He’s the total package. Except … Eric Miller isn’t looking for a long term relationship. And he definitely isn’t thrilled when a friend signs him up for The Boyfriend Experience app behind his back. It’s not like he has a problem getting women on his own. But when he gets a notification that someone is in need of his . . . services, he’s intrigued enough to check out her profile and can’t resist … enough to check out her profile and can’t resist the sexy, sassy little brunette who only wants him as a decoy for a family event.
Evie Bennett needs a boyfriend, stat. Someone who can accompany her to her family reunion so she doesn’t have to explain that she’s been recently dumped. Again. She’s perfectly happy being an independent woman, but what’s a girl to do when her new fake boyfriend starts to feel like the real deal?

I found this to be a wonderful story . This is
Eric and Evie’s story . Eric and his parents never faced their devastating loss so he’s emotionally shut off from relationships . Evie is a beautiful soul who has her self esteem bruised Abit from unfaithful men in her past , what starts out as no strings pretend relationship quickly turns to love but with emotional avoidance in the way .
I really enjoyed this story . I love Evie’s quirky family . It’s a well written , interesting story with steamy sexy times . I highly recommend reading this story .

Evie & Eric were amazing!! Short read full of laughs mixed with some sad moments and very good moments. What started out as an experiment on paper was real in person from the beginning. The chemistry these two had never let up during the story it just got stronger and stronger. I enjoyed them very much and loved their ending. I loved how these two complimented each other. And Evie’s parents and brother were the best!!! Lol!!!
This was a sexy, fun, flirty and exciting read that had me laughing, crying and gasping… Loved it! Evie and Eric are just awesome and thrown together in the best of ways. It was so fun to experience their journey and I really hope to visit this new series again.
I received an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Carly Phillips is one of my favorite authors and this book did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing these two individuals going from sceptical of an online dating app to falling hard for each other, thinking there is no way that love would last, and finally being so miserable without each other that they realize it actually WAS love after all.
I enjoyed the peripheral relationships the main characters had with their friends and hope to see more of them in future books. I REALLY laughed out loud at the personalities of the h’s parents and they were almost scene-stealers in some places.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with this book and would highly recommend.

