Release Blitz, Exclusive Excerpt & Giveaway:
Horribly Harry by Lisa Henry & Sarah Honey
Bad Boyfriends, Inc, Book 2
Bad Boyfriends, Inc—when you can’t find a good boyfriend, why not hire a bad one instead?
To supplement his income while he’s completing his Early Education degree, Harry Townsend hires himself out as a terrible date—for a set fee, he’ll horrify parents and family members in all sorts of interesting ways. But when it comes to actual relationships—and sex—Harry doesn’t get the appeal. He doesn’t get the same tingly feelings everyone else seems to when they meet someone attractive. And he’s fine with that.
Jack Windsor abandoned his university degree to do an apprenticeship as a mechanic. He’s happy with his choices, but leaving uni meant losing his accommodation, and now he’s crashing on his sister Mia’s couch. It isn’t ideal, but it’s only until he finds something else—which is proving difficult in Sydney’s brutal rental market.
When Jack recognises Harry from his sister’s terrible date, he almost kills him with a strawberry smoothie. In the aftermath he discovers that not only was Harry’s bad date with Mia a setup, but that Harry is looking for a roommate.
Moving in with Harry is great, if only he wasn’t so distractingly cute—and totally uninterested in Jack. Except as they grow closer, for the first time ever Harry starts to develop feelings—tingly ones. But how can Harry and Jack be together when Jack’s family thinks that Harry is the worst human being in the universe?
Horribly Harry has previously been published. This new edition contains no major content changes.

Cutting through the sunlit courtyard, Harry caught sight of Mia, and he brightened. Mia was cool—she’d been his first Bad Boyfriend date and she was always happy to chat with him when they spotted each other around the campus. She was sitting at a table with a blond guy who was wearing jeans and a faded Ramones T-shirt. The guy was sipping some sort of pink smoothie.
“Hi, Mia.” Harry dumped his backpack on the ground. “How’s it going?”
Mia blinked at him. “Oh, hey. Hi, how are you?”
She looked a little off, and Harry wondered if he was interrupting something. Ambrose always said he couldn’t read a room with a pair of binoculars, and he probably had a point.
“I won’t bother you,” he said. “I’m just on my way home. Great to see you though.”
“You too.” She darted a look at the blond guy.
Harry looked too.
“Hey,” the guy said. He stood up and stuck out his hand. “Jack.”
“Hey,” said Harry. He shook it. “I’m Harry.”
The guy dropped his hand, his eyes narrowing. “Harry? As in, the Harry who dated Mia?”
“Oh,” Harry said. “Um, sort of? I mean—”
But before he could say what he meant, Jack suddenly grabbed his smoothie and dumped it over his head.
Wet, Harry thought, quickly followed by cold. Then, lagging in third place, What the fuck?
“Jack!” Mia exclaimed, jumping to her feet and grabbing a paltry paper serviette to hold out to Harry as though it would make any difference at all. “Oh my God! Harry!” Then, again, she shouted, “Jack!”
Harry was aware of other people in the courtyard laughing and pointing. He was pretty sure some of them had their phones out as he stood there with pink smoothie sliding through his hair and dripping down his face and shirt.
“That’s for being an arsehole to my sister,” Jack said, “and for dumping water on my dad.”
“Oh,” said Harry faintly. He swallowed and tasted strawberries. “Oh, no.”
He was growing dizzy and lightheaded. His throat itched. His tongue…
“My backpack,” he said around the sudden swelling. His heart skipped several beats as sudden, sharp fear, colder than the smoothie, flooded him. “Need…” He was slurring his words, and Mia was still holding the serviette out to him, her face creased with confusion. “Strawb’ries. Need—EpiPen.”
Harry had a moment to enjoy the sudden look of unmasked horror on Jack’s face before he stumbled to the ground, and everything went black.

About Lisa Henry:
Lisa likes to tell stories, mostly with hot guys and happily ever afters.
Lisa lives in tropical North Queensland, Australia. She doesn’t know why, because she hates the heat, but she suspects she’s too lazy to move. She spends half her time slaving away as a government minion, and the other half plotting her escape.
She attended university at sixteen, not because she was a child prodigy or anything, but because of a mix-up between international school systems early in life. She studied History and English, neither of them very thoroughly.
She shares her house with too many cats, a dog, a green tree frog that swims in the toilet, and as many possums as can break in every night. This is not how she imagined life as a grown-up.
Lisa has been published since 2012, and was a LAMBDA finalist for her quirky, awkward coming-of-age romance Adulting 101, and a Rainbow Awards finalist for 2019’s Anhaga.

Sarah started life in New Zealand. She came to Australia for a working holiday, loved it, and never left. She lives in Western Australia with her partner, two cats, two dogs and a life-size replica TARDIS.
