The Boyfriend Experience
by Erika Wilde
2019
Eric Miller never signed up to be part of The Boyfriend Experience app, but curiosity keeps him from turning down Evie Bennett’s request for a fake boyfriend at her family reunion. Playing the perfect partner soon feels dangerously real, forcing them to face past heartbreak and what they truly want from love.
Series background & context
The Boyfriend Experience series page is really a home for one self-contained, co-written novel that spins a delicious premise into a full-length romance. The story imagines a discreet app where vetted men can be hired as temporary boyfriends, escorts in name only who play the role of charming partner at awkward social events.
Eric Miller is one of those reluctant “boyfriends.” A successful businessman, he is not exactly hurting for dates, and he is less than thrilled when a friend signs him up for the service without asking. Curiosity wins out when he sees Evie Bennett’s request in the queue, though. She needs someone to pose as her significant other at a family reunion so she does not have to explain yet another breakup, and her mix of vulnerability and sass gets under his skin immediately.
What starts as a straightforward fake-dating job quickly becomes personal. Spending a long weekend together means shared hotel rooms, private jokes, and the constant push-pull between keeping up appearances and acknowledging how real their attraction feels. Evie is determined not to mistake a temporary arrangement for lasting love, while Eric has his own reasons for keeping relationships casual, so the emotional stakes creep up on both of them.
Readers who have followed Wilde’s work will spot subtle ties to her Tall, Dark and Sexy universe, where the Boyfriend Experience app first comes up as a side idea. You do not have to know any of that, though, to enjoy this story. It works on its own as a feel-good, high-heat romance about two people who step into a pretend relationship and end up confronting what they really want from love, sex, and partnership.
If you like fake relationships that turn disarmingly real, forced proximity, and heroes who fall harder than they planned, this is a compact but satisfying stop in Erika Wilde’s wider world.
