Maggie and Sam are best friends who become lovers. He's been in love with her for 8 years, since the day they met, but both have been through relationships throughout their friendship. Very adorable couple, the story line is predictable, but I really like these 2 together.

This was a quick, heartwarming friends to lovers romance. Maggie and Sam have been best friends since grade school. They are always there for each other, in good times and bad. They now find themselves single at the same time and that their feelings are so much more than friendly. Will they make a move and risk losing their best friend? This is a sweet, sexy and heartwarming romance. I really enjoyed narrators Jeremy York and Eva Erickson. They added so much personality to this story making Maggie and Sam come alive, making this a wonderful sweet and steamy romance!

There's a time for classy and a time for trashy, Ms. Ryan proves she can do both. My opinion is that friends to lovers romance never gets old and The Bed Mate is proof of that. Sweet and sexy come together and create an addictive combo. You can never have enough Kendall Ryan and her saucy take on love.

The Bedmate is a great friends to lovers story. Even though it is a quick story, you get enough of an impression of Maggie and Sam’s relationship. And you are hoping that they will finally realize what’s been in front of them for years.

Maggie has been dating Trevor for years and Sam has had to stand back and watch them. But he can no longer keep his feelings to himself and he doesn’t know how he can tell Maggie. When a trip to go skiing comes up he decides to go and maybe figure out what his next move will be.

Maggie thinks of Sam as her best friend and can’t imagine her life without him. Recently though she has noticed that he has been looking at her differently but she keeps telling herself she is seeing things. When she finds out that Trevor is not who she thought he was, she turns to Sam. He insists that she joins them at the ski resort, and finally she says yes.

While there she begins to take notice to more clues that maybe Sam feels more for her. She also begins to wonder if maybe her future has always been right in front of her but she never thought twice about it.

Will she give Sam a chance? Or will she push away her chance at happiness?

This was such a sweet novella and it really packs a lot of story and development into a small amount of pages. That being said, it was not lacking and the pacing was still perfect. I really enjoyed the characters and friends to lovers is definitely a favorite read of mine.

Kendall never disappoints and this novella was no different. I love her work and can't wait to read more from her.

This deliciously teasing morsel is the perfect addition to a fun, flirty series. Kendall Ryan manages to capture your attention whether its a full novel or not.

The Bed Mate is a quick hit of friends to ...possibilities. It's sweet and packed with plenty of longing.

The Bed Mate by Kendall Ryan is a short novella that takes place in her Roommates series, but it is a standalone story. I love Kendall Ryan's books, and this one was sweet and a great quick read. Maggie and Sam are best friends that have always had something between them, but with Maggie having a boyfriend as well as Sam dating other girls nothing has ever happened between them. Both have never acknowledged that there is anything more than friendship there, but when Maggie finds her boyfriend with someone else, things begin to change for her and Sam.

I really liked these two. The connection and chemistry was there for them the whole way through, and it was clear that they were good together. With a novella being shorter than a novel, I always struggle a bit because it's hard to find a relationship believable in such a short amount of time. Sam and Maggie's relationship was already somewhat established though, and I didn't have any trouble believing that their relationship was genuine. It felt right and these two felt like they belonged together.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. I loved the setting of snow and winter fun, and while it isn't a holiday story it really put me in the mood for all things winter. Kendall Ryan is a great writer and I have enjoyed everything I have read from her, especially this series. If you are a bit short on time or are just looking for a great quick light read, I would recommend giving The Bed Mate a shot. Kendall Ryan is a go to author for me, and I always look forward to getting lost in one of her books. I can't wait to see what she writes next!

I love the roommate series.

The Bed Mate is another friends to lovers kind of book. I enjoyed it because of the MC's, Sam and Maggie. They met in college and became quick friends. Both of them haven't had successful relationships and they never let them interfere with their friendship. So, I was just casually twiddling my thumbs for them to take a chance on one another.

Now of course, one of them has had a crush on the other. Sam, my man, has been in love with Maggie for a while. So when she breaks up with her cheating ex, he buys her a ticket out to Colorado. Where he is vacationing.. so ya know what's going to happen right? RIGHT!

Smut on glorious smut. I loved it! Their chemistry was amazing and I could totally see the whole risking friendship being a huge factor for them not to dive into this. However, I am so happy that they took that giant ass leap. I loved these two and I can't wait to dive into the next book of the roommate series. I don't think I have read them all (yet).
