| Frat Brats of Santa Barbara Book 2 |
My crown never weighed as heavy as when I had to leave the guy I love.
Mateo
My life is nothing like a fairytale. Weighed down by duty and constantly watched, I hope to find a little freedom at Highgate.
Nobody knows who I really am; the Andalonian Heir Apparent. Not even the embarrassingly handsome Joshua Sterling.
He makes living seem easy. He makes falling in love effortless. He makes me believe in fairytales.
But the price of falling in love with an American boy is steep. The duty I’ve carried my entire life — the duty that had kept me away from taking a risk and living my best — reminds me that we’re nothing but a passing fancy.
With every lie I speak, I bury myself deeper. Whenever I miss a chance to tell him who I am, I lose him a little more. And when I love him the most, a disaster strikes. My lies catch up with me and I risk losing more than just my crown. I risk losing the best guy I’ve ever met.
A prince should not need a knight in shining armor. But this prince wants nothing else.
Joshua
Trailed by his bodyguards and deliciously strange, Mateo Garcia is like nobody I’ve ever crossed paths with. My reputation isn’t exaggerated. I’ve crossed paths with plenty of hot guys. Not a single one of them looked past what I was ready to show. Not like Mateo.
His enigmatic presence tempts me to share my deepest fears and sweetest secrets. His innocence makes me want to be more than just a one-time fling.
Here’s a guy who could love me, I think. Here’s a guy I could love back just the same.
But when he touches my wildest desires and when the promise of a little happiness is too sweet to resist, I discover that he’s nothing like what he said. He is a prince suffocated by tradition and expectations. And what does that make me? A rebellious experiment and a college flame.
Mateo taught me how to fall in love. Then, he taught me how badly a heartbreak hurts.
Maybe I’m better off living the way I used to. Maybe a pretty face and a hot body is all I’m worth. But his departure rips a hole in my chest that no amount of hookups could fill.
The Royal Roommate Disaster is the second book in Frat Brats of Santa Barbara series. It features one bad-boy-turned-nice, one sweet, secret prince who wants to break free, all the steam you can handle, heart-melting sweetness, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It can be read on its own, but it's just more fun to read it after The Fake Boyfriends Debacle.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
All Mateo wants is a little freedom. And his chance to attend Highgate Academy for a semester is the closest he will ever get to it. Being prince of a country is one thing, but to be one who loves men? He isn’t sure the people will love him then. So he will enjoy this semester. He will get a small taste of what it could be like if he was not royal. But he never expects to fall so head over heels in love with his roommate Joshua. And every time he has to lie about who he truly is, it becomes harder and harder to tell him the truth. Joshua is tired of picking the wrong guys. He just wants to find someone who will love him as he is. And then he meets Mateo. Who sees him and wants to be with him anyway. Who is genuine and kind. But when secrets are revealed and the lies brought to light it will take a bit to fix the heartbreak that follows. These two were a sweet couple! They balanced one another out quite well as they fall in love for the first time.
