Running Mate #3
Room Mate
From the time I was a kid, I knew I wanted a job helping people. After serving in the Rifles regiment of the British Army, I focused my civilian career on becoming a bodyguard to the rich and famous. For a Cockney Brit, I never imagined a twist of fate landing me a position in the United States Secret Service and protecting the President’s son. But then my boss made an unexpected request: leave my current placement to move in with his only daughter to give an added layer of protection against the threats she had been receiving. I’d never lived with a woman who was off-limits to me. It wasn’t just that Caroline had a boyfriend. She was my best friend’s sister, and my boss’s daughter. But the longer we’re in such close quarters together, the greater the temptation grows, but I know I'll lose everything if I pursue her.
Growing up as the only girl with two overbearing older brothers, I’m no stranger to being overprotected. Just as I finished up college and prepared to truly dip my toes into the adult world, my father was elected President of the United States, which added a whole new level of protection with the Secret Service team attached to me. Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly be more smothered, I began receiving threats, and my family decided it wasn’t enough to just have an agent living down the hall from me. Nope, I was to have one move in with me, and not just any agent, but Ty Frasier—my brother, Barrett’s best friend, and my brother, Ty’s, head agent. While most women would enjoy living with a sexy, buff Brit, having a roommate threw a wrench into all my plans. Especially when I began noticing Ty was so much more than a hot guy—he was someone I could fall for.
**Stand-alone set in the world of Running Mate and Office Mate**

This was definitely the best book in the series in my opinion. I was on the fence with continuing the series after Office Mate which I was conflicted on but I am glad I powered through to finish the series.
Ty has been a predominant side character in the previous two books initially as a bodyguard and then a secret service agent. It was about time we got to know this illustrious British agent. Ty is honorable, loyal and attentive to the people in his life and his job (which in this case is protecting Caroline). I do wish the author explored more of Ty's fun side that we saw glimpses of in the previous books like reading Cosmo and chick lit but I guess he was protecting Caroline 24/7 so no time...🤔
I appreciate how resilient Caroline is given the gravity of everything she was dealing with. Between moving to a different state and taking over her mother's foundation, being the first daughter to having a psycho stalker obsessed with you, she has a lot going on. I do feel her character was a bit one dimensional but I guess there isn't that much room for character development given the entire premise of the book is Ty protecting her.
Selfishly I wanted Ty and Caroline to get together sooner so we can see their relationship develop but I have noticed that's just how Katie's books are with the slow burn.
Overall I am glad I finished this series. I felt this book tied everything together nicely and gets us a glimpse of the prior characters plus Conan 🐶 was mentioned so that was a plus for me.

I need a room mate like Ty.
I enjoyed this book. I m was dying for more of the Callahan's and Ty. Ty has been part of the secret service and security team for the Callahan's for years. He has been with Barrett Thorn and Caroline. With the threat being bad against Caroline Ty was the best guy for the job and President knew he could trust his only daughter with him. He just didn't thing that putting them together would end up then getting together. It wasn't a easy ride for them both with Caroline's stalker causing trouble there wasnt time for them for romance. She was he number one priority her safety had to come first. Even when the sexual tension was red hot they both kept it together. Even with Ty goin around shirtless showing of his hot body it was very difficult but they needed to be professional.
I would recommend this book the story was really good and both main characters are really good. I do wish that the characters got together a bit sooner. I felt that i didn't get much of them together. It felt like they got together and then it was over. So I would of luvd more but I am greedy. They were just so suited. But overall I enjoyed it and getting more of them Callahan men make it even better. It's a great series every book was been great.

"He was like James Bond on steroids in his tux. I was used to the suit porn he sported on a daily basis, but man, there was something about the fit of the black tux that made me all warm and tingly."
When Caroline started complaining about having Ty as a roommate it crossed my mind to suggest a psych evaluation. I mean seriously, who would refuse 24/7 eye candy, right? But, I have to give her credit, she's not stuck up and bossy like you'd think a first daughter would be, she's got a big heart and she's not blind. She did eventually come to her senses and learn to appreciate the gift she had been given.
I really enjoyed the banter between Caroline and Ty. While they both had a job to do, they were considerate of each other's feelings. It was very entertaining to see how far she could push him. He was badass in every way except how he treated her. The fact that he was a Brit made it quite amusing when it came to slang and American things that seemed strange to him. He considered her boyfriend a 'wanker' and calling the Piggly Wiggly grocery store the 'Psychotic Pig' cracked me up.
I loved the excitement of the forbidden aspect of this story. I wanted them to hook up, but at the same time, I was afraid for them to do so. The chemistry between them was undeniable, but they denied it as long as possible. I wanted to throw a lit match at them just to speed it up. I had no doubt the BOOM was coming, but I was impatient for it to happen NOW!
And then, to amp up the excitement, there is a threat against her that has him determined to keep her safe. While he's questioning his ability to keep her safe from himself the real danger escalates. And let's not forget that her father, the President, and her two brothers could be a threat to his own personal safety if they found out he was lusting after her.