ARC for honest review with no compensation
The Boyfriend Experience by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde is a standalone but we get to meet up with the Stone brothers from the Tall, Dark and Sexy series. Another amazing read by these two authors!!
What happens when you need a “fake boyfriend” to take home for a reunion…you sign up for the “Boyfriend Experience “ app as a beta tester and search the profiles for your match. Only once you meet him..you have chemistry, butterflies and swooning but you know it can only be for the immediate future. He on the other hand had no intention of being apart of this but once he meets her…he needs to know more about her.
Can this become more than a “fake boyfriend weekend” only time will tell…..
In The Boyfriend Experience we meet Eric Miller which is a successful, sexy, smooth talking, non-commitment type of guy. He’s never let himself get too close to any woman other than an occasional hookup. Evie Bennett is a hardworking woman that has had her share of bad relationships and she’s not looking for any long term commitments. When Eric’s friend signs him up to be a beta tester for his new Boyfriend Experience app he doesn’t realize what he’s gotten himself into by agreeing to be a fake boyfriend to Evie for a family reunion. Evie needs a boyfriend for a weekend with her family after she’s been dumped so there are no questions of why she’s no longer in a relationship. A friend talks her into being a beta tester for The Boyfriend Experience app so she will have a date for a crazy weekend with her non conventional family.
When Eric and Evie are brought together there are immediate sparks flying! There are so many emotions that will tug on your heart throughout the entire journey. Carly Phillips and Ericka Wilde do a great job writing together to create a sexy heartfelt romance that will suck you in!
The Boyfriend Experience is a quick, fun read. Evie needs a date for a family function and her friends tell her about the Boyfriend Experience app to find a date. Eric’s friend signed him up for the app without his knowledge and once he finds out curiosity leads him to Evie. From the minute these two meet I couldn’t put the book down. Having read Tall, Dark and Tempting and learning about this new app, I could not wait to read this new series which is a complete standalone from the Tall, Dark and Sexy series. Evie and Eric’s relationship is full of flirting, feels, family and friends!!!
All the butterfly feels in this beautiful romance!
Without Eric’s permission, his friend uses him as a beta tester for his new Boyfriend Experience app, despite the fact that Eric has absolutely no experience as a Boyfriend. He’s kept all his encounters relationship-free because of his history. But when he meets Evie, his plans to let her down easy fly out the window and he’s compelled to see it through.
Evie doesn’t want to deal with the drama of her recent breakup when she sees her family for their annual reunion, so the boyfriend for hire seems like a perfect solution. She knows there’ll be nothing continuing afterwards, and that works just fine for her.
The story really gets right to the emotional heart of things, and does so beautifully. The symbolism of the butterflies was exquisite, adding so much depth with just a few images. I really enjoyed this love story, and the HEA was nicely wrapped up. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde have once again made book magic with The Boyfriend Experience. I honestly wanted to start reading this book all over again as soon as I finished reading it the first time.
If readers have read Erika Wilde’s Tall, Dark, and Sexy series of books, Eric Miller is friends with the Stone brothers in that series and was added to beta pool of boyfriends in the Boyfriend Experience App by the creator Dylan Stone as a bit of a joke. The fact that Dylan never told Eric only made it funnier when Eric had his first match with Evie Bennett. Eric really is such an upstanding guy, he really did plan to meet Evie and let her know he wasn’t available…and then he met her in person and knew he couldn’t let her go yet.
Evie is hands down one of the sweetest and nicest characters I’ve ever met. She has the biggest heart ever and loves helping others and tries to see the best in everyone else. As she had already told her family she was bringing her boyfriend Eric to the annual family reunion, she is on the hunt for a fake boyfriend thanks to discovering her ex is a cheating jerk. Luck is on her side when she selects Eric Miller for her temporary boyfriend. Partly because he has the same first name as her ex, but mostly because they have a connection from the very first moment they meet for coffee.
I loved Evie and Eric together! OMG they had amazing chemistry from the very beginning and they seemed to each accept the other from the beginning as well. While they were both attracted to each other immediately, it was like they both knew in the beginning to not expect more than just friendship going forward. Eric was honest about being a confirmed bachelor, and Evie really did just need someone to help her out of a jam. I loved seeing Evie and Eric both share more about their pasts the more time they spent together. I have to say I had major anger issues with some of what Evie shared and needed tissues when Eric shared some of his past. So many emotions pulled from me as I read this story!
Eric and Evie worked so well for me as a couple. Evie’s family was so very welcoming and accepting of Eric and I loved Evie’s immediate family. Her parents and her brother absolutely cracked me up. I loved every moment they appeared on the page. I loved seeing Eric and Evie grow even closer as they were away for her family reunion. Their chemistry only got stronger the more time they were together and when they finally made love, it steamed up my kindle screen. I totally could tell they had real feelings for each other, yet could also tell Eric had major reservations about relationships because of his past. I love when the hero pretty much has to be hit over the head to realize he is fighting what he truly wants in his life, and Eric went all in. However, he also knew how to go big or go home to make things right with Evie.
The Boyfriend Experience was such an amazing romance filled with love, family, laughter, and tears. I loved every single moment of this story and hope we get more books from Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde around the Boyfriend Experience App. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary romances.

This book is the first in The Boyfriend Experience series and I am already sure that it is going to be a great series! The Boyfriend Experience is exactly what you think it is, it is being able to have the experience without all the headaches…sounds great right? But what happens when the experience consumes you? If you want to know, grab your copy and find out!
I’m not gonna lie, I literally LOL at parts during a lot of this book and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Definitely a fun and easy read that will make you wish an app could be so easy!
I loved the characters and how their flaws made them what they were. They were both so strong and so vulnerable at the same time. Both have taken events in their past and tried to form their lives around them, but sometimes people can make you change everything you thought you knew.

