3rd re-read

I'm still so in love with this book🥰 Harley is my favourite among all of Eden's characters (Beck and Maddox being just right behind). That's probably why I don't feel like reading Hat Trick (Fake Boyfriend 5), as he'll surely not be pictured in a positive light. Ex-boyfriend status and all... I like Jet but I don't think I'm ready yet.

5 Rambo & Pop Star stars

I LOVED IT SO MUCH !

I fell in love with Eden Finley's work thanks to CU Hockey series - shout out to Saxon James too, they make magic together� - and Fake Boyfriend is already one of my favorite M/M series so far. So, diving into Famous series wasn't an option. It was a duty! And I'm so happy right now, I sound like a lunatic 😆

Before beginning, I was slightly apprehensive about the stardom element. Fortunately my doubts were quickly dispelled, as the story unfolded. The stalker plotline built a nice tension that came up when needed. It wasn't overwhelming, so we could concentrate on characters' development, but it put the right amount of pressure to make me tense up at the right time. Add a great pacing to the mix, and you have a winner!

The biggest point was still the characters. The MCs were adorable, each in his own way. Harley was so much more than his façade let out. He was burnt by love and had trouble trusting people, which wasn't very surprising considering his job. His days with Eleven had molded him into the persona he was on-stage and he thought no one could ever see the man behind the mask. But Brix did.
His character was AWESOME - I almost never use the word, but I don't know how to describe this badass of a man better. He was loyal and strong on the outside, but soft when it came to Harley. According to him, Brix was "a hot as fuck boyfriend who’s a big teddy bear on the inside.� *swoon* 🥰  Once again with Eden Finley, the banter was fantastic!

Ryder's story is the next in line and  SO curious, because I want to know where his daughter comes from. Well, not technically, you know what I mean 🤣

I actually do have one of those! 😆"

Mariam, the clown Omggg I started this last month but I was in a reading slump so I put this down but it was really good!! So glad to see you enjoyed this!!🤩🤩 I need to get back to this


Wendy Yes, go back to it!!! It was so good. I've just finished Book 2 and already going for Fandom. This series is 🥰


Megan [Semi-Hiatus] I need to go back to this! I was going to pick it up when I finished the fake boyfriend series but I was hesitant. Although my fav one in that series was Soren n Jet’s, Harley kind of annoyed me but I remember reading the sample and really liking it so I need to give it a chance. I especially want to read this before I read Finley’s newer book Iris since he appears for the first time in this.


Wendy @Megan I still haven't finished the Fake Boyfriend series. I got stuck in the middle of Book 3, but I need to pick it up again because Ollie is mentionned in Puckboys (a Eden and Saxon series) and I felt lost...
Harley IS kind of the annoying type to the world actually, but I loved how his inner sensibility came out through his POV chapters. Pop Star is full of amazing banter and chemistry. Plus Brix is a perfect counterweight for Harley💕 As for Iris, he's pretty funny in Pop Star and I liked his pairing in Iris, even if it didn't really hit the mark for me. I hope you'll enjoy both of them ^^
