To win this election, I should be trying to kiss babies, not my best friend!
My chances of reelection have gone from slam dunk to nose dive.
What happened? A former hookup sold me out to the press, complete with screenshots. In my defense, between being mayor and parenting twins (double the puberty!), I have zero room for relationships that go beyond one night.
My campaign manager says I need to change the narrative, aka get a boyfriend ASAP to make me seem more (ugh) likeable. The only person I trust with this ruse is my charming best friend Dusty.
Despite living 3,000 miles apart, thanks to endless text chains and 2 a.m. phone calls, we’ve been the constant in each other’s lives, navigating through single dad fails (me) and breakups with cruel ex-girlfriends (all him).
Each day we spend as fake boyfriends feels more real, which is odd because Dusty is straight.
And yet our playful banter is shifting from friendly to flirty.
And he doesn’t stop holding my hand when the crowds leave.
And was he always this attractive?
With reporters sniffing for the truth, exploring these feelings could mean the implosion of my political career and our friendship.
The Mayor and the Mystery Man is book 2 in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone. Join Leo and Dusty as they stumble toward their happily ever after!
Review by Twinsie Tenise
When a scandal comes out that could end up ruining Leo’s chance at reelection, they’ve got to come up with a plan quickly if there’s any chance of saving this thing.
The plan: Be fake boyfriends with his straight best friend Rusty to see if it could help his approval ratings.
What could possibly go wrong?
Let me tell ya, there’s a list!
Grrrr!!! These 2 frustrated me so much but I enjoyed every minute of it. Leo and Rusty were absolutely perfect for one another. I feel like EVERYONE knew this except for these 2 oblivios knuckleheads who have apparently been living in lala land for the past 2+ decades. I was a nervous wreck as I read hoping they would come to their senses before
A- More scandals are leaked, possibly worse than the first one that landed them in this predicament in the first place.
or
B- This fake relationship ended up ruining an over 20 year friendship.
I’m obsessed with this series and all of the single dads. Mitch is next! I’ve been looking forward to his story. I’m excited to see how it plays out. If anyone needs me. DON’T! I will be on the couch ignoring reality because right now, this series is way more important.
