She’s off limits, but that’s the hottest setup of all.
I want a bit of fun, not a relationship, and I’ve come to New York to find that. When a mix-up forces me to share an apartment with a sexy little American, it sounds like my dream come true. Except Arden Clover Pesti is my almost sister-in-law’s best friend, and she’s a virgin. And slightly insane. I shouldn’t touch her. But when she purrs … she purrs that she loves my British accent and sashays around in her skimpy underwear…
Arden talks about auras and aliens and microwaves frying our brains. Still, she has the sort of body any man would kill to enjoy for fourteen whole days. And I’m starting to realize she might not be as barmy as I thought. Still, I shouldn’t get naked with her. It would be wrong.
When she begs me to be her first time, I forget all the reasons we shouldn’t do this. After all, I’m the Dixon brother who does the wrong thing the right way.
One Hot Roomie is the second book in the Hot Brits series from Anna Durand, author of the bestselling Hot Scots series.

Listened to on audio, and loved hearing the characters come to life, especially with a British accent. Sexy, steamy, fun series!
One Hot Roomie is #2 in the Hot Brits series.
I loved, loved, LOVED this story about Reese and Arden. They are more than perfect for each other! Reese is Chance’s brother (Hot Brit #1) and Arden is Elena’s bff. I laughed so hard at some scenes (it’s packed with laugh out loud moments!) and had a huge grin on my face while reading this book. It is so funny!! Talk about a feel good story: this definitely is it!
ONE HOT ROOMIE is the second book in the Hot Brits series. Though it stands completely on it’s own, I’m convinced anyone who reads the book will have wanted to read the first book as well. Besides their both wonderful.
Though I loved the meet cute and dates that Arden and Chase had in this story – in other words it was a wonderful romance – there was substance missing from their backgrounds. This could have been solved had I got to know them before they met each other or if I got to know each of their backgrounds as they talked to one another during their dates.
On the other hand, I was not disappointed in the romance or the comedy. It is full of the laugh-out-loud moments and scorching hot chemistry that I expect from Anna Durand.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC from the author, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Arden and Reese are perfect for each other!
Arden, a quirky American heiress, and Reese, a British playboy, find themselves sharing an apartment in New York for two weeks. She’s just come back from serving in the Peace Corps and has finally made the decision to shed her virginity, while Reese is in the USA for his brother’s wedding and has strict orders to keep his hands off his sister-in-law-to-be’s best friend.
At first Arden comes across as TSTL, but then we learn she wears her crazy as a jerk-repellent, especially around callous playboys like Reese. Reese prides himself on being “the Dixon brother who does the wrong thing the right way” until he realizes that with Arden, it’s not enough and for the first time he wants more than just a good shag.
The insta-lust was no surprise given the setup, and there were several instances where either the characters or the writer is simply trying too hard. Are Americans and Britons really that easily confused by the differences in each other’s vocabulary?
Still, the romance is easy, the passion is white-hot, and the bonus of getting to attend Chance and Elena’s wedding was well worth the shortfalls. This isn’t the author’s best work, but if you’re reading this series you won’t want to miss this one. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
