Review: The Boyfriend Project

Thank you Forever Romance for my gifted copy of The Boyfriend Project! Out now! 

I am a sucker for a strong STEM heroine, great friendships, and a hottie cinnamon roll hero, and guess what?? The Boyfriend Project has all of those! Along with a little mystery! I enjoyed this story so so much!

Oh man, the first chapter is SO GOOD! Samiah meets her soon to be friends by discovering theyโ€™re all dating the same catfishing jerk. This scene was such a great way to introduce all three of their characters and the book just gets better from there. 

Samiah is a really devoted computer programmer and an app developer. I loved that Samiah discusses how hard it is to not only be a woman in tech, but a Black woman in tech. Even though Daniel is biracial, thereโ€™s a scene with the two of them discussing what it was like for Samiah to grow up wanting to be a computer programmer and the discrimination she faced. I loved that scene, it was one of the many moments in the book where Daniel really listened to her as she shared her experiences. 

Daniel is a really great character too, thereโ€™s a bit of a twist with his role in the story but I loved it! It created a bit of mystery to the plot that made the story even more engaging. But the scenes with Daniel and Samiah together were total catnip ๐Ÿ˜ their chemistry was great and I loved watching their relationship evolve from co-workers to more. Everyone knows I love some steamy scenes ๐Ÿ”ฅ I would call this book low-steam, but I loved the story so much I didnโ€™t mind ๐Ÿ˜‚

I adored London and Taylor and cannot wait for each of their books! This is such a great start to this series! The Boyfriend Project was a five star read for me ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Highly recommend! ๐Ÿ’œ Kellisa
