Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 stars!<\/p>\n

Alexandria Harrington, aka Alex, is in her late twenties and works for the House of Jazz which is slowly starting to go under. The only way to save the club is to book amazing bands which is exactly what she is doing in NYC. She also has\u00a0her younger brother\u2019s wedding to attend in the city and she doesn’t want to show up without a date now\u00a0that she knows her ex will be there. She desperately needs a plan. Enter Ben Williams.<\/p>\n

Ben is the sweet, sexy room service guy who is in the right\u00a0place at the right time and\u00a0Alex convinces him\u00a0to play her fake boyfriend. What begins as a pretend relationship to keep her family off her back becomes so much more as Alex and Ben get to know each out. But relationships\u00a0aren’t easy when you have preconceived notions of how things should be. A secret that’s revealed takes everyone by surprise and not in the best way for Alex. Quick to react she may ruin the best thing in her life.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a picture perfect moment. It\u2019s the kind of moment you show your kids in the family photo albums…
\nHopefully none of those photos contain images of me glancing across the room, a long face on, mentally scrolling through all the mistakes I\u2019ve ever made and trying to catch a glimpse of what\u2019s probably my biggest mistake to date.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Room Service<\/i> is a fun, sweet, sexy, and swoony romance revolving around a fake relationship and I loved it! It’s a quick, lighthearted\u00a0read and\u00a0I easily finished it in one sitting because I didn’t want to put it down.<\/p>\n

Ben and Alex are great together. \u00a0They play the part of girlfriend\/boyfriend better than expected and I loved the they just fit together. Alex is fun, awkward, and has a quirky personality. I loved the commentary in her head and all of her silliness. She is carefree but also hard working even though she comes from a wealthy family and I loved that she didn’t just take everything that was handed to her. \u00a0She really wanted to make something of herself and that made me like her even more. When Alex\u00a0finds herself in a bind I loved that she is straightforward with what she needs and goes all in.\u00a0Ben is delicious. He’s sweet, funny, sexy and totally swoon worthy material. He was\u00a0the perfect\u00a0pretend boyfriend\u00a0and\u00a0was a great sport with all of the spur of the moment requests. I loved that his character had depth and there was more to him than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

From the beginning the\u00a0chemistry between Alex and Ben was palpable but there is so much more than just the instant attraction they felt for one another. I love how Alex and Ben\u00a0take the time to really get to know each other and enjoy spending time together. Though Alex let him into her life immediately, Ben wasn’t quick to open up so when he did it was beautiful to see the trust and honesty between them.<\/p>\n

Overall, this was an enjoyable romantic comedy from a new-to-me author and I am looking forward to reading more from Poppy Dunne.<\/p>\n
