The 21-Day Boyfriend by A.S. KellyMy rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
📘Book Info
Eric O’Shea needs to make a decision. The annual event his family forces him to attend is just around the corner, and he doesn’t have a date.
Eric never needs help when it comes to finding men. But this time is different – his ex and his new boyfriend will be there, and Eric can’t just bring along one of his usual flings.
His only hope seems to be him: the best friend of his best friend, who he never wanted to meet.
Sean Quinn is a calm, collected, and cultured man; someone who would rather stay at home and read a book than waste his time chasing a date with no future.
Sean isn’t in a rush to find the perfect man, and he certainly doesn’t intend to go out with Eric: his best friend’s other best friend, who he’s avoided meeting for years.
But Sean has a flaw: he can’t say no to anyone, especially not when it comes to his friend Jake, who has a habit of worming his way into other people’s lives.
But it’s just one date, after all: pure fiction. It’s a shame, then, that when Eric needs Sean for another favour, he can’t turn his back. It’s a shame that just when Sean is beginning to understand that Eric isn’t what he seems, he can’t seem to stop before he gets hurt.
Twenty-one days: that’s the agreement.
Twenty-one days of grazing hands, furtive glances, and unexpected kisses.
Twenty-one days where anything goes; except falling in love.

💭Our Thoughts
Oh the challenges of pretending you are over him
That you have moved on
That you are in a better place
Oh and the consequences
Eric wasn't about to show up and look like he was still pinning for his ex, he might have been but that wasn't what was important
Enter his BFF Jake who knows a guy that he thinks would be perfect for the charade
Sean
Sean is a yes-man
He can't say no
See where this is headed?
This was a lot of fun.
There were so many great characters and the secondary ones were just as impressive
Loved Grama! Loved Sis!
Loathed the ladder climbing ex
Felt that Mom and Dad needed to get their heads examined
Jake was the BFF everyone should have despite his own life choices (kind of a secondary storyline )
Sean and Eric started out pretty rough.
I admit there were a few times I would have given Eric a bit of a shove after I slowed to 40. It became apparent later it was his defense mechanism, just like Sean's inability to say no. These two danced around their own feelings under the guise it was all to sell the lie. It was a lot of fun to watch
This had laughs. Angst. Personal Growth. Smexy, lots of smexy. Friendship all wrapped in a solid storyline
I highly recommend it for as a winter fire night read - all the warm fuzzies
