4.0 out of 5 starsLove or Loyalty!
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on March 9, 2019
Oliver has enjoyed a successful career as a model but at 27 he is finding that he is an old man in a young manโ€™s business and that is how Book Boyfriend Inc. came to be. He is an escort who will be the perfect book boyfriend for his clients and make all their fantasies come true or at least that was the plan until he canโ€™t forget one of his dates, Bailey.

Bailey is married to William, an unfaithful politician, and she must keep up the pretense that they are happily married. When she learns about Book Boyfriends Inc., she believes it is the perfect answer for the lonely life she is leading.

Oliver and Bailey become close but things become complicated not only by the death of Baileyโ€™s husband but by Oliver having to choose between loyalty to his best friend and roommate Skye and his new love Bailey. Let the scandal begin!

I enjoyed this debut story from this author and I would definitely read her future books.

3.0 out of 5 starsDecent story, just couldn't get into it like I wanted to.

"Her life needed a reboot, and I hoped like hell Iโ€™d be a part of the new landscape."

Okay hear me out, this one just wasn't doing it for me. I don't know if my Beta read I just finished has me in a book hangover or what but I could NOT get into this one!

It's a decent story line and I definitely wanted to know how the drama turned out, but I found myself avoiding finishing the book! Now, I do have a rather strong opposition to the times when someone calls me "woman", which the lead male character does use here.. so that didn't help.

I just couldn't figure out who I wanted to be the good guy, or really connect to any of them. By about 70%, I had it mapped out in my head how I wanted it to play out, but until then I really didn't know who I wanted to root for. Which is unusual for me!

Don't let my experience hinder you picking this one up, because at the end of the day.. it's all about a man starting a business pretending to be the characters in romance books, and who doesn't want that!

I'll definitely have to try another Victoria Blue book in the future, and see if I can connect more!

4.0 out of 5 stars great book boyfriend or best friend?
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on March 11, 2019

Oliver's career as a male model seems to be fading since he is getting older. He's broke and need to find a job ASAP. After hearing the women at the pool talking about book boyfriends, he starts to get an idea....have his own "business". He thinks that there is a market out there for females who want to have a date with their "book boyfriend". It is a great idea but Oliver has no idea what each book boyfriend is like so he recruits one of his neighbor to help him. She gives him romance novels to read to understand and act like the book boyfriend the women are looking for. His first date with is a woman that he is instantly attracted to.

Oliver does not consider that his new career might hurt his roommate's career since she is in city politics. Skye has always been there for Oliver so she is hurt that he never consider anyone else, especially her, when he made his career choices. When Oliver has another date with his first client, he finally finds out her name is Bailey, he finds out that she is actually married. Then he finds out that Skye works for her husband, who ends up deceased.

Oliver has gotten himself into a situation where he wants to be with Bailey but doesn't want to hurt Skye. But he has to decide and whatever choice he makes, he knows one of the women in his life will be hurt. He has to find out which one he can really trust!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved this storyline and POV
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on March 30, 2019

This was my first time reading a book by Victoria Blue. I enjoyed the storyline and the interesting twists the storyline takes. I also liked reading this story from the POV of the male hero in the story. Oliver Connelly, gorgeous male model, finds himself without work and all of his worst fears coming true. Is he washed up? Is he only a pretty face? Are his familyโ€™s predictions about him and his line of work actually true? When he meets some women from his condo complex, he gets a brilliant business idea, Book Boyfriend Inc. Everything is going great. Except he meets the woman of his dreams, Bailey and his bestie, Skye, is not on board with this new company. There are two heroines in this book and a third female secondary character. Bailey is the woman of Oliverโ€™s dreams. She decides to sign up for a date with a book boyfriend. Sheโ€™s been in a loveless relationship for years with a man who is not a good person. Skye has been Oliverโ€™s best friend for many years and his roommate. She and Bailey also work together in city government. The story heats up when Oliver falls in love with Bailey and Skye believes Oliver has betrayed her. It such an interesting story and the fact that it is told from Oliverโ€™s POV makes it different. I recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars An okay read for me.
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on October 17, 2021

While I didnโ€™t love this, I did like a lot of it.

Oliver is a former fashion model whoโ€™s been out of work for too long. He needs to find a way to make some money quickly. He comes up with a business plan he thinks is genius, but his best friend and roommate doesnโ€™t agree with him. At all. And she especially doesnโ€™t approve of who he hangs out with all the time. This causes lots of friction and many mean words to be said.

In addition to drama and steam, this also had some suspense thrown in. It did keep me guessing a few times.

I wasnโ€™t sure what to think of Bailey. In the beginning, she was just another client to Oliver. Then feelings got involved, but I wasnโ€™t sure how trustworthy she was. She seemed shady to me. But as the story progresses, questions are answered, mysteries are solved, and apologies are offered and accepted.

This was was my first book by this author and I wouldnโ€™t mind trying another book from her.

