Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
5.0

I chose this because I needed something to read and it was available, so I didn't have any expectations. I was so very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it! Luc is the son of an aging rock star who abandoned him and his mom when he was three, was infamous for his bad behavior, and now is trying to clean up his act by judging on a show that sounds similar to The Voice. Luc himself has always been sidelines famous since his mom was also in music and after some bad behavior of his own, ends up in the papers and well known for the wrong reasons. Then, as his dad shows up in his life again, his current boss basically tells him that his image as the promiscuous gay guy with a partying problem will get him fired if their fundraiser for the beetle they research doesn't go well. So, to clean up his image, he asks a mutual friend's other gay friend to be his fake boyfriend until after the event. Oliver is a respectable vegitarian, ethical, lawyer who also needs to take someone to an event right after Luc's so they decide to fake date. As they get to know each other they start to realize their fake feelings might not be all fake after all, so what will happen once their arrangement is done?