“I was about to inherit a roommate. A male roommate. A six foot-four, built like a brick shithouse, swoony British accent speaking, Chris Hemsworth-looking male roommate.”
Caroline is the daughter of the current President of The United States. She has been getting threats (unbeknownst to her) and is in dire need of more protection. That’s were Ty comes in. He is a secret service agent and friends with her brothers. Her father gives Ty the job to protect his inky daughter but he needs him not to just be her bodyguard but to be her roommate as well. At first he is reluctant but he gives in because that’s just the type of guy he is. He would do anything to protect the Callahan family. They settle into this new situation but the threat of the unknown is always a shadow behind them. Living in close proximity with each other also creates longing for them. They have this invisible boundary line that they cannot cross because a relationship between them is forbidden but they eventually take the plunge when they realize that they have genuine feelings for each other.
I loved the slow burn aspect of this book. The jealousy and sexual tension between Caroline and Ty was delicious and oh so lovely. Ty was the perfect gentleman and would never hurt her. He was incredibly sweet which made me love this book even more.
“Who would have thought taking the job as Caroline’s temporary roommate would have resulted in a roommate for life?”

This is the third installment in a series. This was a really enjoyable book. I really like friends to lovers stories, and this was a good one. Ty is so salt of the earth good, and Caroline is the perfect woman for him. I really enjoyed their bantering. I really liked Caroline, too. She has a great family, and she knows her own mind. It was really fun seeing them fall for each other. I really enjoyed reading this book.

I loved this book. The romance was slow building, but there was a lot of steam leading up to it. It is part of a series. I would suggest reading the others, but you sure can jump right into this one if you wish. I just loved Ty's character. Caroline's character was perfect for her role of the President's daughter. The book just flowed. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.

Caroline Callahan is preparing to start a new career, but the carefully laid plans she has are derailed when a threat causes her to need an increased Secret Service detail. But even with a threat out there, she isn’t the type to hide away. She is determined to continue on with her new job as planned, if with a different roommate than originally planned.
Ty Fraser has been working with the Callahan family for years, becoming friends with both of the President’s sons over the years. When the only Callahan daughter needs increased protection, Ty is the family’s first choice to step up and not participate as part of her protection team, but to provide on site protection as her roommate.
Caroline is such a strong character. She knows what she wants and doesn’t want her life to change even with an unknown threat out there. She doesn’t want to be sheltered, and wants to know what is going on around her.
I loved the chemistry between these two. With a slow build up as they became accustomed to living together, the friendship that build first was a safe place for Caroline in spite of all the changes going on in her life.
This was a fun, sexy read with just a bit of suspense wrapped up in it. Ty and Caroline have a double edged challenge of each doing the jobs they love while dealing with unexpected challenges and a new roommate situation. It was fun seeing the rest of the Callahan family again, checking in on life again in the White House.

Now, the princess/president's daughter etc falling for their security man is not a new story - however it is one that I will always pick up and read.
I have been waiting for Caroline's story since I started reading this series. I knew, that with 2 protective brothers and the president for her father that she was going to have her struggles.
I love love love that she (nor her brothers) are spoiled little rich kids, riding on their father's coat tails.
I adore that she has her own life and career, and despite her family, she speaks her mind and lets them all know what she is thinking.
And hellooooooo sexy secret service man! Ty is sweet and wonderful and oh. so. sexy. I mean, you can't blame a girl for falling for him, as I did right along with Caroline.
There is sexual tension up the wazoo with our lovelies *fans self* along with plenty of witty banter and just all together wonderfulness. This pair are definitely my favourite couple in this series.
I loved getting to see where Barrett and Thorn and their ladies are at, and the guys over protectiveness of Caroline is both sweet and terrifying lol. I want them to be my brothers.
I really have enjoyed the Running Mates series, and I am looking forward to what Ms Ashley brings us next.

