Title: I Wanna Text You Up

Author: Teagan Hunter

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: February 1, 2018

When I put up a ROOMMATE WANTED poster, he was the last person on earth I thought would respond.

He was also the last person on earth I’d agree to let live with me…on purpose.

But, here we are—roommates. I’m certain we can coexist without it being awkward, and I’m determined to make it work. There will be no sexual tension building with each accidental touch, no flutters when he wears that stupid backward baseball cap, and definitely no flirting when we text back and forth.

Caleb Mills can’t be the guy for me. He’s my best friend’s ex-boyfriend.

And that would be wrong…right?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Roommate romance is one of my favorite tropes, and I Wanna Text You Up adds in the “best friend’s ex” trope to make it a slightly forbidden romance. When Delia moves in with her boyfriend, Zoe is left alone in their apartment and searches for a new roommate. She doesn’t NEED one, but rather simply wants one so she won’t be alone and bored. Enter Caleb, who just so happens to be Delia’s ex-boyfriend. Zoe’s email exchanges with this potential male roommate are laugh-out-loud, and the moment when Zoe and Caleb realize that they’ve actually been emailing with each other sets the stage for what starts out to be an awkward cohabitation.

I loved how even though Zoe and Caleb are clearly attracted to one another, there is a lot of build-up to them crossing the line. Their relationship really grows through their flirty text messages and playful banter. Everything about their relationship seems easy and natural — except for the secret Caleb is keeping about where he disappears to every Sunday.

This story is a follow-up to Delia’s story, Let’s Get Textual, which is where Zoe and Caleb are first introduced. Having not read LGT, I can say that Text You Up is a true standalone — there are some references to events that I gather happened in the previous book, but I did not feel like I was missing chunks of the story as a result.

Overall, this was a light, playful, fun, sexy read. While it definitely ranks high on the romance and innuendo, it is not very smutty. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

By day I’m a freelance cover designer. By every other free moment, a writer. I’m a Missouri raised gal, but I currently live in North Carolina with my US Marine husband where I spend my days begging him for a cat. I survive off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When I’m not writing, you can find me binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. I like cold weather, buy more paperbacks than I’ll ever read, and I never say no to brownies.
