These books are fairly standard romances with a heightened reality about financially secure, beautiful people finding love. Finding ways to provoke Tyler into letting down his guard, and thus release his emotions, allows Memphis the same freedom to deal with their horrible breakup and how they can be together again now that they have both grown up. Memphis (again, I say, “!”) is a stuntman/underwear model (that warrants another “!”) whose personal life (read: sexual identity) is under scrutiny in the press, a fact that amuses him until Tyler and his ex-wife are drawn into the fray. Thrown back together by Maguffiny plot machinations, they work their way through their old hurts and toward finding a new life together.
They both moved on with their lives, Tyler to a long-term but now over relationship with Alec, and Memphis to a marriage which has ended in divorce. Tyler and Memphis (!) were roommates in university who had a two-year relationship before Memphis walked away without a backward glance. They find their way and resolve everything in time for Alec’s ex-boyfriend Tyler to have his chance at lasting love. Alec has been busy trying to be the perfect son and Dylan has a painful past and issues of sexual identity to struggle with. The obstacles that Alec and Dylan face are their own baggage. Being a romance, the playing part soon takes on a different meaning, but the boyfriend part takes a bit longer as they move from fraud, to a one-night stand, to what is this we are doing exactly?, to a relationship.
A misunderstanding, and the lightning fast presence of a man in Tyler’s life, leads to a Boyfriend of Convenience plot with Dylan playing at being Alec’s new beau. He’s done all of the research and none of the riding which is why he ends up pushing the bike into Dylan’s garage. Opting against the more traditional tattoo or radical haircut, Alec responds to his break up with Tyler by going full-on midlife crisis and buying a vintage motorcycle. The Backup Boyfriend and The Boyfriend Mandate are the first two books in the Boyfriend Series by River Jaymes which also includes Brad’s Bachelor Party (see way below) and the upcoming novel The Boyfriend Makeover.
I found these contemporary romances through the magic of KindleUnlimited.