Caroline Callahan was just about ready to start her new career and new life in a new place. She had it all planned out...until her plans were changed due to circumstances out of her control.
Ty Fraser has been friend and bodyguard to both of her older brothers, Barrett and Thorn. He is honorable, dependable, and vigilant. And now he is being asked to take on Caroline's security due to a threat. That means not only following her to Virginia, but they want him to have full access...as in living with her.
The stubborn spitfire Caroline is not happy and she does not think her boyfriend will be either. Ty is not that pleased himself. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do...and Ty will do just about anything for the Callahans.
But being roomies takes some adjustment, and dealing with the threat is more challenging than they hoped. Close quarters, sexual tension, escalating emotions, and fear add to the confusion and conflict. They both know they should be off limits due to circumstances. He tries to be the stoic Secret Service Agent, but his body seems to want to overrule his mind. And Caroline's life is going through both positive and negative changes at the same time and she is just trying to keep it all together while keeping her hands off her sexy bodyguard.
But eventually all of the tension, sexual and otherwise, is going to come to a boil and possibly explode. What will be the fall out as they navigate the changes and the danger still lurking around Caroline?
This is a sexy, fun, and swoony best-friend's-sister/room mates/forbidden love story. Even though this works fine as a stand-alone, I enjoyed getting more with the other Callahans: Barrett, Addison, Thorn, and Isabel and the Presidential parents. I really liked both Ty and Caroline, and I thought they were perfect together despite their challenges. Ty was so strong, capable, heroic, hot, and swoonworthy. I loved seeing him start to come out of his strong facade and show more vulnerability and familiarity. And Caroline was sassy, smart, and real. I enjoyed their banter and chemistry. They were magic together!

Caroline & Ty ….Secret Service Agent , Daughter of the President , Room Mates ! Let me get cozy and dive into this one !
I literally enjoyed every part of this book. The friendship, comradery, loyalty, buildup and steam! What happens when you think that knew what you wanted in life and thought that you had it?
Caroline is a smart, sassy, independent woman that has just taken over her mother's charities and became an children's author. She also happens to be the President's daughter and has now had her independence taken away by a stalker. SO Ty is being assigned to her and oh my is he easy on the eyes but lets keep this professional now!
Ty has serviced the Presidential family in one capacity or another. He has become the friend , confidant and protected the sons for years. Finding out that he is being temporarily reassigned to guard Caroline. Always the professional but this could get complicated !!!
Loved it!!

Slow Burn your little heart out with Caroline and Ty in this newest installment to this series that just frankly keeps getting better. Caroline could be your run of the mill Trust fund baby with not much on her mind other than shopping and landing her MRS’ ASAP, but this first daughter has loftier aspirations. She really is looking forward to working at the Literat Non-Profit her mother started, starting a new and exciting life in Charlestown and spreading her wings a little. However the realities of being so in the public eye bring her dreams to crashing halt when apparently some deranged psycho has made her his Jodie Foster. Now she is going to have a new body on her guard and hers basically going to be a second shadow for her. Ty while a lovely chap isn’t what she had pictured in a new flatmate and bosom buddy, but it appears she had little choice. Ty isn’t anything but grateful and appreciative of the Callaghan’s and would do anything to protect anyone of them, but he never imagined his newest assignment after Thorn would be guarding Ms. Caroline. She is headstrong, brave, true, and bugger it all lovely, delightful, and just the sort of damsel he has a penchant for falling for. With chemistry brewing and an unknown threat a foot this book will keep you flip flop flipping till the very end.

Room Mate is a standalone novel by Katie Ashley. I have been a reader of her books since I started my blog almost six year ago. All of her novels have a different feel to them which I enjoy. It's like a new piece of Katie each time she publishes.
In the Room Mate we have two characters, Ty and Caroline. Ty is a Secret Service agent sworn to protect the President and his family. Caroline happens to be the President's daughter. There's a serious threat against her and Ty is the best agent to protect her.
In order to protect her to the fullest Ty must move in with Caroline in her new apartment. This is where it becomes interesting. You learn the quirks of the other people you live with. What could possibly be a turn off is more like a turn on for these two.
I enjoyed reading their love story. These two tried to stay as professional as possible...until they couldn't. Caroline and Ty have a lot to answer for but you'll be rooting for them as a couple, for sure.

