The Two Week Roommate, an all-new must-read, forced proximity, grumpy-sunshine standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Roxie Noir, is available now!
We used to be best friends. Now we’re snowed in together.
There are probably worse things than being stuck in a remote cabin with the rugged-yet-grumpy forest ranger who saved my life in a blizzard. Getting mauled by a bear, for example, though I might prefer that to eating breakfast with Gideon Bell, the guy who nearly ruined my life when we were kids.
It was twenty years ago. We haven’t spoken since. Our families still hate each other, and our lives are completely different. I’m not sure we’ve got anything in common besides childhood memories.
But when it’s just the two of us for a couple of weeks, none of that really matters.
What matters is the way Gideon grumbles, but makes my tea exactly the way I like it. What matters is how he always gives me the spot on the couch closest to the fireplace. What matters is how he looks at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention.
And those childhood memories? He’s in all my favorites.
Up here, in the cabin, it’s easy to look past all that because it feels so good to kiss him. It’s easy to spend a wild night in front of the fireplace and wake up still wrapped together. But back in the real world, where everything that drove us apart is still alive and kicking? It’s a lot harder.
Can Gideon and I fix what broke twenty years ago, or does what happens in the cabin have to stay in the cabin?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
I was intrigued by the blurb for The Two Week Roommate, and grumpy cinnamon roll hero Gideon and sunshine heroine Andi did not disappoint in this second-chance, forced proximity romance.
This story has a great balance of snark and playful banter between the two characters, sexual tension, and teasing moments as Andi and Gideon rehash their history 20 years later while trapped together during a blizzard. But when the snow melts and they leave the bubble of the cabin, will they be able to make things work in the real world?
Gideon is such a tortured hero. The guy has some serious religious trauma in his past, and he has had some major struggles in coming to terms with his family and who he is as his own person. During parts of this story, I felt that the religious trauma unnecessarily took center stage, but at the same time, that all kind of made Gideon who he is.
Overall, I enjoyed the progression of Andi and Gideon’s relationship. The story kind of ended abruptly with a HFN, in my opinion, but I am intrigued enough to want to read more from this series as I’m sure Gideon’s siblings will eventually get their own books!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