This was a fun, quick read! The ending was very sweet. Lots of laughs and seriously hot scenes. I loved Evie & Eric!!!
Eric’s friend has been working on a new app the boyfriend experience which is for women to find a boyfriend if they need someone at a function. He wanted nothing to do with this app and he wants nothing to do with a long term commitment.
Evil just broke up with her ex and has to go to a family reunion and doesn’t all the questions and whispering about her relationship. Her friend told her about the boyfriend experience app and to try it.
These two are great and I love the reason behind them meeting. It feels so real. Erika Wilde and Carly Phillips always bring their A games and this read did not disappoint. I. Could not put this read down. I highly recommend.
I felt bad for Evie that she had such a rotten cousin. I think her cousin was insecure so she used her beauty to put everyone down, especially Evie. I wonder if that is why Evie seemed to pick the wrong guys. Eric is a real hunk. I felt bad when his friend played a prank on him and signed him up for the beta test of the Boyfriend Experience app. Evie didn’t want to go to her family reunion alone, and of course she chose Eric. Eric was going to tell her no until he met her. Since Evie is such an honest, open, and caring person, Eric was hooked. I felt so terrible for the reason he felt like he could never have a long term relationship. Evie’s parents are a hoot. I loved her brother and his partner too. The end just melted my heart. I strongly encourage you to read the book. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book.
Another 5 star read by these two!! Carly and Erika write the best books. They just have this magic that pulls you in and makes you read until your eyes are so blurry and tired you just can’t read another sentence until you do because you can’t bare to put it down. I instantly loved Evie and Eric. Every single thing about them made me root for them. Eric, well he just touched my heart and Evie is hilariously perfect for him and he her. I’m telling you this book is great!! Grab it now!!
Review by Tabitha
The Boyfriend Experience is one hot amazing read. Eric and Evie’s story is one that is hot and amazing. Eric says he is never going to have a have a girlfriend but will his weekend away with Evie at her family reunion make him change his mind? This book is hot and steamy. Erica and Carly write amazing stories and this one is no different. Make sure you one click this one.
Evie Bennett is looking for a “fake” boyfriend to take to her family’s reunion, so she doesn’t have to explain that she’s been dumped… again. Eric Miller isn’t looking for a long-term girlfriend, so he finds out that he’s been signed up to beta test his business partners brother’s new app “The Boyfriend Experience” he’s not exactly thrilled. Then a notification comes in that someone is in need of his “services”.
Eric is immediately drawn to Evie when they meet. You can definitely feel the heat between them. Evie knows that it’s not going to be a “real” relationship, but Eric is doing everything he can to give her what she’s looking for (and more), while trying to stay detached, which doesn’t last for very long.
I love when Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde get together to write a book series. I always know that we’re going to get a great story with the right amount of steam. This book is full of heat, laughter, fake romance that looks pretty real (until it is just that…). Great start to a new series by two of my favorite authors.
Eric wondered why his phone dinged telling him he had a notification from The Boyfriend Experience app when he specifically told his friend, Dylan, he didn’t want anything to do with beta testing the app that Dylan was developing.
Evie is unlucky in love. Her last two relationships ended up being frogs instead of princes. She didn’t want to spend her whole family reunion weekend explaining to everyone what a failure she was at love and have everyone giving her pitty looks all weekend, so she needed a plan. Her friends told her about an app that was still in beta testing mode, so Evie said she would help out by testing things out.
Eric was going to tell Evie he wouldn’t do it, and why, but he took one look at her and decided then and there he was going to help her out, for one weekend only.
Famous last words.
Oh my gosh. This was one of the top 5 books I have ever read from Erica Wilde and Carly Phillips….maybe even ever! I loved the story, the writing, the characters…everything! Way to go, ladies! You hit this one out of the park!
What happens when you go out drinking with friends and one happens to be an app designer? Well, that designer might sign you up for his dating app without you knowing it. Evie on the other hand is in desperate need of a date for her family reunion…and one who will not look like a deeb or treat her like a jerk that her recent ex was. Evie meet Eric (Who’s profile was on the Boyfriend Experience App via his best friend). Evie is one of the test subjects for the app and Eric is well let’s just say he had planned on not going through with it but once he saw her in person that flew out the coffee shop door. I totally enjoyed this book. There were times I laughed and other times oh lets say our authors know how to romance a girl. Oh Yes this book definitely gives you the Boyfriend Experience!
