Double Fake Boyfriend Goodness!

This was actually the first book I’ve read by Crystal Lacy and I enjoyed it very much. I love the fake boyfriend trope and this one is extra yummy because there is more than one fake relationship. It’s also pretty hot and Michael Ferraiuolo’s fantastic audio performance really made the story for me. He continues to be on my list of favorite narrators and I will buy books based solely on the fact that he performs them.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Fake Relationships That Aren’t So Fake

Brother-in-Law Material is a standalone contemporary romance that leans heavily on the fake/hidden relationship trope. At first glance, the plot is a little far fetched: Kendall starting a fake relationship with his sister’s fake boyfriend, but the way the author weaves together an entertaining story with fun and adorable characters makes it so easy to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the ride. The book is packed with fluff which I really liked such as the foodie vlog Kendall runs – it’s just too cute and entertaining. There is some angst, but it’s really short lived and easily overcome – perfect when all I wanted was fluff, romance, and all the sweetness. The audiobook was narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo, a master at his craft. He does a fantastic job with narrating the book and making it easy and fun to listen to.

Great spin on an old fav trope

Loved this,. The foodie aspect is fun & Kendall's energy, exuberance, & sweetness won me over right away. I loved the way things played out, though Luke had me wanting to Gibbs-smack him a few times! Really loved the way it worked out in the end,. Please say there's a follow-up story for Mizuki! He needs a good one.
The performance - excellent job as always from Michael Ferraiuolo! The character voicing, emotion, pacing, fun & playfulness, humor - all wonderful!

Beautiful narration!

This book is simply beautiful! The story even after what happened at the beginning was so happy, bubbling and sweet that I couldn't stop reading it until the very end, and Mr Ferraiuolo made an outstanding job getting the feeling of the characters and bringing them alive. I could even taste the wonderful food mentioned in the story! A cute and endearing love story and a perfect narration that complemented it. WOW!

Everything Is Not As It Has Appeared.

MM, My Sisters Boyfriend, Romance, Such a funny twist to the My Sisters Boyfriend theme. I laughed so much while listening to the book. Although there are angsty moments on the whole the story is light-hearted and fun with lots of steam. Narrated brilliantly by Michael Ferraiuolo. lots going on throughout the story.

Sweet romance with sister's best friend

Overall, this was an enjoyable romance to listen to. It's got a fake relationship, though not between the MCs, sister's best friend, roommate romance. A lot going on through the book but an easy listen with the wonderful Michael Ferraiuolo doing the narration. Luke is a lovely man, really kind and caring but doesn't want to give any hope to Kendall when they find they are equally attracted to each other and both single. His relationship and family history has him thinking that he would be no good for a partner. Kendall has a lot going on with breaking up with his partner when he's found cheating, staying with his sister's best friend and supposed boyfriend. He also has an ongoing vlog regarding food, which is extra entertaining with his extreme lack of cooking skills. Luke steps up to help there with great results and when Kendall is in need of support around his ex. Luke's kindness and Kendall's needs bring them back together over again and there's only so long they can stay away. There's a bit of angst as to the will they/won't they as Luke is determined that he isn't a permanent choice for anyone but especially Kendall.
I liked all of the characters involved in the story, Luke's cousin brought a bit of fun and jealousy into the mix. Scenes between the MC's range between extremely hot and heavy to fun and exasperation. There's a good balance between the two and I liked how things played out between the two men overall. I do think that Kendall could have stood up and supported Luke a little more than worrying about his ex and himself so much but it worked out for them eventually.
Michael, again, does a fantastic job of narration. There doesn't seem to be any trope that he can't cover and he draws me immediately into the story and endears the characters to me.

Luke and Kendall

When Kendall finds his boyfriend in bed with a neighbour he flees to his sisters place, Her boyfriend Luke let's him in, and allows him to stay. Little does he know that Luke and his sister are only best friends and never been anything but. Luke is pansexual and helps out by pretending that he is the new boyfriend at a work function. Only it doesn't stay pretend. Lovely story, perfect narration