A romance between a bodyguard and his Boss’s daughter in the kind of forbidden romance I absolutely love. The book reminded me of a television series called ‘The Royals’, also based in England.
Caroline- an impulsive girl, who is trying really hard to adjust her life between her President’s daughter and a creepy stalker who means her harm. Enter Ty- an agent with the United States Secret Service, also known as Caroline’s personal bodyguard and roommate.
Their journey starts with friendly banters and progresses to sometimes serious and intense. I love how very little time was wasted describing their physical appearance, and a lot of importance was given to the instant connection, and attraction between them. The writing sounds a bit repetitive at places, but that can be ignored.
The story is intense and ‘steamy hot’ right from the start and I spent reading most of it curled up in a blanket with hot cocoa and popcorn. Totally recommend it to forbidden romance lovers.

Their journey starts with friendly banters and progresses to sometimes serious and intense. I love how very little time was wasted describing their physical appearance, and a lot of importance was given to the instant connection, and attraction between them. The writing sounds a bit repetitive at places, but that can be ignored.

This was so good and the first book I have read by this author but definitely not the last! Caroline Callahan is the first daughter and setting off on a new career but she has a serious security threat and so her father, The President, has assigned Ty Fraser as her lead security member and her new room mate. Ty has protected both of her brothers and is considered practically a member of the family by all but this information does not go over too good with Caroline. Let me say, it was refreshing how down to earth Caroline and all the Callahan family was. There was nothing stuffy about them and watching Caroline and Ty circle and figure out how to live together was funny and touching and adding in the element of suspense with the stalker kept this story moving right along. I may have to go back and read Thorn and Barrett's books now!

We have met The Callahan Sons , but now we are meeting Caroline Callahan the only daughter of The President Of The United States.
Caroline is a young woman starting her career as the head of Read 4 Life Literacy Program but what she finds out is she’s not going alone she’s about to have company with her in Secret Service Member Ty Fraser.
Ty Fraser is a loyal Agent to the Callahan family, he has protected Barrett & Thorn but when the President asks you personally to protect his daughter you can not say no.
The banter between Ty & Caroline is hysterically funny but the sexual tension is off the charts HOT. They will have some moments that will get tense and you will see where the protection is needed but you will also see the relationship that is developing as they spend more time together and it’s fun to watch.
All in all you will want them to find that happiness that every couple is looking for

This is the third book in the Running Mate series by Katie Ashley.
This was a really fun read. It flew by so fast just like book one did!
Basic premise: She is the President’s daughter and someone is sending her death threats. In order to protect her, her father sends Ty and a team of agents to be with her as she starts her new career. Things get heated when they learn that the two of them have to live together and get to know each other better than they ever have before.
I felt like Ty had a lot more to lose than Caroline did. When he gets personally involved with his “target”, it could mean her death. I enjoyed watching the struggle between these two as they fought with themselves and their own inner demons in order to find love with each other.
The ending was s really sweet conclusion and a real surprise to boot! Gotta love those British spy guys!
If you love a good contemporary romance, definitely check this one out. You won’t be disappointed.

Caroline was the only daughter of the president. Despite the fact that they didn't grow up with a silver spoon in their mouths, they had to adhere with the security measures that comes with the fact that their father is the leader of the free world. She was used to overbearing brothers, and just getting used to her Secret Service team when a threat comes in again, just when she was thinking she could have a bit of normal and freedom being away from her family. She ended up with a hot secret service for a room mate. This could be more dangerous for her heart - because Ty wasn't just a double threat, he was a triple threat: he's hot, he reads, he can cook and he has a British accent.
Ty Frasier just wanted to help people. That's why he joined the British Army, and then ended up with a stint as a Secret Service Agent with both Thorn and Barrett who both ended up as really great friends. They were safe. But Caroline was another story. He wasn't used to a girl roomie, never had them before. But she has a boyfriend, so she's off limits. But the longer they spent time together, the attraction just gets stronger. So what happens when Caroline was finally single? Will he take the move?
Both characters are just easy to love. Caroline, despite the fact that she was the president's daughter is very down to earth and kind to everyone. She was loyal to Perry when they were together and didn't act on the attraction she had with Ty. I love her character, she's strong, determined and brave. Ty, omg. He's a charmer. I'd like one of him for Christmas. He's someone you'd be lucky to have to. He's a total gentleman, and someone that would take a bullet for you.
I am still in love with Caroline's family. They're the most amazing people there is. So down to earth and just wants the best for their children.
Room Mate is easy, sweet, filled with swoony characters and sexy read. I enjoyed reading this book not just because of old, familiar characters that I knew once, but Room Mate made me laugh and squirm at the same time. Total must-read and just perfect for the holidays!

