My Review:

Having read and loved previous books by the author before, I was eager to her latest release. Needless to say, French delivered a refreshing and page-turning romance full of steam and suspense. Boyfriend of the Hour will leave you swooning and rooting for the characters until the end!

As the youngest of the Zola siblings, Giovanna “Joni” Zola, is a twenty-four year old who is struggling with adulthood. Not only is she between jobs, but she is also running out of time to find a place to live. After living with her grandmother for most of her life, Joni has to prepare to say good bye to her grandmother as she moves to Italy. This leaves Joni on her own and is forced to do whatever it takes to make the money that she needs in order to survive on her own. But getting promoted at her job, from shot girl to bartender can only sustain her for so long and Joni decides to turn to plan B.

If she is going make a lot more than she does at her current job, it’s time to see a plastic surgeon. Little does she know that her surgeon would turn out to be one of her bar patrons. The mysterious and incredibly good looking Nathan Hunt is sitting across from her and suddenly things get really awkward. It’s his bluntness that make her angry at first, but it’s his proposal that truly shocks her. Pretending to be his girlfriend will not only give her a roof over her head, while teaching him to be more social should have been an easy task to achieve. Yet, there is so much to Nathan and the longer she gets to know him, the harder it becomes to not develop feelings for him.

As the heir to the Huntwell Corporation, Nathaniel “Nathan” Hunt has a lot of responsibilities when it comes to his family. He is expected to show up as the next in line to the massive empire, no matter how far he has moved away to start his own career as a plastic surgeon. It was a big event in his life that lead him to divert from following on his dad’s footsteps, and instead chose to become a plastic surgeon instead with the focus on reconstruction.

Leaving his home in Virginia to move to New York has been one of the best things in life. He has the freedom to do whatever he wants. But his parents are a few steps behind, always wanting to take that away from him. Meeting Joni changes everything, he is not used to reading people’s emotions and asking her to help him show his parents that is a capable of a social life is exactly what he needs. Nathan isn’t one to invite a stranger into his private life, but Joni is a breath of fresh air, one he can’t stop falling in love with. If only his parents can see what he sees in her, he realizes that that are going to be hurdles to overcome in order to get his happily-ever-after with her. 

I absolutely loved reading Boyfriend of the Hour, Nathan is the blunt hero that we all need. He means what he says and his protectiveness over Joni is swoon worthy. The chemistry between them is magnetic, they are able to understand each other like no one else can. It’s filled with romantic and steamy scenes with a bit of suspense to keep you at the edge of your seat. I loved the cameos that we got from characters in French’s other series. It made that book that much more enjoyable to read. Though there were a few details that I wish the author could have extended a bit more, I still think that the book was great and I would highly recommend checking it out. The book was refreshing to read and you will not regret it! :)
