BLURB:
“It has recently come to my attention that I have turned into something of an oblivious asshole.
In my defense, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Ben Harrison is not having the best year. It starts out with his sister announcing her engagement to his ex-boyfriend. The revolving door of roommates leaving as they find their happily ever afters doesn’t help. Neither does his knack for making bad decisions.
“I’m going right back to school come fall. I don’t plan on stopping until people are forced to call me Dr. Olson.”
Jonathan Olson is too busy for a relationship. As a deaf graduate school student, he works nonstop to fulfill his dream of being a scientist for the Forest Service. He certainly doesn’t have time to deal with an asshole who treats him like he doesn’t exist.
When a friend suggests that Jonathan pose as Ben’s boyfriend for his sister’s wedding, they both have their reasons for agreeing. But what starts out as a game of pretend between frenemies quickly turns into something meaningful, no matter how hard they try to fight it. But even fake boyfriends can be a challenge for two men who are convinced that they aren’t relationship material.
REVIEW:
When I met Ben Harrison I wasn’t sure whether to be annoyed by him or feel sorry for him. He seems to have that problem with people a lot. But he’s put in a bad situation by someone who should love him and so sympathy won out.
Jonathan Olson is a determined to get what he wants out of life and he’s not afraid to work hard to get it. His impairment tries to slow him down sometimes but Jonathan is having none of it. He doesn’t put up with bullshit from anyone and maybe that’s why Ben likes him so much.
I liked these two men and it was fun watching them learn about each other as something that started as a lie slowly turns into the truth. They are very sweet together and %90 percent of the angst that they get into is self-inflicted through miscommunication. Low self-esteem really will get you into a lot of trouble.
These guys were sweet and I enjoyed to book, but I didn’t find the wow factor I was looking for. I was really hoping to be blown away by Ben’s story but I just found that it was nice. It was good to finally see Ben get his story because it’s been coming for a long time and I think Jonathan was the perfect fit for him.
Ben’s family was an interesting bunch although I am confused as to how his parents ended up with such different children. There’s one who really should have been put in a corner more often.
It was good to have some of the guys from the previous books make an appearance. I always enjoy seeing how the other couples happily ever after turned out. It’s like visiting with old friends. I think Dave and Arthur are still my favorite couple in this series and I loved their story the best.
This is a good read, with some really funny moments that I loved. There’s enough angst and sadness to make the happy times all the better and it’s a pretty good addition to this series.
