About this listen

An injured rugby star, his pregnant roommate, and one rule they can’t break: Don’t date the owner’s daughter.

It was supposed to be an easy house- and dog-sitting gig while the owner was gone for a month. But when my sportsing landlord comes home unexpectedly, injured and in need of a new arrangement, we end up as accidental roommates instead.

But if Holt Webster, the tall, thick-muscled, square-jawed, broody-eyed rugby player, had told me he played for the Copper Valley Pounders, I would’ve told him that my stepdad bought the team while I was working cruise ships overseas.

And he would’ve noped out of offering me a place to stay because the only thing worse than looking like you’re flirting with the owner’s daughter is looking like you’re hooking up with the owner’s pregnant daughter.

Yes, yes, I’m that woman—the one who accidentally got knocked up, decided to keep the baby, and had to move home because pregnancy and cruise ships aren’t a good match.

And now I’m that woman who doesn’t just look like she’s hooking up with an off-limits player. I actually am hooking up with an off-limits player. But who can blame me? He’s hot. He’s kind. And he’s spending our nights sleeping with his hand on my baby bump.

Claiming us both.

But if my dad finds out, Holt’s gone. And we’ll be…rucked.

The Roommate Mistake is a heart-tugging sports romcom featuring two people in need of new best friends, a dog with an attitude, and a very…fowl…meet-cute. It stands alone and comes complete with a found family happily ever after.
Content note: This book contains a character dealing with the loss of his brother to cancer.

Love this romcom!

Laugh, cry, love, Pippa Grant has a true gift at bringing all the feels. This book had me from the start, and then had me when Jessica the dog came in! Ziggy's pregnancy has her coming back to her parent's town to settle down. But they can be stifling. Needing her own space, she takes up Holt's offer to house sit while he goes to Europe. She would have the place to herself along with his dog and give her the space to help her find her own place. But an injury has him home early, as the two butt heads and get to know each other. But the most important thing was never discussed. Finding out her stepdad owns the team this rugby player is on adds a new dimension of difficulty to the scene. Grant had me laughing from the beginning. The chemistry is strong between these two, the banter their foreplay and the dog the comic relief. I was laughing out loud! Loving Holt is easy. His heart is huge and he is just lovable. Ziggy is loyal and unforgiving when she knows she is right. I love her steadfast love. But Jessica the dog is the standout. Loved her. This is a fabulous addition to the CV Pounders series. Always a pleasure to listen to Grant's books.

Connor Crais and Kit Swann are the perfect picks for this narration. Crais has the warmth in his voice that is Holt. The good man he is, the huge heart he has and the love he gives all come through his voice. Swann gives the best internal monologue voice as Ziggy talks to herself, coming to the best decisions and loving Holt. The comedic timing is spot on and I loved their performance.

Funny and Emotional

While this one was funny, Holt and Ziggy’s story has more emotion than book one, but no less laughs. The dog was freaking hilarious and I love that Holt’s brother could talk to it. I really liked Ziggy’s sister. But the ex friend of hers was a wanker. Also through out the book, the devastation Ziggy felt over losing her bff kind of got on my nerves. That part was repetitive, but other than that their story was so much fun!

All the swoons!

This is the swooniest book I’ve encountered in a long time. It ticked boxes I didn’t know existed. From the hilarious meet cute to the final bonus epilogue it was perfection. Holt is the strong yet vulnerable type of hero I love (shades of Ares Berger) and Ziggy makes me want to hug her and offer to be her new bestie. I won’t rehash the plot but it was really satisfying and felt “right”. These people were meant to find each other and life was supposed to happen this way.

As always, the audio narration was outstanding. I’m more familiar with Connor Crais as a narrator than I am with Kit Swann but they were excellent together. I’m so excited rugby romance is becoming more popular and hope there are more Copper Valley Pounders stories in the future.

Whispersync

Pippa Grant is an auto-buy author for me, and I really like Connor Crais. I’m not as familiar with Kit Swann but I have at least one other book she did in my library, so buying the audiobook was an easy decision. One I mostly regretted. At first I thought it was the story (pregnancy trope isn’t my favorite) but then I realized it’s KS’s narration. She went so far over the top her character was almost cartoonish and it was ruining the story for me. Her voice is good but the acting needed to be dialed way back. I bought the audiobook with the Whispersync discount and still had the ebook in my KU library, so I started switching back and forth, listening to CC’s chapters in Audible and reading KS’s chapters in Kindle. I enjoyed the book a lot more after that. I needed to get some projects done around the house so I got up and was productive during the listening chapters and let myself sit and take a break during the ebook chapters. I do recommend the book. Whether you choose the audiobook or ebook or a combination of both depends on your tolerance for someone being super UP all the time.

I loved it

It might be my mood…it might be that I have read everything Pippa has written, and I miss her… but this hit home. The slow build in the shower — yikes— swoon— sigh. The external conflict (as opposed to harshness between the protagonists) was refreshing. The full on recognition and support of love. Thank you. I need to fill my romantic soul via romance novels, and this hit home for me.

A great laugh out loud romance

* 4.25 stars *
Ok, that opening scene with the rotisserie chicken had me cracking up! It wasn’t just what happened, it was his inner dialogue that kept me laughing! Pippa Grant always has great pets in the stories and Jessica was no exception… I loved her petty ways of putting men in their place! The side characters were great (except for the ex best friend) and they all kept me entertained during this fast romance. Kit Swann and Connor Crais did a great job narrating!

Hilarious Feel Good Adorably Sweet Sexy Sports RomCom!

"He wants to slay dragons for me."

"You make me feel loved."
"You are."

Having a bad day? Work was too much this week? Weather got you down? The answer is get your favorite drink, snack and cuddle blanket and read (or listen to) the hilarious feel good The Roommate Mistake, by the queen of sexy sweet sports romcoms, Pippa Grant.

Last week I got an early birthday present (Today's my birthday!) when I received a surprise package with 2 different covers on it. One with a sexy rugby athlete and the other the adorable cover above.
Once I started reading the crazy wild meet cute between Holt and Ziggy I couldn't stop...until I found out that the comedic talent Kit Swann and the deep sensual voice of Connor Crais were the voices for the audiobook. So worth the treat to myself. Listening to these two brings all of this writer's creative fun, swoon, drama, steam and love to life.

He's injured. She's pregnant (not his baby). Unlikely roommates. His dog hates him. His dog loves her. She can only eat potatoes because of morning sickness. He calls her baby bump Tater Tot. They're falling in like. Uh oh! He didn't know her step dad owns his rugby team. She didn't either. Number one rule, don't date the owner's daughter! And never ask about Naked Tuesdays😬

This rom com got me out of a funk. It made me laugh, cry a bit and believe there are men who will still slay dragons, or team owners, for their lady. Also, sometimes a mistake leads to the right path.

I received a free copy of this book from Hambright_pr for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

Kit swann ruined it

Love Pippa Grant stories -one of my FAVORITE authors! This one is another treat! Connor Crais is a great and sexy narrator. Kit Swann ruined it....she should NEVER be allowed to try to do men's voices. Her voice is bad enough, sorry. Will not be buying any books with her as a narrator
