Fiction. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) Luc O'Donnell is tangentiallyâ??and reluctantlyâ??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 someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words, he's 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 settles. 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 th… (mer)

A fun and witty, sweet LGBTQ romance. Romances are one of my favorite escapist reads. There’s just something about spending a few hours with interesting people working out their differences and finding happy times that fills my brain with endorphins.

I really enjoyed the banter between the two protagonists. Sometimes I even ended up laughing out loud as I read!

Apparently March my theme was LGBTQ Romance. Most of the books I read fell into this category. I’ve actually had this series on my shelf for a while. Amazon recommended it to me after reading Red, White & Royal Blue (Which I absolutely loved).
Boyfriend Material is based around the main character, Lucien, who is a very insecure guy who needs to find a fake boyfriend for an event to boost is reputation. The fake boyfriend, Oliver, is a barrister who can’t seem to keep boyfriends and has his own amount of insecurities, but also needs a date for an event. The two learn to get along with each other and grow into having an actual relationship despite their faults.
The story is a good balance of serious and comedy and I would definitely recommend the read. Oliver was a little bit dislikeable for me for most of the book, but he grew on me. Hall has a good writing style and keeps the reader engaged.
★★★★ I would put this one second on my top LGBT list. Red, White, & Royal Blue still in #1. ( )

Very very solid romance novel, skipping all the obvious caveats about how romance novels are not real life. I wish I hadn't stayed up to finish it though, because it ended on a slightly discomfiting note and then I lay in bed having Thoughts and Feelings. ( )

After celeb-adjacent Luc O'Donnell appears in the tabloids once too often, he finds his job as fundraiser for an obscure charity devoted to the dung beetle in jeopardy unless he can find a presentable boyfriend. A friend of a friend agrees to be his fake boyfriend if Luc returns the favour at a family gathering.

This romcom was great at the com - it had me howling with laughter at times - but the rom part was more of a meh - I just didn't care about Luc and Oliver as a couple. ( )

Read this as mixed audiobook and actual reading.

What a delight of a romance! Two charming lead characters, funny, sweet, just a little bit steamy, just a little bit serious.

I can’t wait until Book 2 comes out.

I've never seen the point of fancy dress parties. You have two choices: either you make a massive effort and wind up looking like a dick, or you make no effort and wind up looking like a dick. And my problem, as always, was not knowing what kind of dick I wanted to be.
