Mr. Right Now by Isla Olsen
4.0
I love a good fake boyfriend story and a good gay awakening story and Mr. Right Now was a great combination of both tropes.
Sullivan is a confident, successful man who has a penchant for choosing the wrong guy. After breaking up with his last boyfriend, he has to find a date for his sister’s wedding to take his place. Enter Drew, Sullivan’s brother’s roommate who just so happens to have the same name as Sullivan’s ex. But he’s straight. Drew is a business owner and a mechanic who is a little less than confident in his own skin and is intimidated by Sully’s wealth. While at the wedding, their fake relationship starts to feel a lot less fake and brings them together in a way neither of them expected.
Sully and Drew together were on fire - their chemistry was so hot and the steam was turned up high. I loved how patient, understanding and caring Sully was with Drew at each new step in their relationship. There could have been a lot of uncertainty and uncomfortable moments for Drew, but Sully helped to make everything feel natural. I really liked reading how they interacted with each other and how sweet they were to each other. They genuinely enjoyed each other’s company and seeing how they relaxed when they were together was so perfect.
So much of this story was feel-good and fluffy that the miscommunications and things that tore them apart felt a little too fabricated. I don’t think this book needed something to force them apart for them to realize they still belonged together.
I’ve really enjoyed the first two books in this Suits & Sevens series and can’t wait to see who is going to fall in love next - all of the side characters on the rugby team are so interesting so I’m sure their stories will pull me in. Looking forward to the next one...fingers crossed for Deacon!
