Synopsis

Dear Graham,

After crossing too many lines for my self-respect, I made a promise to myself: no hookups for sixty days.

But I didn’t count on meeting you.

Who knew a smart, cardigan-wearing geek would be such temptation? You’re all wrong for me, except you’re also kind of exactly right.

So how do I keep my promise not to seduce the cute librarian and still get the perfect guy?

Maybe you know, because I don’t…

Already yours,

Ollie

Boyfriend Freeze is set in the Love Notes series but can be read as a standalone.

I love a reformed character story!

Boyfriend Freeze stands alone but we first met Ollie in Naughty & Nice, Love Notes book 2; he wasn’t a very nice character in that story. He wasn’t really a bad guy but he did a couple of things that weren’t too cool and I am so happy that DJ decided to write a story for him.

Ollie made a New Year’s resolution to change his promiscuous ways. Hookups have become very unsatisfactory and his rejection by his latest one was the straw that broke the camel’s back. He resolves to remain dateless and celibate for 60 days. So, what happens? He meets the guy who could be “the one;” the perfect guy for him.

I enjoyed Ollie’s snarky wit and how it rubbed off on Graham. I also like how Graham’s more settled and calmer persona helped Ollie but didn’t stifle his exuberance. This was a fairly quick read but I loved every minute of it.

It’s been a while since I listened to a book performed by Darcy Stark so I really enjoyed listening to him perform this story. I love his voice and way he seems to really get the characters. He made them seem pretty much how I imagined them when I first read this book a little over a year ago.
