From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martín, who are forced to share a New York apartment. Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block.

User reviews
I listened to this on audio, and let me say that the male narrator has an insanely sexy voice. It matters not what he is saying -- the way he says "Lucas" is ridiculously alluring. I am wondering if he has a Cameo or Only Friends account where I can pay him to talk to me as a drift off to sleep. (kidding-not-kidding) and the female narrator is also quite good. i definitely recommend the audio.
The American Roommate Experiment is the companion to The Spanish Love Deception and follows characters from that book. This romance is fun and cute, but the characters are so friendly and likable that there is never any real conflict, making the story a bit boring. The dating experiment that Rosie and Lucas decide to embark on is enjoyable, but without much in the way of steam or substance. Overall, The American Roommate Experiment is successful at developing the friends to lovers trope but doesn't offer much else for the reader.
He suggests helping her with her writers block by romancing her but things stop being just to get her over her block. The story alternates between the two of them and there's occasional overlap as one reacts to something the other does. It's a fun read with interesting characters the chemistry between the two was great and the way things were resolved is a good compromise between both.
