Stacey (squid) Brightmore has just transferred to UC Berkeley, and to save money, becomes her brother and Wes’s roommate. Everyone has been warned to keep their hands (and other body parts) away from “Chad’s Sister”…by both Chad, and Wes…however…not everyone has the strength to keep this rule…especially when there is a history.

“I have a confession to make,” I breathe. “I cheated. I made it stop on you.” A huge smile graces his face. “I have a confession of my own.” “What’s that?” He comes forward, pushing me to my back on the wide bench in the dugout, sprawling me out as he lays his body over mine. “I watched you do it, and I didn’t stop you.”

I absolutely ADORE this writing duo! Lauren and Jeannine write an amazing storyline that keeps you so engaged in the story that you don’t want to stop reading! The characters are so fun, enjoyable, and relatable! I really loved not only Wes & Stacey, but the supporting characters, especially Chad, Nicole, Mom & Dad, Nathan, Matt and Amanda. This one made me miss my college days, made me cry, made me…hot!, gave me serious heartbreak, and filled my heart with happiness…ALL THE FEELS in this one! 5 Aquarius-loving stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read

I enjoyed many things about this story. The brother’s best friend trope is one I like to read. The taboo, the sneaking around, the secrets, the thrill of almost getting caught.

It was obvious from the moment Stacey walked through the door that Wes thought of Stacey as more than Chad’s little sister. From the comments to his teammates, to sitting next to her on the couch, to the heated looks.

The flirting and the banter between these two was fun and sometimes blurred the line. The teasing and the taunting was entertaining. Their friendship was cute, the chemistry between them was strong. When they both finally gave in and acted on their feelings, they definitely brought passion to the pages. And the steam levels were high.

But nothing that good can last forever, right? They were bound to get caught. And boy, did they get caught.

I’m thinking my age may be a factor as to why I couldn’t relate to the characters at times. But that is my fault, I am much I’m older than them, LOL. That being said, I was able to get over it and move on and enjoy much of the story.

And I must mention, I didn’t care for Stacey’s brother. Chad made it hard to like him. His reaction to finding out about them was over the top cruel. His words were harsh and hurtful to a long-time best friend. I understand him being upset and wanting to protect his sister, but really, it was none of his business. Chad was a douche. There, I said it.

Thank goodness for the chapter from Wes’s POV. To get into his head helped, and brought me back to loving the story. The last couple of chapters definitely made me happier. The swoony gestures from Wes made me smile big.

I would’ve liked an HEA instead of an HFN. But overall, it was an enjoyable story.

I’m curious to see what the next sign will be!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stacey and Wes are so much more than a Rom-Com - witty, heartwarming, angst, LOVE
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021

Jeannine Colette and Lauren Runow have hit this one out of the park. I have loved each one of these fantastic tales but Rebel Roommate is the one for me.
Stacey needs a place to live when she finally is able to transfer to UC Berkely. Of course her brother and his best friend are already there and so she is able to stay with them. Is this really a good idea? These two have made her life a living hell when it comes to dating. Her brother Chad has already warned the whole baseball team to stay away from her. And of course she has had a "thing" for her brother's best friend Wesley ever since they first met. This cohabitation is going to be a battle of wits for her - and so let the games begin.
Although stocked full of witty banter and devilish games, what really pulled me in with this story is the back story of the characters and all the angst and emotion between these two characters as well as the family dynamics. Rebel Roommate encompasses and explores more than just the love story of Wes and Stacey but also the love of family albeit whatever shape and size and diversity it comes in. You will want to immerse yourself in this one. Supplies needed for reading this book - Tissues for tears of laughter and sorrow, a good blanket, a very comfortable sofa, chair or bed, proper lighting, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and the time to read straight through as you won't want to put this one down!

What a gorgeous yet pain filled tale.

I cried when his family showed their true TRUE colours... damn man nearly got a busted lip from me!

There is a fine line between love and hate... and frustration and secrecy blur it!
