The Boyfriend for Hire series just keeps getting better and better. Jared is such a sweet character and his desire to help often gets him into unusual situations while doing his job as a boyfriend for hire. When eleven-year-old Luka wants to hire him to be his dad’s boyfriend, Jared’s not sure what to do. After Jared meets Nate, Luka’s dad, he knows that he can’t say no to what Luka wants him to do.

Nate’s a single dad who has to juggle being a parent to Luka and running the bar that he owns. His now deceased wife used to help keep things in order but now everything is up to him to take care of. He really hasn’t taken time for himself in way too long. When he finds Jared with his missing son, he is shocked and wary. Once things are explained he then lets himself take a closer look at Jared and likes what he sees.

Jared and Nate don’t exactly strike sparks off of each other immediately but there is definitely an attraction between them. I love how caring Jared is towards Nate’s situation as a single dad and how he doesn’t talk down to Luka or make fun of him for wanting to hire a friend for his dad.

One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Nate, Luka and Jared are eating ice cream. Why? Because I do this to! 😊

With a sigh, Nate pressed down the ice cream as it melted. He raised his shoulders. He felt as if someone were watching him. He turned his head to find Jared grinning at him. “What?”
Jared stirred his spoon. “Always got told by my brothers I was weird for pretty much turning my ice cream into an extra thick milkshake any time we had it at home.”
Nate stared down at the creamy goop swirled in the bottom of his dish.

Jared is one of the sweetest MM stories I’ve read in a while. It proves that a book doesn’t always have to include a lot of hot and steamy sex to be a great read. I’m looking forward to reading Felix and Ethan’s story.

Excerpt 1
“Jared,” he opened a file on his desk. “One missing advent swan, a narrowly avoided foursome, a destroyed room, and that’s in less than three months. If it wasn’t for the positive feedback and the fact that all three of those bookings gave you glowing reviews, despite the issues—”
“Am I fired? I’m sorry, I didn’t know that the swan belonged to the hotel, otherwise when the girl from the table next to me started sobbing I wouldn’t have gotten involved and opened the gate to let it out.”
“No, you’re not fired, but Jared, you have to stop trying to make everything better for everyone, and open us up to situations that cost money or reputation. So, this next booking…”
“Is my last chance?” Jared finished and remained hopeful that Gideon wasn’t going to get rid of him.
“End of May we’ve just booked a graduation event for one of our new clients, she’s a CEO and won’t take any drama, tell me I’m not going to get a report that shit has hit any of the fans in the room you’re in.”
Jared held up a hand. “I solemnly swear.”
Gideon muttered something under his breath and then pressed the intercom. “Rowan, can you bring in the ZenTech Industries file?” There was static, and Gideon frowned at the machine as if it had personally hurt him. “Rowan?”
Just as Gideon stood to find his errant PA, Rowan’s voice came through loud and clear. “I’d love to come in babe…sir, but we have a slight issue.”

Excerpt 2
“Do you have any idea how worried I was? And Auntie Lee? What were you thinking? Lying? No lies, we don’t lie, ever.”
Luka’s bottom lip trembled. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
Nate held Luka’s face, tugged the beanie he was wearing down over his ears. His cheeks were flushed pink from the cool air and felt chilled against Nate’s warm palms. “What would I do if something happened to you? Hey?” He pulled Luka to him, appreciated the solid feel of him in his arms. “Promise me you won’t do anything like this ever again.”
There was a small hic as Luka nodded against him.
“What were you doing that was so important that you thought you had to lie about it?” He rested his hand on the top of Luka’s head, encouraging Luka to lean back.
Luka’s eyes were wet, his nose red. “It’s your birthday soon. I wanted to get you something.”
