Spencer Cohen is the guy who gets answers to relationship questions. Playing the role of the new lover, his job is to make his client’s ex realise one of two things: he doesn’t want to break up or he really does. Either way, his client gets answers.The ex would either apologize and beg, or turn and walk. But in the end, Spencer’s client won. If he wanted his ex back and got him, it was great. If … great. If the guy walked away, then as hard it was for the client, he knew it was over. Regardless of the outcome, Spencer’s work was done.
Andrew Landon’s ex left him without so much as an explanation. But his sister can’t stand to see him miserable, so, much to Andrew’s dismay, they hire Spencer to be Andrew’s new boyfriend to get the ex back.
For Spencer, it is never personal. Merely a business transaction. No emotions, no strings, no complications.
Yeah right.
Even a blind man could see how this would end.

Spencer has made a successful business by acting like the perfect boyfriend in order to make his client’s ex feel jealous. He’s good at his job, and he’s good at getting results. It’s the perfect job for a man who has no desire to get too close to anyone. The last thing Spencer expects is to actually fall in love with a client, but Spencer can’t help himself when it comes to Andrew, his newest client.
N.R. Walker takes the fake boyfriend trope and created a beautiful and sweet story that melted my heart. The book is a fast read, but it didn’t feel rushed. I fell deeply in love with both Spencer and Andrew, and enjoyed watching their relationship bloom and grow. This story has some mild angst, but it’s very well balanced by cuteness and sweetness. It’s a little predictable, but honestly, that was okay, because this book was about the journey to love. This was an easy 5 star read for me.
The audiobook was narrated by Joel Leslie, and it was just as wonderful as the book. I fell in love with the characters all over again, and enjoyed the performance Joel Leslie gave.
4.5*
Just when I thought I was going to get through this one with no tears…yeah, right! I should have known better, it is N.R. Walker afterall, and even the most light-hearted of her books have reduced me to tears at some point or another. This one just gave me hope that no tissues would be needed, right up until the very end!
This was such a fun, sweet read, even with the tears. Spencer and Andrew are so adorable, I want to give them squishy hugs!
There’s a lot more to Spencer than his easy-going demeanor leads you to believe, and I loved that we got to see him at his most vulnerable. And Andrew is so endearing, with his Argyle sweaters and blushes. They were so cute with each other, it just took them a little while to realize how perfect they were together! And now I can’t wait to see what’s next for them
Get ready to stalk the crap out of N.R. Walker!
Spencer is the sexy “lumbersexual hipster” Australian *instant swoon* who has moved to LA for a fresh start.
He keeps his personal life to himself and stays relatively emotionally detached. Which is a great things for his work. Spencer is the one you go to when you want your ex back.
Its pretty simple for Spencer, he fake dates someone in order to get the answers they need. Either the ex doesn’t care and they know its time to move on, or the ex realizes what they have lost and come crawling back.
Either way, the client gets an answer and Spencer gets paid.
When Spencer meet Andrew through his friend, he assumes it’s going to be just another client, but he couldn’t have been further from the truth.
Andrew wants his ex-fiance back and is willing to go to any length to make him see that they belong together, including meeting up with Spencer and taking part in this crazy plan to get his man back.
These two are so adorably cute! The banter and shameless flirting between these two is easy, and off the charts sexy. It has you melting for them both.
The more they get to know each other the more they develop a deep friendship. And the more Spencer learns about Eli, Andrews ex, the less he understands why Andrew wants him back. Nor does he like the idea.
Spencer goes through the motions of what he would normally do with a client, only he isn’t acting. He wants Andrew. And the longer he drags this out, the more he is sure he will be hurt.
Finally getting Eli’s full attention with a kiss that rocked both their worlds, Spencer now has to walk away and let Andrew have what he always wanted, Eli.But when it’s all said and done, is it really Eli that Andrew wants?
This is a unique and sweet read that had me tearing up a little, OK fine, I may have shed a tear or two. And damn was it hot!
I will say it now, there is not hot, balls to the wall sex in this story, and you know what? It’s still hot, it just works perfectly! I didn’t even realize they didn’t have sex until I was gushing over how much I love this book to a friend of mine.
Seriously, make sure you add this to your TBR and grab it on release day!
You wont be disappointed.
