Terribly Tristan (Bad Boyfriends, Inc. #3)

Now we're off working out way through the books that Sarah Honey wrote with Lisa Henry. This next series is Bad Boyfriends, Inc. The third novel is "Terribly Tristan."

["When it comes to dating, one and done has always been Tristan's rule—so what happens when once isn't enough?

Leo Fisher is a sensible guy, with a sensible life. He's the picture of respectability, just like his parents raised him to be. But when he inherits a crumbling terrace house in Newtown from his uncle, he also inherits a tenant who turns his world upside down. Tristan is brazen, gorgeous, experienced, and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. He's everything Leo is not—maybe that's why Leo is drawn to him. Leo has only ever made the right choices—the sensible choices, yet here he is, hooking up with his tenant—who happens to be a rent boy.

Tristan Montague is not a rent boy. Not exactly. He's a Bad Boyfriend. For a modest fee, he'll turn any date into the kind of disaster that will have his client's unsuspecting parents begging them to rethink their life choices. Boyfriending for cash is fun, but for real? No thanks. There are way too many flowers in the garden of life to settle on one single bloom. Tristan flits happily from lover to lover like a glorious gay butterfly, and he doesn't do repeats.

Except when he meets cute, awkward Leo, Tristan finds himself rethinking his 'no repeats' rule. Tristan's mission to show Leo that he, too, can be a glorious gay butterfly takes an unexpected turn when physical attraction develops into something more, and Tristan realizes he might not want to be a fake boyfriend anymore...he might want to be a real one?

But for Leo to take a stand against his overbearing parents, Tristan's going to have to be a Bad Boyfriend one last time—and it's going to have to be spectacular."]

Oh, Tristan. Of course your sassy, twinky, spectacular self gets saddled with true love when you spent the entire last book "mocking" your friends for it. You deserve it (both in the karma way and the love-that-for-you kinda way).

Also, love how all of these books have a meet-cringe (not a meet-cute, or even a meet-ugly, a meet-cringe).

And Tristan's fabulous and over-the-top self was utterly fucking perfect for awkward, slightly shy, very  unsure Leo. Fuuuuuuck, Leo. He deserves all of the drag queen hugs and cocoa and cuddles (and happily ever afters).
