The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas
The issue is with Rosie Graham. A few, in fact. She recently left her well-paying profession to concentrate on her covert writing career. She has awful writer’s block right now because she hasn’t notified her family. Then she is physically crushed under the ceiling of her New York apartment. She is fortunate to have Lina’s spare key while she is out of town. Rosie, for lack of a better term, has been following Lucas on Instagram for the past few months, but she is unaware that Lina has already loaned Lucas her apartment. Lucas appears determined to save her as a Spanish hero in shining armour. Only this one wanders around in a towel, smiles distractingly, and has an alluring accent. And he cooks, too.
In order to help Rosie find some reasonably priced temporary lodging, Lucas offers to let her stay with him. Then he suggests an absurd experiment to revive her creative inspiration and make her deadline: He’ll go on a series of test dates with her to spark her amorous inspiration. Rosie is unaffected by losing. Although she has complete control over her ridiculous online crush, Lucas’s time in New York is limited, and six weeks might not be enough for either her or her deadline.

The protagonist of the novel is Rosie, who temporarily relocates to her best friend’s flat when hers is damaged. She should have informed her buddy that she was coming, but she didn’t, and it turned out that Lina’s hot Spanish cousin, who is currently visiting the United States, had already been offered the studio apartment. Rosie and Lucas, who are both wonderful, laid-back people, decide to share the apartment while Rosie is getting fixed, which is how Rosie ends herself sharing a space with the man she’s been covertly watching online for months. Rosie has a crush on Lucas, but spending time with him doesn’t make it go away, and neither does going on (mainly platonic) dates to generate writing ideas. However, it does add a little tension to the living situation, especially as Rosie discovers that Lucas might not be totally resistant to her charms after all.
