Blurb
Mac
I’m the kind of guy you can always count on. When my best friend and former roommate—who up and ditched me in favor of his fiancé—needs a favor, I don’t hesitate to help any way I can. This most recent favor landed me with a moody Irish university student for a roommate. With his long copper-red hair and blue eyes, he’s too damn cute for his own good—which is saying a lot considering I’m straight.
Thing is, he kinda hates me. Crazy, right? I shouldn’t care as much as I do, and I definitely shouldn’t let it bother me. Alas, here I am, caring and letting it bother me. I want him to like me, although I’m not quite sure why.

Insufferable. My new flatmate is insufferable. Between his loud, cheesy music, stupid assumptions, and flippant attitude, he annoys me. He also has this ridiculous aversion to wearing clothes around the flat, which wouldn’t be so bad if he weren’t so bloody attractive. It’s hard to remember to hate him when his perfect arse is within view.
Going after straight guys is nothing but trouble, and I’m smart enough to avoid that. Besides, I’d rather not mess up another living arrangement, and sex always makes things complicated—not that I’m thinking about sex.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Killer Queen is an amazing roommates to lovers romance by Serene Franklin.
Mac meets Dove when the two become new roommates. From the start, I love these two. Mac's penchant for never wearing clothes, and Dove's immediate snark, get the book off to an amazing start.
Mac's always considered himself straight, but he's confused and startled when he finds himself thinking of kissing Dove. Once the lines do blur, let the real fun begin. There are many sex scenes, some first times for Mac, and more.
This is a story of awkward moments, sexual awakening, and sexual discovery. It's full of doubts, fears, jealousy, and stupidity. There's also tenderness underneath their sassy facades. With just the right amount of angst, which happens to be so well written, I was left gutted at times.
And, omg, the humor. There's some hysterical banter and remarks. I know I was thrilled to not be drinking anything during one of them. It would definitely have ended up with a spit take.
Overall, I highly recommend Killer Queen. Serene Franklin had me riveted throughout this sweet story of two men who struggle to confess their true feelings. The strength of their love is beautiful and it's adorable the way it just sneaks up on them. I love it all, the writing, the storyline, the characters, and more.
