Book Boyfriend is the first book I have ever read by Claire Kingsley. I have to ask myself why, why, why?! Because I have fallen in love with this book. It was full of humor, it was quirky, sweet, sexy as heck and just beautifully told. And the ending. Well, I swooned.
Mia Sullivan loves books. I mean, she really, really does. In real life, I think she was like a patient liaison at a hospital. She wears glasses which are constantly slipping down her nose, she is awkward, constantly dropping things or bumping into things and words just seem to occasionally pop out of her mouth. She has no filter. But Mia has an alter ego, Bookworm Babe or “BB.” It’s a book blog that she started for fun but it grew in popularity and now it’s a huge part of her life. Online she isn’t awkward or always doing the wrong thing. She has developed online friendships, one in particular with a popular romance author, Lexi Logan. They chat almost daily and she finds herself telling Lexi things she doesn’t tell anyone else. Just like you would a normal best friend.
Alex Lawson has a crappy job he hates and a novel he has been trying to write for years. His father has a serious debilitating back injury and needs expensive surgeries that insurance won’t completely cover. So Alex is doing all he can to help pay for his father’s care. It’s his sister, Kendra, who finally suggested that perhaps Alex could use his writing talent in a more marketable way, romance. But male romance authors are a hard sell so why not write under a female pen name, Lexi Logan. And who would have thought that Alex would actually be good at it. His books became wildly popular.
“No one has ever kissed me like that before. So perfectly. I didn’t even mess it up. Normally I get so flustered, I do things like elbow the guy or poke him in the eye. But not this time. Not with Alex.”
Alex and Mia literally crashed into one another and Alex found himself smitten with this gorgeous, funny, sweet woman. He just can’t seem to get her off his mind. It doesn’t take long, though, for him to figure out that this is “BB.” This is the book blogger his alter ego, Lexi, has been chatting with. But no one except his sister knows who Lexi Logan really is. Alex’s Dad’s medical care is hugely expensive. He barely knows Mia. It’s too early in their relationship to take a chance on telling her the truth. What if it doesn’t work out between them? She could out him. But their relationship fast tracks and feelings quickly deepen. He knows he needs to tell her but now he’s afraid he could lose her. Is there ever a right time to tell the woman you’re in love with that you’ve been lying to her?
“He has the look of a man who knows exactly what he wants, and is completely confident he’s going to get it. He should be. He’s absolutely going to get it. Whatever he wants, I’m giving it to him.”
I love the way this story was told. Just loved it. I couldn’t love Mia any more. I mean, she’s like my own personal idol. She loves to read, she lives to read. What I really loved about her, though, was that all her clumsiness, awkwardness, or inability to socialize disappeared when she was with Alex. She was confident and she was sexy when she was with him. He seemed to bring out all the best in her. These two together were on fire.
“You’re right out of a book. Gorgeous and sexy. Romantic. Fun. I joked for years that all my book boyfriends ruined me for real men, but you give those fictional guys a run for their money.”
For me, this was just a perfect book. I couldn’t put it down. There were no slow spots. I had to keep turning the pages to see what happened with Mia and Alex. And I couldn’t have loved the ending more. I definitely want to read more by Claire Kingsley and the perfect way to follow this up is with Alex’s sister, Kendra’s book, Cocky Roommate. I have a feeling I’m going to fall in love with it just as I did this one.
“I literally ran into him by random chance, and every day since has been like a waking dream. He’s everything. No writer could have come close to creating a hero so perfect for me.”
