The Backup Boyfriend by River Jaymes

4.0

Reading this because Ari reading this and the blurb seems like a fanfic but duh I'm always all for a fake-boyfriend-turn-lover theme. And with a GFY-jock nonetheless? Yeeesss, this is exactly my piece of candy.

After being hiatus quite long from reading any M/M romance--which ironically because I'm on a way of making one--this story is, dare I say, a perfect choice for my long-hibernated-m/m-brain. A bit uncomfortable with Jaymes' wordings that somewhat feels weird on me--eyelids slammed, breath whoosed? really--but the humor is so good and the characters are lovable, too! And oh, I love this thingy Jaymes' said about 'labels', because yes, they suck sometimes. And I love the ending!

I hope the next book is about Noah? Because he's so interesting yet in here he still looked so troubled. Plus, I want to hear about Rick from Noah's point of view, too. :)
