I really needed this !!
I absolutely loved it
First the dogs so adorable and made my heart melt
This was such a fun happy adorable read Adam and Laney are so prefect for each other
I loved it so much I can’t put into words how amazing it was
I cried I laughed I just loved it I read it in one sitting staying up late as I couldn’t put it down
Was so happy with the ending
Love it love it love it

Laney is funny, smart and pretty, To Adam, former boyband member, the best thing is that she has no idea he was a major pop star. His other members want to recruit him for a one time reunion concert for a charity and he's tempted to say yes...

Love boyband stories! Laney is terrific and Adam is definitely not your average boyband member. Fun story and very romantic.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Thank you NetGalley & Jenny Proctor Creative for allowing me access to this e-book! Once Upon a Boyband by Jenny Proctor will be released on Sep 1st. It's a heartwarming and charming romcom that deals with second chances and self-discovery.
Adam Driscoll, the former boyband star turned recluse, is an endearing hero whose journey back into the spotlight is both touching and relatable. The chemistry between Adam and Laney, the unsuspecting vet, crackles with tension and sweetness, making their slow-burn romance all the more satisfying.
I really appreciated how easy it was to read, I liked the humor and the touch of nostalgia!

I don't know how to describe it
But this was amazing. I literally felt like a fly on the wall ( figuratively speaking of course) to this love story. They were so great together. The chemistry, the genuine love for music from both characters and their vibe was just amazing.


I just finished this and it was so great. 10/10 would read again just because I can. Can't wait to see what you do with the other band members.

El libro es tranquilo, de puertas cerradas y podría verse como lento, entonces si no disfrutas de esto recomiendo que busques otra lectura.

Lo que me encanta de Jenny es que no necesita escribir escenas sexuales (como está de moda ahora) para que su libro sea entretenido.


Laney es una ex midnighter que vivirá el sueño de cualquier fangirl: ser novia de su artista favorito.

Al principio me preguntaba como era posible que no se dieran cuenta que Adam era Deke pero luego se explicó su cambio de apariencia de la pubertad a la adultez, como se veía muy joven a los 18, que su barba y cabello largo le tapaban la cara y que ganó músculo.






Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Once Upon A Boy Band: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Growing up Laney was obsessed with a band, Midnight Rush, specifically Deke. Now as an adult she works as a vet in her dad’s clinic, and still listens to Midnight Rush, never dreaming she would ever meet her teenage crush. Adam turned away from his band, Midnight Rush, and his old stage name, Deke, and settled in to his dog rescue in a small town, and has a crush on his vet Laney Lawson. When he finally works up the courage, with some help from cute puppies and her talkative friend, and vet tech, Petey, to ask her out, it’s everything he ever dreamed. Then out of the blue his old band mates reach out for a reunion tour but Adam isn’t sure he wants to go back into the spotlight. Will he allow himself to be happy with Laney and let himself enjoy singing with his old band, or will he let the hurt from his past hold him back from his future happiness?

This book had me giggling non stop. The chemistry between Adam and Laney is fire, their banter fantastic. I also enjoyed how Laney gives Adam his space when he needs it, but also doesn’t give up on him. Reading this book gave me a greater appreciation for all celebrities, and how rough it can be to get recognized everywhere they go. I absolutely loved Adam’s dog naming convention, it is the absolute cutest thing. And the ending, regarding his mom, ugh I completely ugly cried. You absolutely also need to read the extended epilogue, it is just the cutest thing ever. I give this book all the stars!!

Yet another amazing story from Jenny Proctor, who has perfected the sweet, funny, steamy (but not spicy) romcom. She is 100% an auto buy for me, and always brings relatable characters and realistic conflict to the table (even if those characters are boy band members or movie stars).

Once Upon a Boy Band give us Adam, a dog rescue owner with a past he wants to leave behind and Laney, a small town vet who never would’ve imagined her high school obsession could come full circle, and some big ways. In spite how that sounded, this is absolutely a romcom.

Small thing to call out, but this seems unique to me and I loved it. Both of our leads are introverts, and while they do have to function in an extrovert’s world, they don’t have to change who they are in order to make things work.

-small town
-secret identity
-kind of black cat/black cat
-music as a love language

I literally read this in a day because I couldn’t put it down.

As a big fan of both Jenny Proctor AND boybands, I have been very much looking forward to reading this one... and it absolutely did not disappoint! I absolutely adored Adam and Laney together! Again, being a boyband fan, I couldn't help but imagine how it would feel to be in Laney's shoes--- discovering the man that you've started to fall for... is actually your teenage celebrity crush! And let's just say it wasn't a small crush! That led to some really fun moments that had me laughing out loud. Their chemistry was absolutely fantastic and those kisses... oh, so good! I couldn't help but absolutely fall in love with these two. Not only was their story humorous and fun, but it was also really tender too. Grief and the loss of Adam's mother is a big topic in the book, and there were definitely some moments that had me reaching for the tissues... it was the perfect blend of humor and emotion, and I loved every moment of it. Though I can't elaborate without spoilers, there's a discovery made later in the story that absolutely hit me with ALL the feels and I absolutely LOVED it. As a Jenny Proctor fan, I really enjoyed seeing some familiar characters from previous series make appearances too (though you don't have to have read any others to enjoy this one!)

Once Upon a Boyband is a closed-door romance with kisses only and some minor language.

If ever there was a book for me it was this one about a former boyband member incognito! What more could I ask for?! Thank you NetGalley for the arc!
