Can’t Wait Wednesday: Boyfriend Material

Can’t Wait Wednesday was once Waiting on Wednesday, but the purpose is the same: for bloggers to highlight what they’re waiting on. This week that is Boyfriend Material 

Blurb

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.

I 100%, unashamedly thought of Red, White and Royal Blue when I saw this, and I am not sorry.

That said, everything about this makes me utterly gleeful, because these sorts of of fake-dating opposites sound delicious — and wait. I think this might be my first one in the genre? Heh. GIVE IT TO ME.

    Fake dating and I get to go to England – I’m there. I have heard good things too (which is what made me download the book). Fingers crossed we love it

    While the fake dating trope is great, I’m also interested in the role music plays in Luc’s life as since his parents stardom dramatically shaped in life in several ways. Great choice.

    I thought the same thing about RW&RB!
