Book Tour & Review~ RoomHate by Penelope Ward


Swoon-worthy Justin Banks is FINALLY HERE in

RoomHate by Penelope Ward!

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?

Not when it’s Justin…the only person I’d ever loved…who now hates me.

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise.

The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.

The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.

I hadn’t seen him in years, and now we’re living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house.

The worst part? He didn’t come alone.

I’d soon realize there’s a thin line between love and hate. I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection.

The problem is…now that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.

Author's note – RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Penelope Ward continues to provide the world with these amazing men. The woman is a magician. Just when you think you know exactly how the story is going to go, she puts a little spin on it. Nothing that will spiral you out of control, but it will pull you in and not let go. "I never hated you. I couldn't hate you if I tried. Believe me, I have tried." RoomHate. Just the name I was thinking, "oh hell yes this is going to be filled with dirty, hate screwing" and I love a good friends to enemies to lovers story. We will get to that, but this story gives you more than just two people from the past hitting the sheets, it gives you the smolder. The burn, the need that is just out of reach, the want. I felt the want right along with them. Even though the characters were frustrating at times, I loved their journey. I also just adored Justin Banks. Justin is awesome. Amelia's description of Justin is spot on: "Justin Banks was equal parts insane and adorable.". Insane, adorable and can sing? Sign me up! As much as I loved Justin and I even liked Jade, I loved Justin and Amelia together. Their flashbacks to the past, their dirty digs at each other in the present and the inner dialogue of their futures...did they have a future? You will want to know! This is a story you need to be "roomies" with.
