Boyfriend for Hire

Quick, fun, pleasurable!

This book was something I wasn't fully expecting to love, if I'm honest. But Nice and Elle are super sweet. Nic is an escort that is hired (by Elle's friend)mtomescort Elle to a wedding without Elle knowing. I loved the push and pull and the inner dialogue of Nic as he fought his feelings for Elle. I found the beginning to be a little slow as the end to be too quick, but overall a decent read.

3.5 rounded to 4 ⭐

Kendall Ryan is the queen of quick, easy, light, fluffy reads/ listens. And I say that with the utmost respect. Sometimes we need something light...life is full of dark. Nic and Elle are so sweet together. I actually loved their start, even though part of me was like, why didn't they just uninvite the douche to the wedding? Then all would have been fine...of course, then there would be no story, so. Swings and roundabouts and all that. Nic was such a sweetheart, I loved him from the get-go and I thought the handling of his ‘profession' was great and fit with the story and relationship well. Elle was sweet but, I wanted to shake her at times. But, after her experiences with her ex it did make sense that she'd be wary. Christine was a big ole B - I spent most of the book asking who the heck she thought she was? I'm still at a loss as to why she felt she had the right to choose on both occasions. She's the definition of a busy-body.

I don't really have a whole lot to say about this book. This is about Nic and Elle. Nic is a male escort and has been for the past 6 years. He doesn't sleep with every woman but he's not opposed to it either. Elle was recently dumped. The guy who dumped her is one of her brothers best friends and he will be at his wedding so Elle's friend who is also her brothers future bride hires an escort to be Elle's date at the wedding. This might be slightly spoilery from here on so if you're interested in reading this book and don't want spoilers skip this part. Nic and Elle hit it off immediately. They have an instant connection from the moment they meet. I liked how after Nic and Elle meet Nic doesn't sleep with any of his clients after that. In fact he mostly doesn't see any of his clients except for one lady who he is pretending to be her grandson. He is struggling with his feelings for Elle so he backs away from the escort business. Most guys would have kept on do the job and sleeping with his clients but no Nic. My biggest complaint is how Elle's brother never did or said anything about how his best friend treated his sister. That part was so unrealistic. I also did really care for Elle's friend, the one who set her up with an escort to begin with. Overall this was just an ok read and I'm not sure if I want to even continue on with the series.
