Many romance books have a problem - a MMC problem. You know them - fictional men who don't have distinct character arcs and just exist as personality-adjacent springboards for the FMC's hopes and desires. They wear glasses, they 'read romance' (yeah, that's all you say, and I side eye the heck out of that statement without more information). They're hot but they don't know it. They're not like other fictional men.

Charlie . . . *sigh* Charlie is not that book boyfriend. He’s so much better. That’s the only way I can explain BK making me root for AN ACTUAL FINANCE BRO who RECOMMENDS LISA KLEYPAS TO HIS GUY FRIENDS? Readers, Charlie is the blueprint. I yearn for Charlie. This is how you write a book boyfriend. 

This was the perfect way to wrap up this series. BK Borison’s next book is already pre-ordered TYSM.
