This is a new to me author, and the blurb had me very curious.
This story was pretty much the world upside down for me.....

When Maddox felt like he couldn't break up with his high school girlfriend, he told her he was gay, just so he could escape her....and she wouldn't be too broken hearted.

Things pretty much blow up in his face though, when his ex informs the whole town of his gayness, before he even gets home. This includes his parents, who are really supportive of him being gay.

Now this would be a good time for Maddox to fess up...but he doesn't. He figures there will be plenty of time in the future, to set things straight (see what I did here) and he doesn't want to disappoint his parents by admitting, that he lied.
Fast forward 5 years, when Maddox suddenly bumps into his ex girlfriend at her bachelor party. Stupid man that he is, he tells her he has a boyfriend....so she invites the both of them to the wedding :P

And just like the first time around.....she makes sure everyone knows about him and his boyfriend....including his parents.
There is only one thing to do now..... confess to his parents !! NOOO....OF COURSE NOT !!

He goes out and finds himself a fake boyfriend. He knows his best friend's brother is gay and he makes a deal with the man....
Damon is not a big fan of straight men lying about being gay, but hey....at least he is getting something out of this sharade...
But what happens, when what was fake turns real....

Both men can't deny their attraction towards each other...but....Damon is pretty worried about being a straight man's experiment... Will Maddox be able to convince him, that his feelings are real...
I really enjoyed reading this story, even though I was a bit apprehensive at first. But just like Damon, I found out that there really were no cruel intentions in Maddox' lies. Was he an idiot ?? Well yes he was, but he wasn't an evil one :P
I will definitely keep an eye out for more books by this author.

Thanks so much Sharon ;) xoxo

Yeah I think you would enjoy it. It was pretty sweet and not too heavy on the angst. There is some push and pull with Damon being a bit wary. I was pissed at Maddox in the beginning for his lies, but I found out soon enough he was really a nice guy who made some stupid mistakes ;) xoxoxo

Thank you so much sweetie ;) xoxo

Sometimes that is all we need;-)
It's just tagged specifically as 'humor' --> 'funny', so it really got my hopes up, since it's rare that books are really funny:-)
But will definitely give this one a go, thanks W<3

Yeah I get what you mean. There are only a few books that I find really funny, but I am hard to please when it comes to humor I think. T.J. always makes me laugh though .. ;) xoxo Hope you will enjoy this one !!!

We are so on the same page, books that are tagged 'funny' are often a miss for me, though TJ is definitely always a hit;-)
Thanks Wendy, I'm pretty sure I will:-*
