Amazon Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills delivers an all-new,
enemies-to-lovers sports romance, a breathtaking tale of passion, heartbreak,
and love…
Skyscraper
cheekbones, lush lips, and magnetic topaz eyes.
I’m
talking about Eric Hansen.
Rich
prick.
Glorified
hockey star.
Thinks
he’s amazing.
The
Golden Boy and I are well acquainted. In prep school he trampled on my heart
then kept right on going.
Now,
he’s living the high life with frat parties and puck bunnies at Hawthorne
University. On the other hand, people barely notice me—unless I’m on stage
taking my clothes off. I’m the nobody, surviving in the seedy part of town as I
fight to keep my head above treacherous waters.
I’ve
snubbed him for three years.
The
avoidance game we’ve been playing was working—until he rescues me from a bad
guy and claims he wants to help me more.
Hello.
I don’t need a knight in shining armor. This girl saves herself.
Yet,
I’m not sure how long I can ignore the undeniable spark between us. (It’s not
even a spark; it’s a full-fledged, blazing fire.)
Can
this hockey player prove he’s boyfriend material, or will our past get in the
way?
This
steamy romance is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers or second-chances.
Boyfriend Material is a new adult college romance.
Reading Boyfriend Material prior to Boyfriend Bargain
is helpful but not necessary.
This was an adorable college sports romance - with some very sparky and sexy and adorable moments and some very serious and heartbreaking moments.
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Eric - this one is MINE! And the hockey-house pet is mine too!
ARC received for an honest review
The college-hockey-hottie-is-a-player is not new.
The "I'm not his type of girl" is not new.
The enemies to lovers is not new
Them falling for each other is not new.
However, Boyfriend Material drew me right in and I enjoyed every second of it.
There was more depth to Eric than I expected. There's spark and snark between them, and it was great to watch them learn more about each other, and fight each other's fights.
There are great secondary characters - though there is one in particular that needs a swift kick in the bits!
Cute, fun and flirty, with a dash of heartache thrown in for good measure, this was an enjoyable read.