When POTUS says you need extra protection because you have a stalker no one dares to say no. Caroline loves her Dad but living in her new West Virginia apartment with a Secret Service Agent who is a Greek God made man is going to be tricky!
She is independent and he is overprotective, yet somehow, they become friends. Living together is not easy... especially when you have to share a shower! This is when rules come in handy. So whoever said rules were made to be broken?
Amazing suspenseful and romantic story which will leave you smiling!

Cheesy, fun, sexy and so very delightful, this author writes wonderful stories about the heart. You want to meet the characters in her stories, get to befriend them and live in their world. She writes characters with honor and values, even if they’re a little crazy (like Barrett) or very serious (like Thorn), they are all likable and friendly.
In this installment of the Callahan siblings, Caroline, the youngest and only daughter of Presiden Callahan, is being targeted by a stalker. The stalker has sent several menacing letters and emails promising bodily harm, and has shown to be able to get very close to her, even with her Secret Service detail. So the Callahan men decide to assign her a bodyguard that will live with her in her new apartment when she starts her new job.
Ty Frasier used to be Barrett’s bodyguard, then he changed to being Thorn’s bodyguard, and now he’s assigned to Caroline. Caroline has no choice but to accept this intromission into her private life when she’s made to understand the seriousness of the situation. She has known Ty for years when he worked with her brothers and has little problem getting her boyfriend to accept her new room mate. However, as the days go by, her boyfriends snobbishness and elitist behavior appear very ugly and petty compared to Ty’s professionalism, courtesy and consideration. After one memorable accident, where Caroline entered the bathroom and caught Ty leaving the shower and got to see him in all his naked glory, she had a hard time remembering why she liked Perry (the douche boyfriend) so much.
This book was a little predictable but very entertaining. There was the danger of the stalker but there was not a lot of suspense. I liked reading about the surveillance of the agents and the sexual tension between Ty and Caroline, plus the banter between the siblings and their partners. The view into the White House living was intriguing. It was entertaining, warm-hearted and lovely to read.

Another amazing read by Katie Ashley. I just love how she writes her stories. They are always unputdownable :) :)
This was a perfect mix of swoon, angst and feels. Both characters were likable and I loved how protective Ty was of Caroline.
Oh, and a mention of certain Ethan Blackstone <3 <3 <3 Perfection!

I really enjoyed Room Mate. Caroline and Ty were perfect for each other and I am so glad they got their HEA. This book had a lot of elements I love while reading. It was fun, sexy and had a little suspense to it. I also love the updates from the other characters in the previous books. The Epilogue was heartwarming and had me smiling for them.

What a fun book. The daughter of the President is a seriously down to earth girl. Her surprise Agent is one HOT man. Together they face the stalkers, breakups and goof-ups of life, all while falling in love. A very sweet love story, with a bit of action and some drama! Perfect for a rainy afternoon.

What an awesome addition to the Callahan Clan, Caroline is the only daughter of the President and Ty is the hot secret service-room mate, really enjoyed Caroline and Ty, I will admit it started off slow but certainly picked up very quickly, liked the banter between the couple and loved hearing from Barrett and Thorn.
The Epilogue was great.

Out of 3 books in the series, this was slightly better.
At least it let me at see their relationship development eventhough it's quite unbelievable but since Ty is a sweet character and Caroline is somewhat a fighter, than it become an okay story for me.

Room Mate focuses on the youngest of the FIRST children and the only girl in the mix.
Room Mate is a quick read and emotionally engaging. We have already met the delectable Ty in both Running Mate and Office Mate, the hottie secret service agent with a heart as big as his *cough* hands 😉
When Caroline’s life is threatened by an obsessive stalker Ty is transferred from Thorn to Caroline’s protection detail, although the level of protection is to be 24/7 with an unprecedented protocol of becoming roommates!!!!
There has always been a significant connection between Ty and Caroline but neither has gone too far into fantasy land with the other in the starring role due to their professional association. Circumstances dictate a high level of vigilance on Ty’s part, which prevents him from acting on his desires.
With each week that passes, the constant contact between Caroline and Ty only fuels the flames of the passion burning between them. I adored how sensitive and noble Ty is throughout the story, which only adds to his overall appeal.
Despite his professional position within the relationship, Ty has also become a member of the Callihan family in his own right. I loved how seamlessly Ty’s altered status was not only accepted but approved 💕
Room Mate provides a delightful mix of warm and fuzzies with romantic suspense.
