A Fake Relationship 

To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship…and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He’s a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he’s never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.

Description

A Fake Relationship to Lovers Romance

Boyfriend Material is a witty, romantic, and emotionally layered LGBTQ+ rom-com that follows the beloved fake-dating-to-real-love trope with a fresh and hilarious twist. The story centers on Luc O’Donnell, the son of famous (but long-divorced) rock stars, who has always lived somewhat in the public eye—though not always for the right reasons. After a string of unfortunate (and very public) mishaps, Luc’s image is suffering, and he needs a respectable boyfriend to fix his reputation and keep his job.

Enter Oliver Blackwood—a polished, well-mannered barrister (lawyer), and basically Luc’s opposite in every way. The two strike a deal to pretend to date each other. It’s supposed to be strictly fake: a mutually beneficial arrangement with no feelings involved. But as they spend more time together, it becomes harder to tell where the fake ends and the real begins.

The novel blends laugh-out-loud British humor with heartfelt emotional development. Alexis Hall brings sharp dialogue, awkward charm, and real vulnerability to both characters. As the relationship deepens, the book explores important themes like self-worth, trust, emotional baggage, public image, and queer identity, all without ever losing its humor or charm.

Boyfriend Material has been praised for its balance of comedy and heart, and for giving readers a deeply satisfying slow-burn romance between two complex, lovable characters. It’s a perfect read for fans of Casey McQuiston (Red, White & Royal Blue) or anyone who enjoys clever, character-driven romantic comedies.

The book is available in paperback, Kindle ebook, and as an Audible audiobook, with an engaging narration that enhances the witty tone of the story.
