 This is one of those books where the cover caught my eye and I decided I had to read it. This is a New Adult book with the young men in this book being freshmen in college. I liked this book quite a bit but whenever a book deals with BDSM, I have some pretty strict guidelines on whether or not I can fully get behind it or not. First let me say that what these two experiment with is BDSM light, but what disturbs me is they are buying and using tools of the trade without any training. I do like the fact that they spent some time on the internet researching and that they did a lot of talking about it but I still worry about safeguards especially in a book that's targeted to a younger audience. That being said, I found the characters to be likeable and the story of their sexual discovery to be entertaining. It was a good book and this new to me author shows some great promise. 
 Adam was a little shocked to find male bondage and fetish pictures on his jock roommate, Josh's computer. When he's caught he runs, but Josh later convinces him to look at it with him and they begin to act out the pictures with each other. Adam is gay and out although Josh wasn't aware. Josh is firmly in the closet but finds himself wanting to share this part of himself with Adam. 
 Both of these young men are fairly inexperienced and so they kind of work together to figure out what they both want and need from each other. It was hard not to like both of them and see the struggles they both have as their friendship builds and turns into something more. While I was concerned about their lack of training in BDSM, it didn't keep me from enjoying their experimentation and their journey. 
 While I would have liked to know a little more about the characters and delved into their psyches a little more, His Roommate's Pleasure was entertaining. The rush of first love is special and I very much enjoyed watching these two young men fall.
