A review by danwyn
The Boyfriend Subscription by Steven Salvatore
4.0
I received an ARC of the book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
My biggest complaint with this book is that it wasn’t longer. Both because I was enjoying it and because I honestly believe the story would benefit from a little extra time. The tension/conflict and the character development and the relationship all needed a little time to breathe to feel truly satisfying at the end. Despite that I really did enjoy it. Cole and Teddy’s dynamic was great, and they both felt very real as characters, which is definitely what carried me through the novel as quickly as I read it. I would’ve loved an epilogue of some sort as well. Did Teddy open a new nursery in Cold Spring? Did *spoilers* get formally ousted? What happened to Nicko?
Also I love seeing a revised take on pretty woman/sex work/all of those aspects. I DNF-ed a book by this author a while back, so I wasn’t sure if this one would be to my taste. I was pleasantly surprised. The other was YA, so I’ll be on the lookout for more of Salvatore’s adult books.
