Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
5.0
The writing is fantastic, and the narration is even better. Joe Jameson is phenomenal. It’s my first audiobook with him as a narrator and I was blown away.
I love the story and the premise. A son of moderately famous parents, particularly an absent father back in the limelight. This means the tabloids have renewed interest in Luc, and all his failures (real or otherwise).
Along with a cast of slightly nutty friends, colleagues, and family, a plan is hatched to get a fake boyfriend to rehab his image to save his job.
Enter Oliver. A very proper, very English lawyer, who drives Luc insane at every turn. Very kind, very organized, and very thoughtful Lawyer.
One has to say, Luc is obnoxious, self-centred, and a complete disaster. I wasn’t sure I was ever going to like him. He’s rude to pretty much everyone who cares about him and never pays attention to anything that doesn’t involve himself. It took probably 90% till I finally start to feel a little mushy to him. Unlike Oliver who was endearing in his own stuffy way from the beginning.
I’m definitely excited to see what happens in the next book, Husband Material.
4.5 Stars
