Publisher Description
Luc O'Donnell is tangentially―and reluctantly―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 them go.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you’ve ever longed for an LGBTQ+ rom-com in the style of a mid-’90s Hugh Grant flick, Boyfriend Material is here for you. Luckless Luc is dogged by the specter of his pop star parents’ fame, especially when his estranged dad’s post-rehab comeback starts bringing so much unwelcome attention to Luc’s own messy life that he has to find a respectable boyfriend to upgrade his image. Mild-mannered barrister Oliver seems like the ideal choice—he even needs a fake relationship for his own reasons. But this courtship of convenience starts getting too real too quickly. Author Alexis Hall’s distinctly British, weapons-grade wit and arch humour liven up every page, but Joe Jameson’s charming narration also captures the essential sweetness at the story’s core. Even Luc’s quirky crew of co-workers and friends are so vividly drawn, we wanted each of them to get their own story. This is a perfect listen to take to the beach.

Fantastic Listen
Absolutely loved listening to this the last two days. Really easy listen great Narrating from Joe and brilliantly comedic writing with gasp moments and screaming at Luc to get on with it.
Listened on Spotifys new Audiobook free 15hrs and used all of them on this audiobook.
Really recommend. So excited to listen to Husband Material, which I am buying this time instead cause I just can’t wait to hear to rest of the story.
