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

Summer and Oliver and their siblings have been friends since in their teens. And as they grew into adults Oliver remained best friends with both Summer and her twin, Logan. They are always there for each other when they need help or need a kick in the pants. Summer is sassy, sarcastic, sweet, and her dream is to open her own gym for seniors. But she is fiercely independent and determined to do it all on her own. So when an unexpected opportunity arises, she jumps on it…but she had no idea how it would send her life and friendship spiraling right into the twitter-verse. Oliver is an intelligent, realistic, attorney who likes to plan and be prepared at all times. He loves to taunt her and drive her crazy. But nothing could have prepared him for the chaos and speculation that was coming. Next thing they know, they are putting on an act to save face. It should not be too hard to fake it. Even if they might still have an inkling of crushes that they have ignored. And even if he ends up having something to prove. And even with the social media world watching and analyzing them. They seem to make a great couple, but is it all for the cameras? These two are good at self-protection and trying to make sure their friendship does not suffer. They cannot bear the thought of losing one another. But by holding back, could they lose something even more important? This is a delightful best-friends-to-lovers and fake fiancee\’ romance rolled into one. I loved these two together! Their banter is fun, their chemistry smolders, and it is obvious how well they know the other and how much they truly care. It has just enough conflict and angst, but is also fun, flirty, and sexy. Oliver is just so charming, cocky, and swoony. And Summer is just a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed their family and friends, Jason, Logan, Fitz, and Stella. They are such a dynamic group and I cannot wait for more hopefully with both Logan and Fitz.

What a fun read this was! Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend is just what I needed to get my summer reading off to the right start! Oliver and Summer have been friends since they were children. Along with Summer\’s twin, Logan, the three have always depended on each other and been there for each other in good times or bad. Oliver and Summer are still the best of friends as adults. Summer is a hard worker and a very independent woman. She has her heart set on opening up a gym catering to seniors, which she\’s trying to secure the funding for and while she has people in her life willing to loan her the money, this is something she really wants to do for herself. Oliver is a man who likes to always be prepared. He\’s an attorney, he\’s wicked smart and he\’s got the looks to go along with it to make the total package. He and Summer have such a great relationship and he is forever teasing her and bringing a smile to her face. There is a contest Summer can enter that would help her toward her monetary goal should she win. What she didn\’t expect is just by entering, she was going to be sending her life, and Oliver\’s, into a bit of a tailspin! To save face, they put on an act that they are a couple. As things unfold, they do a really good job of convincing people they are together. Is it really an act or something they just have either denied or not seen? Is it the classic case of wanting to protect their friendship? I enjoyed these two characters and their relationship. The fact that everything was centered around their friendship was great in my opinion. I always enjoy the friends-to-lovers trope and this was no exception. An all around fun read and one you should pick up!

There is just something about a Friends to Lovers story that gives you a heartwarming feeling. Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend is just that one. We meet Summer Clarke & Oliver Harris two people who have been friends for the last seventeen years, have been there for the other when they needed them to get out of a jam, to be there when the other had a life changing event but just been there when the other needed it. What the other didnt know is that there have always been that underlying connection that they always kept close to the heart but when circumstances put you in the situation that they may surface you cant help hope that they take the leap at let them come to out. This book is fun and will have you laughing out loud but you cant help having a soft spot for these two incredible characters.

Summer & Oliver have been friends forever. They have been there for each other through a lot. They\’ve faked a relationship before. He was her prom date. He\’s her brother\’s best friend. Summer decides to write a letter dedicated to him for a contest to try to win $5000 to help fund the gym she wants to open. She doesn\’t expect the letter to open the can of worms it does. The can of worms that leads to Oliver needing her to play his fiancee to save his reputation and his business. They find themselves realizing there is more between them than just friendship. Their \’romance\’ charms New York…or at least the Twitterverse that follow the contest that publishes her letter. Unfortunately, the course of true love ne\’er did run smooth. They even get themselves banned from the swan boats in Central Park. Funny, sweet, most definitely steamy. This friends to lovers story was a fantastic addition to Lauren\’s bookiverse. We see old friends and we get a glimpse of what\’s to come. I floved it! I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This book was super sweet, sexy and had the perfect balance of friendly banter and lust. It\’s a friends to Lovers story with a fake relationship troupe thrown in (or of n favourites). The dynamic between Summer and Oliver was amazing, they had great chemistry and fun banter, I was so into just experiencing them that I didn\’t realised the sexy stuff didn\’t happen until past halfway in the book. But when it did… Fireworks!! I also really liked that there were no crazy misunderstanding s or characters jumping to conclusions that lead to long unnecessary time apart for the main characters. Yes there were crossed wires, but they were resolved in a realistic way.
