Boyfriend Material

by Alexis Hall

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

This book had me laughing out loud from the very start! I can’t remember a book that I have read (not a comedy) that had me laughing as much as Luc’s and Oliver had me laughing. Their back and forth conversations, Luc;s inner dialogue and the comical situations he gets himself into made this romance an absolute riot to read.

I have been over stressed with life and dramatic love stories for a while now, so Boyfriend Material was a welcome change.

This story sets up with Luc, the abandoned son of a British rock legend trying to reform his image after another unflattering run-in with the paps. Solution: a squeaky clean boyfriend to redeem with tarnished image. Insteps Oliver. He’s a barrister and almost OCD with his cleanliness and professionalism. If anyone can shine a light on Luc, its Oliver. They go on a disastrous first date, but since they both need this relationship to prove a point in the future, they decide to fake date. Hilarity ensues.

These two don’t know how to be in a real relationship, so obviously their fake relationships has just as many ups and downs… until they can’t tell if the feelings they are feeling are real.

Luc and Oliver were an adorable odd couple and their pairing had the same comedic genius. Their going attachment and love was fun to watch develop and root for.

Right now we can all use a little fun in our romance and this book definitely was fun. I highly recommend this book!

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall is scheduled to be released July 7th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from Sourcebooks Casablanca through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

My Contrary Mary

My Contrary Mary Voice Galley by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, & Jodi Meadows ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 What a fun treat to be back in the world of Verities and Eðians (shapeshifters)that readers were introduced to in My Lady Jane! In this re-telling of the story of Mary Queen of Scots, we are shown her life at court in France where she awaits to be married to her betrothed, the France Dauphin, Francis. Both Mary and Francy are nearly pawns in their elders plans, but they yearn for a time when they will be able to rule together and make a difference to their respective kingdoms. Like the other Janite books before this, magic and comedy play a big role and make this story a lot of fun. The comedic references to modern movies were such a hoot to spot and decipher what movie they were from! This book went at a relatively quick pace and followed our teenage royalty as they attempt to find a way to rule in a divided world. The Verities and Eðians seem like a good representation of the Cat...
