What if love can’t heal all wounds?

After too many years of secretly loving her roommate and best friend, Zoey decide it’s time to take action. This New Year’s Eve she’s going to tell Rob the truth about her feelings for him. Her plan is derailed when she discovers a lump in her breast—and it’s not “nothing to worry about”. How can she ask Rob to take a chance on love when her future is so uncertain?

Rob has spent his entire life chasing his dream, but the moment he hears Zoey’s upset voice on the phone, he realizes he’s been running the wrong race. Without a second thought, he books a flight for home, determined to give her everything she needs. A shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold…and nights of intensely emotional, passionate sex.

His biggest challenge, though, is convincing his best friend that he’s in it for the long haul. Because he finally knows what he wants, and it’s not fame and fortune. It’s her.

Once again Mari Carr has given us an emotionally charged piece of beauty! ~ KC Lu – Simply Love Books

 

****This review was previously published December 11, 2012****

I’m a huge Mari Carr fan. Falling Hard For Her Roommate is the start of a series that is going to be amazing if they are all as good as this one. Once again Mari has given us an emotionally charged piece of beauty!

Zoey has a great life, but something is missing. Every Thursday she gets together with her girlfriends that live in the same block as her for wine and lots of chit chat. The book opens on them together for New Years Eve, and has each of them making a vow to give certain things a second chance. Zoey keeps hers to her self she is going to finally tell her best friend and roommate Robbie that she has been in love with him for years. He just has to come home with his band from touring first, but before that can happen the rug gets pulled out from under her. How can she tell him she loves him when she has to fight literally for her life?

Rob is living what he thought was his dream come true, but in reality the road really sucks. So when he gets a weird phone call from Zoey, he rushes home to see what is really wrong with her, and tell her that he loves her and has for years. When he gets home Zoey gives him her news, but instead of running for the hills he stands right by her.

Oh wow!! I don’t know if I can begin to do this book justice. It is truly an emotional roller coaster!! I cried from the beginning to the end!! Rob is beyond great!! I love that he stands by Zoey through it all even when she tries to push him away. I absolutely love that he shaves his head with her. Cancer is one of those things that has touched all of our lives be it someone in our families or really close friends, and Mari captured the battle so well. I can’t recommend this one enough, and I am waiting on pins and needles for book two!!!

 

A Note from the author:

Many, many moons ago, I released a series called Second Chances. Six books in which I attempted to write happily ever afters for girlfriends who were going through some rough real life stuff. The series–to this day–remains one of my favorites because I think there are so many things within the stories that women can relate to – breast cancer, divorce, the struggle to lose weight, loneliness, raising kids alone, the dating game.
Because these books were released quite a few years ago, I felt like they were long overdue for an overhaul, as the covers (and even the titles) felt a bit dated.
Please understand that only the titles and covers have changed. The stories are still the same, so if you’ve read the Second Chances series, you have read these books. Falling Hard For Her Roommate was previously titled Fix You.
