About the Book: Truth is more dangerous than fiction…in this exhilarating upper YA fantasy that will capture fans of Shadow and Bone and Dark Water Daughter In ancient times, the Elder Wrights breathed their magic into the fabric of the seven seas. Now what was once an ocean of plenty is slowly becoming a sea of death, and the Talin—a race of hidden mages—are beginning to starve. And for the first time ever, one of their own has no magic. Ostracized by her own people, Nieve is certain that the old stories hide a missing piece of the puzzle. It’s just a matter of unlocking the secret. But when a stranger comes sailing into their harbor, Nieve’s world is suddenly blown wide open. Now she’s sailing on the seven seas—with a too-charming, swashbuckling pirate, a group of strange misfits, and a woman who claims to be one of the Elder Wrights.

Synopsis
To Moira “Mo” Rossi, the world is full of sunshine, goodness, and happily ever afters—so of course she figures finding the perfect roomie will be easy. But after four creepos who ask if benefits come with the room and one woman who claims she’s a vampire, Mo is officially desperate. So what if the guy she agrees to on paper ends up being the Derrick Downer to her Sally Sunshine in person? She’s the queen of making lemonade.
August Porter expected his new roommate Mo to be like him—neat, practical, and oh yeah: male. Not the outrageous hippie with more stars in her eyes than there are in the sky. She’s infuriating, exasperating, his exact opposite in every possible way...and the bright ray of sunshine he didn’t even realize his gray world was missing. Suddenly, falling into bed with his roommate isn’t the worst idea he’s ever heard. Just falling in love with her is.
But one of them is keeping a secret that could turn their opposite attraction into utter disaster.
Review
It's a sweet, romantic opposite-attracts kind of story that will warm your heart and put a smile to your face. I loved it!
Mo is a happy-go-lucky type of person. She is quick to smile and she has a way to make people instantly like her. However, August is one person whose walls she can't break. He is grumpy and keeps to himself. More than that, he is annoyed with his grandmother who tricked him and also, keeps refusing to sell her flower shop and retire, which he strongly believes that she should do. Now, Mo finds herself between the two. Keeping secrets when she knows fully well that truth always comes out one way or the other. Will she end up hurting the two of the most important people in her life or is she the one who is going to end up being hurt? One thing is for sure though, she is feeling things she has never felt before and she is willing to fight for them.
It's a really well-written romantic comedy. The kind that makes you laugh out loud. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to all romance fans. Definitely worth the read!
