Publisher's summary

The dreamiest player on the Moo U hockey team hangs a flyer on the bulletin board, and I am spellbound:

Rent a boyfriend for the holiday. For $25, I will be your Thanksgiving date. I will talk hockey with your dad. I will bring your mother flowers. I will be polite, and wear a nicely ironed shirt....

Now everyone knows it’s a bad idea to introduce your long-time crush to your messed-up family. But I really do need a date for Thanksgiving, even if I’m not willing to say why. So I tear his phone number off of that flyer...and accidentally entangle our star defenseman in a ruse that neither of us can easily unwind.

Because Weston's family is even nuttier than mine. He needs a date, too, for the most uncomfortable holiday engagement party ever thrown.

There will be hors d'oeuvre. There will be faked PDA. And there will be pro-level awkwardness…

Boyfriend is a full-length book for Weston and Abbi!

Best of the bunch

This was such a feel good sports romance where you get all the feels! My favorite of the entire series the book builds such amazing character depth it’s hard not to have your whole heart involved. This one unlike a few of the others in the series has a complete ending. I highly recommend and give a strong 5 stars!

I enjoyed this audible book

I got this book on a credit, and that was just fine, Jason Clarke is a favorite narrator of mine Emma Wilder is good too as Queen of sarcasm. I liked that this book did not have a ton of drama that was weird. There was a little bit around the two main characters when Abby decided to kick Weston to the curb. As usual, poor communication was the cause. Abby made a cake during the book which made me run out a by cake-making ingredients for the first time in 30 or more years. Probably more like 40 years. I prefer dark chocolate brownies. While the story is nothing earth shattering, I still enjoyed that the narrators seemed to get nearly equal billing, there wasn’t a lot of weird boy-child play, and Abby, for the most part, was very mature.

All my fake dating romance dreams come true!

All my fake dating romance dreams come true! This book and narration was just the boost I needed, I smiled and laughed so much. When Abbi answers Weston’s rent a boyfriend ad, she definitely wasn’t expecting more than a one time thing or that he’d even answer her text. So while Weston seemed like an unattainable top hockey hottie on campus it turned out he was a down to earth guy just looking for a home cooked meal for the holidays. But Weston’s charms went well beyond fake boyfriend status, he and Abbi had off the charts chemistry and one day together was not going to be enough. ⁣

These two were a perfect match and were the ideal buffer for all the family drama the holidays can entail. I was cracking up over their Christmas night act to fool Westin’s brother they were dating for real, nothing like faking some bed creaking and exaggerated moans! There were definitely some heavier subjects woven into the story and gave the opportunity for Abbi and Weston to grow closer together. Weston’s protective side had me swooning and watching him realize his commitment phobia meant he would miss out on an amazing woman like Abbi was so satisfying. Abbi deserved all the love in the world and I loved her strength to take control of her life and achieve her dreams.⁣ If you are looking for something fun, flirty and definitely sexy, check out this audiobook!⁣ 5 stars for me!⁣

As for the narration, Jason and Emma were just perfection for this story! Jason gave off all the hot hockey guys vibes but also the vulnerability of a guy falling for a captivating woman. Emma’s narration brought strength and laughter to Abbi’s character, a versatile voice that I love listening to!

Really, really good!!!

This is the perfect audiobook for when you want a great story that isn’t completely predictable.

It isn’t too heavy or dark - it’s just right and a relaxing listening experience.

Just the right amount of humor and heat

Fake relationships are my JAM and I was so excited to see that Sarina Bowen's addition to the Moo U series (which I have LOVED!) included that trope. I just love seeing characters slowly discover that their person is just right there in front of them. Weston is downright dreamy and a gentleman to boot. From the moment I read his flyer I was smitten: "Rent a boyfriend for the holiday. For $25, I will be your Thanksgiving date. I will talk hockey with your dad. I will bring your mother flowers. I will be polite, and wear a nicely ironed shirt." Swoon! I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed hearing two of my favorite narrators (Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder) bring the characters to life- it was simply fantastic. Boyfriend made me smile, laugh, and sigh dreamily- it was just such a fun story filled with just the right amount of humor and heat.

Another Sarina Win

This book was the lovely breath of fresh air that I’ve been needing. There is nothing like a Sarina Bowen book to put a smile on your face. This book was so swoony and adorable with not to much angst. It made me want to wear flannel and celebrate the holidays with my family who don’t seem as crazy anymore after reading about Abbi and Weston’s families. Weston was a huge win as a hero. He was such a sweet heart and I hope I find someone like him in my life. The audiobook was great, the narrators really brought the characters to life. I would definitely recommend it!

Yes! Yes! Yes! A must read in the Moo U series!

I love all the Moo U Series, every last one of them but Sarina Bowen’s stories in this series are my favorite!!!. This one kept me smiling for most of the book. I love that the characters became friends first before they took their relationship to the next level even though there was a huge attraction.

Read it! You won’t regret it.

Loved these two

I had read the first part of this in the anthology and was so excited to get more of Abby and Weston. They are just adorable. I am so happy that we got a full story for them because they deserved it. Weston was a "player" in all sense of the word, (yes I hate that but I looked past this because it wasn't shoved in my face here) and he has a mess of a family and he isn't interested in any sort of relationship. Abby is alone in the world and she just needed someone to help her out as a fake boyfriend for Thanksgiving. When things begin to seem like they aren't so fake anymore and feelings start to get real, will Weston turn and run or admit that love is real? The chemistry between these two gave me butterflies and that is all I look for in a book.
