Fake Boyfriend Series, Book 3

By: Eden Finley

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Iggy Toma

Ollie:

Word of advice: Don't come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they're charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help.

My family believes I can't be happy if I'm not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.

I really should've asked for his name.

Lennon:

Word of advice: Learn how to introduce yourself properly. In my defense, I don't recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey. I'm not supposed to see him again, and he's never supposed to find out I'm a reporter. That all changes when my editor reassigns me.

It's a lesson I should've learned by now. Nothing's changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.

Contains mature themes.

Opposites attract

I love this crew of friends. I adore Ollie, he is such a sweetheart, his & Lennon’s chemistry is great. I love how they work so hard to stay within technicalities. The friendship between them is sweet, I really like how they stand up for each other, and are totally gone for each other. This was another amazing story.

A hockey player and sports reporter... walk into a bar

Love; Love Love Ollie and Lennon! my favorite of the series, but seriously these two are freaking adorable by themselves AND together. Ollie's family is hilarious and the relationship of these guys with the others (in the series) is great. Found family groups are one of my favorite things in interconnected series and this series is among the best.
Iggy Toma and Alexander Cendese do a fantastic job with the narration as well. They are easy to listen to and do the story justice.

This Was a Fun Read

Totally laughed out loud
at the witty banter between the main characters and Ollie and his family. The narrators did a good job, though I have to admit I really get frustrated with Iggy and his constant slip into a wimpy Southern drawl.

Would read again

Well, it was a really good book. It does kinda suck that Lennon never got to top.

3.5 stars

Pretty good! Not the best, but worth the listen. I really liked both MCs. It was a bit slow at times, but ultimately I liked it.
