Shhh pls don't tell my husband but yeah if I'd be Amelia, I would totally bang Justin too. hahah :-D LOL anyway, I just love Penelope's books. Always so sweet, so funny and so hot... And I hope you love this book as much as I did. :)Justin *swooooon*

Part OneRoomHate starts off with Amelia going back to her grandmother's beach house where she grew up before leaving to live with her dad at the age of fifteen. She left to get away from her best friend Justin after learning a secret he had kept from her. She always regretted her actions, but never had the courage to try to apologize to Justin. But now that her grandmother has passed away and left her and Justin the beach house, she might get her opportunity. When Justin shows up with his seriou...

4 'Barcode tattoo' Stars! I seized that Penelope Ward is with us this week in the Shh... Indie Star Chat (feel free to join the fun here: https://goo.gl/Zjtq0M) and decided to read her newest release which, I have to say, I was a little bit scared because of the mixed reviews. I am a fan of her books and this one, even though is not my favourite by hers, I definitely enjoyed!RoomHate is a stand-alone novel and it tells the story of Amelia Payne and Justin Banks. These two started as best frie...

Audiobook reviewDNF @ Chapter 16/24This brought out a lot of emotions for me, but sadly they weren't the kind of emotions I want to feel when reading/listening to a book. I felt annoyed, frustrated, and pissed off at times throughout the first 16 chapters of listening this book. I'll add a spoiler tag for my breakdown of what didn't work for those of you that don't love spoilers like I do ;)(view spoiler)[- The narrator wasn't the best. I really didn't enjoy her male voice, and I think that it c...

DNF at 25%. Oh Gentle Reader! Gentle Reader! As you know, i wasn't gifted the Angry Reader moniker - i earned it. On a popular sports romance book that sent me into a tizzy the likes these hallowed halls have rarely seen. Something about a threesome and then his dick only wanting her. Bc it's rational when our sex organs make our decisions. But i digress. I'd been so happy lately - reading the recommendations of the Book SoulMate. Avoiding romance books at all costs. But this one had so many goo...

::: FULL REVIEW NOW POSTED ::: 4.5 stars :::WOW!! What an addictive, unputdownable book!! It was a mix of crazy intense angst and the most heart-warming love story you can imagine — a total emotional rollercoaster with twist after twist that kept me glued to the page. I absolutely LOVED it!! 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

I'm a sucker for angsty, forbidden love stories that put you through the ringer. 'RoomHate' is exactly that type of story. I loved every minute of this book, even when I hated it!This is a story of first loves and broken hearts. Telling the story of two childhood friends that life took in different directions, only to bring them back together years later, 'RoomHate' is a gripping emotional read. It's amazing how some loves stay with you forever, despite your every effort to move on.When Amelia's...

This is the kind of read that you'll have to devour in one sitting or you will feel like you're being tortured while you wait to read again. Trust me, people. It is THAT good. If you have a weakness for those sexy soulful musician types, Justin will ring ALL your bells. 10 times over. Minimum. I was a bit wary at first, thinking that there would be cheating and you may read at ease. There is no cheating and with the exception of one sexy as hell voyeuristic moment there isn't anything inappropos...

I look like a total knob head sitting here with permanent smile slapped on my face but I don’t give a fuck! I’ve just finished one of the most beautiful books I have ever read!! Oh my fuck I’m just so giddy as fuck right now! I want to do naked cartwheels round the living room! I knew going into this book I was going to get the same feels I always do when reading a Penelope Ward book and RoomHate is most definitely up there with one of the greats. The thing I love about her books is that it’

I really wasn’t sure what to expect with Roomhate, but after reading the blurb, I knew I had to take a chance. I am not a huge fan of second chance romances or the friends to lovers story. BUT this friends to lovers story was just something more, special and I adored it!Justin and Amelia were best friends growing up, but when Amelia was fifteen she moved away. We don’t know all the details but know that this move destroyed their friendship. It’s been years and now they are brought back together

2.5 Stars I usually like this author's work, but this one didn't work for me. I didn't enjoy the love story and the prose felt stilted and a little monotoned at times. The ending, however, was simply fabulous.

2.5 StarsI did not hate this book, but I didn't especially love it either. Since this book came out and basically became a hype, I was so thrilled to read it especially because the synopsis is so interesting and I've been hearing lots of good things about Penelope Ward. That's why I'm so bummed thinking about how this book became a disappointment for me.At 1-10%, I found the story promising. My reaction was like,At 11% to 39%, At 40-43%,At 44% onwards...I guess I just didn't like the plot and ho...

Max 2.5 stars!This book starts with an intense feeling of angst, regret, frustration, lust, attraction and sexual tension that whatever the heroine feels, you feel. The writer makes sure with her talented writing that all these feelings are conveyed to you as strongly as they are felt by the heroine. I was aching in my heart while turning the pages, sobbing every now and then…OK, I know I will be in the minority but, then I was disappointed about the direction the story took. All this anger, the...

*LIVE! Amazon US * Amazon UK RoomHate is a sweet enemies-to-lovers romance with all the lovely trademarks of a second chance love story. It’s about fear, hope and never ending, all consuming love. I was super excited to begin my first Penelope Ward story and knew that I was in for a sexy reading treat with plenty of emotions on display and palpable chemistry, and I have to say that I was not disappointed. I got my feels and a dose of warm emotion whilst reading about the romance of Justin and Am...

listen, i’m a childhood friends to lovers / second chance romance enthusiast so don’t even try to remind of the breast milk scene in here ok 👩‍🦯👩‍🦯—nO it’s not a steamy scene ahshahsh

“Sometimes the thing we fear more than anything, is really what our soul craves the most.” I must be on a roll ladies and gentlemen. I sordidly read through the whole of Roomhate thinking that it was going to kick in soon. That 4-5 star rating had to be somewhere near. I'm lying of course, from chapter 1 - I could already tell that this book wasn't for me due to a plethora of reasons but I trudged on like the true book-soldier I am, because I'm a sucker for childhood lovers romance. There wa

"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Anytime she goes away" Discovering Penelope Ward was an excellent surprise for me. I really like her style, her pattern of writing and the sweet mixture she adds in every book: love, hate, rediscovery and happy ever after. Room Hate was the first read for me and I've loved it from the beginning. The characters were amazing and made a wonderful pair, despite their d

Trepidation...was strong with this book. With half my friends loving it and the other half DNF'ing it, I was torn. However, I have really enjoyed the other P.W.'s books I've read so I couldn't let this one pass me by. And that was a good thing overall. I had an issue with the lack of maturity in some of their sexual "situations/thoughts/etc" which was really odd considering there is a real lack of sex scenes! But I digress...back to the story! Justin and Amelia basically grew up together, both o...
