The Book Boyfriend Series

Book Boyfriend #1-4

by Carly Phillips

The Book Boyfriend Series Complete Collection includes the following BIG SHOTNothing is more satisfying than bringing a big shot to his knees… Wes Sinclair can have any woman he wants. So, the hot, dirty fantasies he’s having about his best friend’s off-limits sister—the one who keeps stealing his clients and seems immune to his charms—are driving him nuts. Which might explain why he proposed the bet that took such an unexpectedly sexy turn… Natalie Prescott has worked hard to become the best realtor in the business, and she’s not about to let a little thing like losing a bet to Wes get her down. She can definitely control herself for the next two weeks without doing anything dumb…like falling for the ultimate bad boy... It's not long before Wes is ready to renegotiate the terms of their bet into something more permanent. The real question is whether the stakes will be too high for Natalie. Good thing Wes has never backed away from a fight in his life…FAKING ITFake engagements only work if both parties remember they’re supposed to be faking it…Damsels in distress don’t interest Max Sterling. But that didn’t stop him from posing as his gorgeous client’s fiancé when she needed him. Having a fake girlfriend might keep his momma off his back about his bachelor status, too. It was a win-win. Until he started developing very real feelings and ruined everything… Hailey Ellison had her reasons for creating an imaginary fiancé. But she never expected her hot realtor to rescue her when the ruse was about to be exposed. She never thought a man like him could want a curvy girl like her, either. So, imagine her surprise when he seemed more than willing to reap the sexy benefits of their pretend engagement… WELL BUILTHe’s a sexy, well-built lover, not a fighter. But he’ll make an exception for her… Kyle Coleman left his small hometown years ago and had zero desire to return. But his plans to build a business for his mother forced his hand. He knew he’d run into the only woman he ever loved (and lost) at some point. He had no way of knowing, however, that he’d want her now even more than ever… Ella Fisher had almost forgotten how much she missed Kyle. Until he showed up, hot as ever, to steal the building she wanted for her family business right out from under her. Now all she could think about was how much they’d lost…and how much more she wanted. Kyle and Ella soon realize they might make it happily ever after this time around. But only if they can let go of their first love and take the second chance fate has given them for their last love. ROCK SOLIDHe’s a rock-solid relationship guy. No one-night stands. Except that one. But once was all it took to change everything… Connor Prescott had the most intense night of his life in a snowed-in airport with a total stranger. When he woke up the next day, he wanted more. He wanted everything.

Reviews

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

A set of four books where the owners of Prestige Realty get their own HEA.
In Big Shot, Wes and Natalie (who we were introduced to in Sexy Sinner) story. It's a fun story and there are definitely laugh out loud scenes.
In Faking It, Max and Haley'so story. The events reiterate that truth does mostly prevail. Max is supper nice and Haley has bahgage which Max handles beautifully. There are cute moments, there are somewhat embarrassing moments, there are some smile bringing moments and confirmation that jealousy really does make one nasty.
In Well Built, we meet Kyle and Ella who were involved ten years previously. It's a more intense story as both battle a list of situations that shaped their not being together all that time ago. They do get to the point where they realise they have to make their decisions in order to move forward. It's a different story and has its own merits. I just wish that the tiny details were consistent. Ella is apparently two hours away from Chicago whilst Kyle is only an hour.
In Rock Solid, we meet Connor and Katie who had one night of fun three years and seven months ago. They were happy to play the fantasy which results in a pregnancy and no way of finding one another. A magazine features both the business and Connor. Lucky for Katie, her friend and neighbour leads her to the photo of Connor and Katie has the tools armed to contact Connor and inform him that he is a dad. Katie however has baggage and it's not plain sailing. They have to overcome a few of those obstacles before they have their HEA.
All good reading.

Averaging rating on Male Lead. All books have a basic trope and end the way you think they will (HEA). Found all female leads, but Ella, to be likable. All each had their own issues to get through but it took way too long for Ella to grow a backbone.

Wes - 2-stars. I still can't get over how his inability to tamp down his erection resulted in not giving Natalie a well-deserved position in the company.

Max - 4-stars. Compassionate and understanding. 'Nuff said.

Kyle - 0.1-star. Alpha, but not in a good and/or sexy way.

Connor - 3-star. Stand-up guy.

As a collection, it was good. I love when I get to hear about all the characters and their HEAs! The first book or 2 have some comedy to them but that seems to fizzle into more serious and drama by the last couple. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing as it gives some variety, but I enjoy RomCom most (life is too serious as it is!)

[Susie Duffy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought all four of these books were cute. Superior spicy scenes. The stories were short enough to not get bored. I thought all of the FMC's were great except for Hailey in Book 2. Too many insecurities. It was annoying. And I thought all the MMC's were just fine. I enjoyed them all.

[Nope · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decently written just not well edited, unnecessary detail gets annoying after a while. Dominant men and sometimes annoyingly insecure women, but steamy and explicit sex scenes. I didn't usually like female narrators but this one didn't bother me.

[Ferbooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

This boxset consists of four steamy stories. Each story is unique, with characters that are easy to relate to. There are lots of conflicting emotions that will keep you interested. Love the narration, it makes listening pleasurable.

[Dhamiera Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good collection of stories. Each guy was a stand up person worthy of the women they found. Of all 4 stories, Conners was my favorite due to the complexity of how they met. The narrators were great, too.

[Andrea Fernandez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Each story was adorable, sweet, endearing, and sinfully sensual. I enjoyed every single moment of each book. Great series!

[Rosemary Hughes · Rating 5 out of 5]
