The One Month Boyfriend

Wildwood Society Romance, Book 1

By: Roxie Noir

Narrated by: Scott Rose, Nara Austen

Fake dating my sworn enemy to make my ex so jealous he can't see straight? Worth it.

Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiancé needs to be taken down a notch.

So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple.

Even though Silas and I are polar opposites. Silas is a loud, cheerful, over the top showboat. He’s his hometown’s golden boy, the Marine who came back to rescue kittens from trees and walk old ladies across the street.

And me? I'm the awkward new girl who freezes up around strangers and can’t make small talk to save my life.

It shouldn’t work. We can barely have a conversation without arguing. There's no way we should be friends, let alone dating, except... Everyone believes it.

Especially my ex.

Now I'm having way too many real fantasies about the man who gets on my last nerve. My fake boyfriend is starting to feel a whole lot like a real one.

The kisses feel real.
The way he protects me feels real.
The night we spend together in a hotel bed feels very real.

This was supposed to be fake, but I think I might have fooled myself most of all.

The One Month Boyfriend is the first book in the Wildwood Society series, and can be listened to as a total standalone. It's for fans of high heat enemies-to-lovers romantic comedies, and features two enemies who fake date for revenge, a quirky, charming small town, a former military cinnamon roll hero, a grumpy heroine who's charmed despite herself, anxiety and PTSD representation, and plenty of steamy scenes. Of course, there's an HEA.

The One Month Boyfriend

The One Month Boyfriend is a funny book about Silas and Kat. Silas and Kat have a history so when they run into each other again, neither is happy to see the other again.

When both of them find themselves in a pickle, they decide to embark on a fake relationship.

As we get to know the characters, we realize there is more to both of them. Both of them have been through some things.

Can they help each other get through their troubles? Can they get this other person out of their lives for good? Will a fake relationship turn into something else?

I loved listening to this audiobook. The narrators were great. Silas and Kat had some great moments that had me laughing out loud.

Silas and Kat!

This is Silas and Kat's story. We got to know Silas from the Loveless brothers series. He's that crazy best friend that would take a special kind of woman to put up with him. Kat was a brilliant choice for him. Silas himself described her as teeth and claws at one point and it really does fit her. She's socially awkward, says things she probably shouldn't, and yet it made her exactly what Sila's needed. This was a couple that you never thought would fit together. They seemed more enemies than anything, but once they are forced to be together, it made them really take a look at each other and see more than the surface. I liked that.

A beautiful love story.

I adored these two characters and listening to the book was even better than reading it. The narrators were perfect and I can't recommend this book enough.

Enjoyable, believable, relatable

I enjoyed this story enough to read it twice (electronically then this audiobook). What made it work for me twice? Because the author made me believe in this romance, how two people with such a messed-up backstory (years before this story begins she was his college teacher and he failed her class) and serious personal issues (anxiety for her and PTSD for him) and strengths could be so good together. I believed in how they both could fall into a limited-term fake relationship. After all, she needed to one-up the ex-fiancé who treated her horribly and who had also been a jerk to him, and he needed to appear more stable in his law firm. The story balanced the dark and the light, both in their own personalities and in each other, but also in the story overall, all in a small-town setting filled with gossip and friendships. The friction between the characters and their eventual bond was convincing. Not only that, but despite the characters' difficulties the book is a fun read/listen and the narrators' distinctive (but not over-the-top) voices brought the story even more alive. Recommended!

OH YES

This kind of story is definitely my kryptonite. Believable broken people loving other broken people. The love story is also believable. The spice was wonderful. This is a new to me author and I will be reading more. This author was rock solid IMO. The narrators were perfect just perfect.
