***4.5 ‘You’re Feeling This’ Stars*** I’m not sure what it was about this book, but I was hooked from the first page and before I knew it (aka my lunch hour at work was done) I was 56% in and not all that happy that I had to stop reading. I really liked Mason and Bren, even when they caused my eyes to roll, and I loved the various, and sometimes surprising, twists and turns in their journey towards their inevitable HEA. I really liked Mason and Bren. They’ve both got kind hearts, quick wits and yet show time and time again that they are as human as can be with how they view the world and what they want out of it. They both have careers they really like/love, they may not have everything they want in life, but what they do have they are content with. Where they differ is when it comes to matters of the heart. One is looking for a Soul Mate, while the other is doing everything to stay far, far away from anything to do with love. Their very opposite stances on the “Soul Mate” issue made for an interesting journey for both of them as they figured out what to do about the impending bun in the oven and I really liked the path the author took them on. It was realistic yet had that touch of romantic fantasy we’d all want if we were faced with this situation. The push/pull had me growling at times and wanting to shake some sense into both of them, but through that bit of angsty-ness Mason and Bren got to know each other and found that they had a lot more going for them than they believed and balanced each other out. The Soul Mate was a fun, quick read that I had a very hard time putting down. Mason and Bren were both well written characters, but the secondary characters really made this a fun read and I’d love to see more of Trent and Mandy in the future. ~ Copy provided by the author/InkSlinger PR & voluntarily reviewed ~

Witty, fun, sweet, sexy and emotionally gripping romantic adventure that had me laughing and pulled a the heart strings. Great entertainment for a sunny afternoon reading. Mason is a seaming hot, sexy, intelligent and charming alpha male who believes in happy ever after and wants to find his Soul Mate. Bren is a sweet, sexy, sassy and emotionally closed off woman with a comment phobia like you would not believe. She goes out looking for a good time and finds Mason. (oh ya and oops we might have a baby) Loved the twists that took me by surprise.

No one does romance quite like Kendall Ryan! The Soul Mate is a sexy and sweet read, that will melt your heart. You're introduced to two truly uncommon characters. The flip-flop of personalities was a joy to read. Usually you'll read books where the man has a problem with commitment. But in The Soul Mate, you get the complete opposite. Although the romantic aspect of this book was top-notch, the comedic level doesn't quite live up to the capacity as the previous books in the Roommates series, in my opinion. I guess the chances of finding humor is a largely awkward and uncomfortable situation can be challenging. Because really, how funny would you find it if you thought you were pregnant and the OB-GYN was the very man who potentially knocked you up? See...not so funny when the shoe is on the other foot. Overall, I really liked this book. It's pretty impossible to not enjoy a book written by Kendall Ryan. The writing was well executed, and the dynamic between the characters was unique and very endearing. A love story with all the feels, The Soul Mate will leave you wanting more!