The audiobook was narrated by Jason Clarke. As always, he did a wonderful job. *heart eyes*

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love Me A Hot Book Boyfriend
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on July 29, 2019

I cannot say enough about this book. First off let me just say that I could NOT put this book down. Oliver is a struggling model who really needs some work to fall into his lap. The greatest idea of his life landed in his lap while he was trying to relax. There is nothing like a group of book-loving ladies to get the creative wheels turning. Let's be real here we ALL want to have our book boyfriends come to life, and Oliver manages to do just that.

Book Boyfriend Inc. is born, and now Oliver has a secret that he must keep to himself for the time being. His best friend Skye has a highly placed position at City Hall and works her fingers to the bone to achieve her career goals. Oliver's first client Bailey turns out to be more than he expected, and he finds himself wanting more of her. Their three lives collide in a way nobody could see coming, and the rifts that follow can destroy lives, reputations, and careers.

This book will have you entrenched and drooling. Victoria created an amazing world of sexy drama, steamy love interests, and humor all wrapped into one beautifully written book. If you haven't had the chance to read this book I highly recommend it. Oh, and did I mention that Oliver is mouth-watering HOT!

5.0 out of 5 stars what a great read!
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on March 13, 2019

Ok so what's not to love about a strong handsome man, a formal male model, opening his own business, granting women their very own book boyfriend dates? Nothing! that's whats wrong with it. I'll be totally honest, I've had my own fantasies about certain male book characters, so its kind of surprising to me that no on had this idea for a book before.
Thats to our benefit though because Victoria Blue has written such a good, charming, funny and enticing book about just this. Oliver, a male model who's career is just about over, stumbles across the idea and runs with it. He enlists the help of his neighbot Janine, and soon he's the hottest ticket in town. His roomate Skye hates the idea and they fight. Oliver meets Melanie, or Bailey as we come to learn who has secrets of her own. When Baileys husband dies, intrigue and deception become the name of the game.
Oliver almost loses his best friend in the world, AKA Skye over what happens, and when the deception is finally uncovered, the ending is just outright fantastic. Also, I never saw it coming, which makes me love this book even more.
Victoria Blue has written a well rounded story. Her characters are very real with human feelings and foibles. The reader can feel what they are feeling, from love, to disgust, to uncertainty. She paints a full picture with her writing, and I am a true fan of hers .
You won't be sorry if you read this.
Trust me.

This one has my mind going in so many directions and pleasantly, most were wrong turns. Oliver has to face reality when his status as the most sought after male model falls down the rabbit hole. But, his best friend/roommate Skye depends on him to pull his share of the load.
He gets an idea from the Romance novel loving neighbors and begins Book Boyfriend Inc. Who would not want a date with their favorite Book Boyfriend?

He meets a woman, 'Melanie' (Bailey) on one such date that he can't get her out of his head. Until he sees her again and again.

The business takes off, thanks to his insightful neighbor. And he must expand. With this, he decides to let others take the dates while he concentrates on the business and Bailey.
As things pick up with his business and his love life, they deteriorate in his friendship with Skye.

I have to admit I was not fond of either of Oliver's women for the longest time. But in Victoria's most wonderful way she saved them for me. ๐Ÿ˜Š The story is fun, tragic a bit and oh so hot! I love Oliver and all of his ladies.

Another knock out in the Misadventures Series and get ready to fall for Oliver. He is a model who is tasked with finding other employment opportunities as his prospects are becoming limited. Fortunately, his best friend Skye is willing to help him out as he tries to forge his new path. When he decides to start a business, Book Boyfriend Inc., his life changes as he meets Bailey fresh out of the gate. She is a magnet and Oliver is pulled to her and she to him. What started out as a casual encounter through his business has become something so much more. How will Skye react when she realizes the extent of the relationship between Oliver and Bailey? This is one book that will have any reader hooked from the beginning. Filled with love, steamy scenes, and drama Victoria Blue has written some alluring characters. Although at times I did not like Bailey, there was a twist that the reader will not see coming. I hope that there are future books in this series by this author and look forward to Skye getting her story.
I volunteered to read an arc of this book and it enjoyed it so much that I purchased a copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Misadventures with a book boyfriend, Yes Please
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on March 8, 2019

I have loved most of the misadventure books. This one was really good and the only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because I really didn't like Bailey and I wanted more book boyfriend dates.

What an awesome idea Oliver had with coming up with giving women what they want a date with their book boyfriend. I love the connection between Skye and Oliver. You can tell they have been best friends for a long time. I loved the ambition of Skye, going towards what she wants and my heart broke for her during a big part of the book. I can totally see why she didn't trust Bailey. I wouldn't have either.

Will Oliver and Skye be able to keep their strong friendship or will Bailey cause a drift so big they can't overcome it?

I hope we get another book with Skye because I want to see her get her happy ever after!
