SUNSHINE SEEKS ROOMMATE by Kat Savage
Blurb:
Waylon Dupree loves love. He just doesn’t want to be in it right now or anytime soon. But in ten years or so, he’s looking forward to landing a badass wife, worshipping her, and poppin’ out a couple of little Duprees.
For now, he just needs a roommate—someone dependable, who won’t be moving out in a few months because they fell in love like the last two did.
Lyric Sweeney loves dead people. Which is convenient, considering she’s a mortician. Spending her day making the recently departed look alive again has also resulted in her having more conversations with them than people who are still on this plane of existence.
So when her best friend suggests she get a new roommate, her reasons why come with undeniable receipts. But does it have to be Waylon? Does it have to be that sort of almost hookup from a year ago who also happens to be her best friend’s new man’s best friend?
To appease the worried parties, she agrees to see his place. It would have been hard to say no to the chef’s kitchen but she would have done it. But when he shows her what will be her own bathroom and tells her she can fill the sunroom with all her plants? Well, every girl has their price.
One awkward conversation later, they’ve put the past behind them and shake hands on starting fresh. There’s just one rule: No hanky panky. Neither of them were very good at following rules though. And forbidden fruit is the sweetest kind. Besides, nothing can go wrong hooking up with your roommate, right?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Sunshine Seeks Roommate is a short and sweet second-chance, reverse grumpy-sunshine roommates story between black cat mortician Lyric and golden retriever tattoo artist Waylon.
Lyric is Darcy’s former roommate from The Single Dad Dilemma. Now that Darcy is happily paired off with Ridge, she suggests that Lyric move into Waylon’s house after his latest roommate moves out. The only problem is that Lyric and Waylon shared a kiss and an amazing night of conversation about a year ago. The first thing Lyric does when she moves in is declare that there is to be no hanky-panky, which suits Waylon just fine because although he loves the idea of love, he doesn’t want a relationship… but that devolves into a roommates-with-benefits situationship before too long.
This story is fun and chaotic. Lyric is full of sass and the complete opposite of Waylon. The tension between these two was sizzling, but there was also a deep connection between them since they had both lost their mother, and that colors how they both approach relationships. I really enjoyed the everyday moments between these two characters, like shared dinners and hanging out in the sunroom, and how that bonded them. There’s a great group of supporting characters with the other misfits, so this book has great found-family vibes. And the banter between the friends was just as hilarious as the banter between Lyric and Waylon!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Kat Savage:
Kat Savage resides in Louisville, Kentucky with her three beautiful children, her hunky spouse, and two spoiled dogs. She secretly has hopes of getting chickens one day.
By day, she’s an office manager, pushing paperwork and dreaming. When she’s not at her nine-to-five, she’s writing. Or thinking about writing. Or preparing books and book stuff to procrastinate writing. Or quite possibly, designing stuff for other people’s books.
She was driven to write out of a need for distraction and self-preservation after the death of her sister in 2013. Since then, it’s snowballed into a full blown passion she can’t escape. Even on the toughest days, she wouldn’t want to.
She writes poetry packed with real, raw, and sometimes ugly truths. She won’t lie. Her goal is to make you ache, in that perfect delicious way we often secretly crave.
Shortly after putting her poetry and prose out into the world, she turned to novel writing. Savage is a natural storyteller, getting better with each book. She tries to give the characters in her novels depth, whether they’re serious or comical, she builds them in layers with the hope that you see a little of yourself in some of them.
