Boyfriend material / by Hall, Alexis J.,author.;
"Wanted: One (fake) boyfriend Practically perfect in every way Luc O'Donnell is tangentially-and reluctantly-famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship ... and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened. But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don't ever want to let them go"--

Thank you, more please : a feminist guide to breaking dumb dating rules and finding love / by Womble, Lily,author.;
"High achieving women have figured out every aspect of their lives -- except how to find love on their terms. The truth is that the conversation about women and dating is still stuck in the dark ages. Lily Womble, former top matchmaker turned dating coach, has seen it all. Most single women she meets are exhausted and have been taught to believe that they want too much, are too much, and that they need to settle to find partnership. In Thank You, More Please, Lily shares her proven, feminist framework that has helped millions of women create epic, joyful-as-fuck love lives that center around their own agency, aliveness, and power. Lily shows women how to revolutionize the dating process by defining and understanding their own preferences, trusting their intuition, and asking for exactly what they want. With her step-by-step system, she takes readers from overwhelmed and burnt out, to a playful, unapologetically confident dating life. Thank You, More Please will teach you how to brag on your awesomeness, be more picky, and free yourself from patriarchal dating standards to not only to have more fun dating, but to meet the love of your life"--
