The first step is to change his dating partners from random exploits to a nice respectable boyfriend. His public image is not the best and, given that he works for a charity that relies on image, Luc need to find a way to change it one step at a time. As the child of two famous people, Luc’s life has been in and out of the spotlight. The entire story is told from the point of view of the main character, Lucien (“Luc”) O’Donnell. I’ve heard of this novel before, so I have no idea why it took me so long to get to it, but I am very glad that I did! I know this is not a unique concept, but it just happened to be something different among my other reads. Lately, I have read or listened to many novels where one of the characters has flaws and the other has either minor or nonexistent ones. True, one has slightly more obvious ones than the other, but I loved that neither was perfect and they each had to grow to be with the other. This is usually an entertaining troupe, but this story became a delight in my eyes as the two characters each had a lot of flaws that they had to work through. And that’s when you get used to someone…start falling for them…don’t ever want to let them go.īoyfriend Material was exactly the fun story that I was in the mood for as it featured an opposites attract fake dating love story. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.īut the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust settles. 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. In other words, he’s perfect boyfriend material.

He’s a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship…and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come.

Now that his dad’s making a comeback, Luc’s back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he’s never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Luc O’Donnell is tangentially – and reluctantly – famous.
