The dreamiest player on the Moo U hockey team hangs a flyer on the bulletin board, and I am spellbound:
Rent a boyfriend for the holiday. For $25, I will be your Thanksgiving date. I will talk hockey with your dad. I will bring your mother flowers. I will be polite, and wear a nicely ironed shirt…
Now everyone knows it’s a bad idea to introduce your long-time crush to your messed-up family. But I really do need a date for Thanksgiving, even if I’m not willing to say why. So I tear his phone number off of that flyer… and accidentally entangle our star defenseman in a ruse that neither of us can easily unwind.
Because Weston's family is even nuttier than mine. He needs a date, too, for the most uncomfortable holiday engagement party ever thrown.
There will be hors d'oeuvre. There will be faked PDA. And there will be pro-level awkwardness…
Boyfriend is a full-length book for Weston and Abbi!
Why did I add Boyfriend to my bookshelf?
It is no secret that I am a huge fan of all things Sarina Bowen. I somehow missed reading this book when it was published and I have no idea why I haven’t taken the time to read it yet, especially since I bought a copy over a year ago. It is a short book, so it should be easy to work it into my reading schedule. I have decided that this is the week that I will finally dive into this romance.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
You missed a Bowen! One day then
That’s a new to me one but yay for short books! Hope you’re able to read it very soon!
As much as I love Sarina Bowen, I never picked up the Moo U series. The college/new adult age group just didn’t appeal to me. I hope you’ll love it!
Good one Carole. I might have signed up for a boyfriend when I was younger. LOL
I’ve enjoyed several of her books. Fun that you still have one to anticipate.
I haven’t read this author but this does look good.
I’ve enjoyed Bowen as well. Hope this one is a hit for you!
I remember this one and might have it myself. I also really enjoy this author but have not read this one.
I read this one. In my opinion, you can never go wrong with a Bowen book. They always hit the spot
I can’t believe I missed this one either! Off I go to correct it right now.
I haven’t but there are so many books by favorite authors sitting unread on my shelves! I hope you love it.
