My Brother's Roommate

Wolfie Cox is not the kind of man you bring home to meet the family — especially when he already lives with your brother. Guarded, infuriatingly attractive, and allergic to anything resembling warmth, he's exactly the sort of complication a practical, good-girl protagonist has no business wanting. But when a work conference demands a plus-one and Wolfie gets volunteered against his will, proximity starts doing what logic never could. My Brother's Roommate is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story with real emotional stakes underneath the banter — two people who've built walls for reasons that actually make sense, reluctantly dismantling them.

Kendall Ryan writes with a light, conversational touch that makes pages disappear. The first-person voice here is sharp and funny without tipping into farce — the narrator's self-awareness about her own contradictions gives the romance a grounded quality that elevates it above standard trope fare. Ryan understands that the best tension in this genre lives in the small moments: a loaded pause, a favor that crosses a line, a confession that comes out sideways. Readers who enjoy witty heroines and heroes whose softness has to be earned will find this one hard to put down.
