Room Service by Fiona Riley
5.0
Room Service by Fiona Riley is a really good romance about what lengths one is willing to go for love. If you are a fan of her Miss Match books, then you will really like Room Service.
Olivia and Savannah are thrown together when Savannah’s firm contracts out a series of projects to the design company that Olivia works for. They dance around their attraction for each other until they simply can’t deny that attraction or the friendship that is developing along the way. This book is a traditional romance in that it follows the formula: two main characters fall in love; an outside force causes a misunderstanding which breaks them up; and then everything is resolved for a happy ending. What sets this apart from most romances is the chemistry between Olivia and Savannah. It is blistering to say the least.
Riley creates two main characters that are ideal for each other and she doesn’t just tell us they are. She shows us their unique personalities, their vulnerabilities and their quirks. They each have subtle idiosyncrasies that make them completely relatable. The slow burn that builds between them is hotter than anything else I have read by this author, which kept me glued to the book.
The story is told in the third person and it moves between Olivia and Savannah’s points’ of view. I never felt like there was head hopping going on because Riley deftly moves between the two so seamlessly. The dialogue is witty while still remaining natural.
My only criticism of the book was that the final resolution felt a little rushed to me, but this is something that I realize might just be my reaction to the book and not something other readers might have a problem with.
I would definitely recommend this book. If you are new to this author it’s a great place to start or if you are familiar with her books, you won’t be disappointed.
I was given an ARC of this book by the publisher via NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review.
