Boyfriend is part of the Moo U series, set in Sarina Bowen’s World of True North. It was originally released as a novella introducing the Moo U hockey players in the series, but is now a complete standalone novel. And that’s the best thing that happened in 2021, because it is glorious.
It is a rent-a-boyfriend/fake relationship that evolves into a friends to lovers and friends with benefits love story. And the cherry on top? Only one bed. And it is that seamless transition between tropes that makes this story so great and unputdownable. It just flows so naturally.
Weston and Abbi are great together. Their chemistry is incendiary, their banter is hilarious and good-natured. There’s so much attraction and longing. And heat! So much heat! It’s simply perfection.
Weston is such a great guy. He’s adorable and sweet and hot. He’s swoony. And his inner monologue is hilarious. He’s just not boyfriend material. Or so he thinks. His parents’ divorce did a number on him, so he’s definitely against commitment.
Abbi hasn’t had an easy life. She’s smart and funny, extremely dedicated, and so strong. She’s determined to graduate college a year early and be independent. Her family situation is not a good one, so she’s mostly on her own.
The way Abbi and Weston start their fake relationship is so funny and well done. And the way they connect is even more so. You can feel the longing and the chemistry between them from the very beginning. It’s sweet and heartwarming. The way their relationship evolves is so flawlessly developed that it feels natural and you can’t help but root for them. But it’s not only the attraction that grows stronger between them, but all the feelings. You can see how they get to know each other, how they slowly expose their hidden vulnerabilities to each other, and how their feelings start to change.
Boyfriend is such a great story. It’s beautifully written, and perfectly paced. There’s lots of Vermonty and hockey details that make it shine, and all the feels that make it an emotional and lighthearted read. I loved everything about it and I highly recommend it.

#WestonIsMine
Boyfriend by Sarina Bowen started as a novella and I was the happiest bookworm when I found out it was being turned in to a full length standalone novel! Seriously- The HAPPIEST!Weston is everything. He is funny and easy going and protective and likable and and…you get the point. That says like-able by the way. Not lick-able. Autocorrect says that’s how you spell it but it looks weird so I thought I would clarify that although you will probably think Weston is lick-able, I was in fact saying that he is like-able. Get your mind out of the gutter!Gail, I mean Abbi, (that’s an inside joke. You’ll have to read it to find out why that’s funny) was brave and determined and hard working and alone in the world. What starts as a fake date arrangement turns into more. These two are so cute together. I love their singing and how they lean on each other so easily.This book is hands down a highlight of 2021.#WestonIsMine #ICalledIt #AskSarina
