I’m naturally chaotic, make terrible decisions, and scare off potential dates with my “weirdness”. Since my career took off, I barely have time to breathe, let alone keep my life in order. Room payment to be made in meal planning, repairs, and dumb jokes. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). Five stars for Roommate Arrangement.Must ignore the patheticness of a forty-year-old roommate.

From start to finish, I enjoyed the journey that Payne and Beau were on and can't wait for more from this series. There wasn't any unnecessary drama from anyone in the story, not even Payne's ex, but there was a bite of angst concerning Beau's insecurities and Payne's belief that he couldn't offer much of anything to Beau. Speaking of Marty, bonus points to him for being the supportive brother and best friend that he was. While Beau was best friends with Marty, Payne's younger brother, he and Payne were able to forge their own friendship, even as they were trying to figure out whether or not to pursue something beyond that. I quite liked Beau's quirks and I swooned over Payne's unquestioning acceptance of said quirks. Payne and Beau were wonderful main characters who were unique and easy to love, each one distinct in his own right.

This was an awesome read, what with Saxon James taking a much-loved and often used romance trope-falling for your best friend's sibling-and giving it a spin of her own. Will it change once Payne learns that Beau has had-and still has-feelings for him for years? The thirty-six-year-old bestselling author is a Payne has known Beau since he was a kid, and he's enjoying getting to know this older version of him. Becoming Beau Rickshaw's roommate is a good thing. Leaving his ex behind and returning to his hometown of Kilborough, Massachusetts is the new beginning he needs, but with job prospects looking bleak and staying with his younger brother's family leaving him a wee bit worse for wear, Payne is seriously considering his brother's best friend's offer. The first divorcé-to-be is Payne Walker, a forty-year-old who is shocked to learn what his husband of five years-together for twelve years-has been up to for the past couple of years. Saxon James has a new series, and it's gotten off to such a sweet start! Roommate Arrangement is the first novel in the Divorced Men's Club series, and it introduces readers to a group of guys who are already divorced or in the process of getting a divorce.
