Operation Boyfriend: An addictive MM fake dating romance (Devon Memorial)

Another triumph for Zarah Detand. I've enjoyed all of her books and this one is no different in that regard. The fake boyfriend trope is a departure from her usual books but she delivers a heartfelt story that makes your insides all gooey. Highly recommend!

A really low angst romp featuring lovable and fully developed characters. The outcome was clear from the first pages. I would’ve given it five stars if it had a touch more bite to the plot. Sarah is developing into a very evocative writer and it was a pleasure to read her descriptions. It’s a fun read that left a huge smile on my face.

Thank you to Storm Publishing, Dreamscape Select, and author Zarah Detand, for providing me with the eARC and ALC of “Operation Boyfriend”. If you know me, you know I cannot resist a fake dating trope. Mix that in with MM romance and you’ve got a hit! I enjoyed immersive reading this one. If you have the chance that’s the way to go. I see a lot of myself in Dean. He’s “cold” at work, not because he thinks that’s how he should act but because that’s how he gets through his day and his job as a surgeon. So while he may seem grumpy he’s really a teddy bear for the right people. And those people truly do mean a lot to him. And yes he is a bit slow on his emotions but we all get scared to make the jump at times. Taylin was a fun surprise! While he is outgoing and hardworking. He also has a lot of doubt and fear, and that is so perfectly portrayed. We all have those moments where we question what we are doing. He thankfully had some good people to help him realize how great he is. And let’s be so real, no one is going to turn down a free beach vacation! And the spice!! So good, I loved the getting the lead up to vacation and then the set up. Perfect setting, perfect amount of attraction and spice.
