Boyfriend Material by Ilsa Madden-Mills

4.0

---

This book was a great read that is full of emotions and the characters endure a lot of hurt throughout. Eric isn’t like he was in book one when we would see him, he is more intense and broodier because he feels so much pressure weighing him down. While he is trying to live up to his family’s expectations of him Julia is also struggling with her life. She is doing things to stay afloat and keep these loan sharks off her back while her mother suffers with addiction. As Julia struggles and all the men that ever comes into her life tries to tear her down Eric steps in to help her one night. These two go through so much and the more time they spend together their attraction from the past seemed to have never went away, but with all the things trying to keep them apart or tear them down can they make it? This book was a tad darker than most by this author and while I loved it I also felt that Eric and Julia were more friends than lovers because we don’t get a lot of romance from them since so much is happening to them both. Overall, this was a great read with lots of drama and angst that will keep you guessing what will happen and hold you captivated to the end.
