But He’s My Roommate by Annah Conwell is my favorite story in the But He’s a Carter Brother series. I have genuinely loved and enjoyed each story in this series, but I connected with But He’s My Roommate the most. Conwell’s characters in this story are truly heartfelt, endearing, and realistic, and they wheedled their way into my reader’s heart BIG time. I love Evie and fully understand her drive to isolate herself and her child from the mean ol’ world. I totally get why she wants to build ironclad walls around her poor, battered, broken heart. If I were in her place, I would do the exact same thing. Evie is strong, though, and she won’t stay down long. She just needs to regroup. Her newborn son, Beckham, needs her to be strong, and that is what she will be. At this point, Maverick bursts onto the scene and breathes new life back into Evie. She fights it hard, but Maverick is one of the most patient, kind, marshmallow-y heroes ever. He is the best! I love how immediately protective he is of Evie and Beckham. He is so cute with Beckham. I also really like how he gives Evie a sense of actual power by training her in boxing. Yes, it’s a way for Maverick and Evie to grow closer as a couple, and it does allow for some fun, flirty moments, but it mostly empowers Evie to feel more in control both mentally and physically. I loved it! This is one of those stories where I was cheering for the hero and heroine the entire time. I’m leaving this story, and this series, smiling big time.

But He’s My Roommate is a wonderful conclusion to what has been a superb Contemporary Romance series. If you’re a fan of highly engaging, totally endearing, joy-filled stories that will make your reader heart happy, then you’ve got to read any and all of the books in the But He’s a Carter Brother series. You won’t be disappointed you did!
