Mr. Right Now by Isla Olsen
4.0
Sully and Drew weren't my favorite fake-boyfriends-turned-real, but their story was still a fun read. I think what threw me off the most was how casually Drew accepted his attraction to Sully. I know it's a bit of a stereotype for the assumed straight guy to have a big emotional crisis over liking a man, but I was expecting at least a little more confusion and self-reflection. I can appreciate the way his laid-back attitude resulted in tons of deliciously steamy moments, but it made him feel less real as a character to me. I'm torn, because on the one hand I really did like the way Sully and Drew complemented each other, but I also feel like their relationship moved unnaturally quickly, to the point where it was difficult to believe. I wish I'd gotten to see all the off-page moments where they shared their pasts and got to know each other, because I think it would have made me feel more connected to them. Putting that aside, I enjoyed the romance-centered storyline and the way Sully and Drew managed to soar past most of the obstacles in their path. As all couples do at some point, the two of them did take some time apart to evaluate if the relationship made sense for each of them, but not even those moments were particularly angsty and drawn out. All in all, this sweet, steamy story was an entertaining read, but not something I'll revisit again.
