Alexis Hall really, truly, can do no wrong when it comes to writing. My biggest complaints about this are that #1 while it is set in the world of Boyfriend Material, and has an extremely quick, unnamed reference to Luc (that reference is then referenced so I guess that makes 2 references?), it in fact has no Luc or Oliver and #2 the formatting on my digital ARC was absolute crap. Neither of those things made me like the book any less. It was legitimately laugh out loud funny. I will never not love a character who swears as much as I do. I will also never not love a grumpy/sunshine (or grumpy/slightly less grumpy but able to see a silver lining) romance. Jonathan is extra grumpy but there is at least a reason for it. When that grumpiness plays out next to his super hyper family it's even better. Also, his sweet moments are made even sweeter by virtue of his normal level grumpy. Sam is just...well funny. Sometimes (a lot of the time) he's stupid but it's still funny. The way he, and everyone else at the store, speak product names in their entirety EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. is brilliant and hilarious and makes me want to do the same thing only that doesn't really work because I work with books, and you already do that. As with any Alexis Hall book where one of the characters has an accent from some part of England other than London, I wasn't always 100% sure if the wording was weird due to regional dialect or if there were actual typos. But it wasn't enough of an issue to be a problem. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I'll forgive it since this is a series and I assume we will be getting more Sam and Jonathan in the future, which I am looking forward to.
