Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend (The Guys Who Got Away, #1)

by Lauren Blakely

Let me just say -- none of this was supposed to happen.
I didn't expect the letter to go viral. I didn't think anyone would figure out who Dear Sexy Ex was. And I especially never thought he would find out about it.
Yeah, bit of a miscalculation there.
But see, I need the money to fund my brand new venture. And Dear Sexy Ex, well, it turns out he needs me to save his business.
By becoming his fake fiancée.
Yup, that's the pickle I find myself in -- pretending to be madly in love with the charming, brilliant, and utterly infuriating man known as Dear Sexy Ex.
Only, it's not an act. And he can never know.

Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend is a standalone romance you can escape into! The other standalone romances in The Guys Who Got Away series include The What If Guy and Thanks For Last Night!

From friends to lovers...

I'm not saying it's always the case, but I do believe that being friends before lovers is a good way to go. In Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend, Oliver and Summer have been friends since they were kids and consider each other best friends. They know each other well, have been there through thick and thin, and bale each other out when they're in trouble. There has also been a time or two where they have been each others 'plus one'.

When Summer accidentally brings Oliver and their relationship into the spotlight, a fake relationship is the only way to get him out of hot water with a client. What was supposed to be an easy arrangement, soon becomes a lot more and their lips keep getting stuck together...AND THEY LIKE IT!

I am such a fan of Lauren Blakely's style of writing. It's just so easy to get sucked in, they're fairly short, and I ALWAYS finish with a big goofy smile on my face. Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend did not disappoint.

I loved Oliver and Summer together and didn't mind that they took years to work out their feelings were more than friendship. Oliver had a lot of growing up to do and also get past his fear of losing someone he loves. Summer needed to feel confident that she could still have a career and be in love.

Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend was funny, sweet and really sexy. If you haven't read a Lauren Blakely story, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
