WANTED:

One (fake) boyfriend

Practically perfect in every way

Luc O'Donnell is tangentially—and reluctantly—famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.

To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship…and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.

But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don't ever want to let them go.

Discover the LGBT romance about exact opposites falling in perfectly imperfect love that New York Times and USA Today bestselling author CHRISTINA LAUREN calls "hilarious, witty, tender, and stunning."

Slightly Smiling Face“Loved probably 3/4 of the book up until the garden party and Oliver suddenly acting out of character and revealing that he actually has a lot of personal and self esteem issues, more than just the perfectionist personality. Oliver leaving after their intimate scene and the conversation they had at his doorstep. Idk it lost me. Still really enjoyed the humor and banter, loved the side characters as well.”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“This was so much fun! Absolutely loved Luc and Oliver. And a solid A+ for the audiobook narrator. He really brought the characters to life and had me laughing out loud constantly while also really feeling those gut punch moments. Wonderful read and looking forward to Husband Material!”
