Books Like Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall — 6 MM Fake-Dating & Grumpy-Sunshine Romances (2026)

Alexis Hall’s Boyfriend Material is the fake-dating comfort read: Luc, a walking PR disaster, and Oliver, the impossibly proper barrister who agrees to be his fake boyfriend to fix both their images. The grumpy-sunshine dynamic, the slow-burn banter, the “oh no, it’s real now” panic — it’s the exact recipe. If that’s your comfort zone, here are six Fractal Enigma MM romances that hit the same notes, with the heat turned up.

The Wedding Date Clause — Jace Wilder

For the uptight one who hires a fake boyfriend. Adrian Vale has spent his career proving that love is a contract people eventually break — Manhattan’s most feared divorce attorney does not do sentiment. So when his sister’s destination wedding threatens four solid days of family interrogation about his empty love life, he does what he does best: he finds a polished, discreet, entirely temporary solution named Luca Reyes. It is supposed to be a transaction. It does not stay one. Fake dating, escort/client, destination wedding, enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract, class difference, only one bed. Available at all major retailers. First chapter free →

Knot on My Watch — Jace Wilder

For the fake engagement that gets real. Rory Bell can save any wedding — except maybe this one, with a missing business partner, a blizzard, and a bride with four million followers. When his cabin floods, he ends up sharing a room, and then a very convenient fake engagement, with Leo, the gruff firefighter who owns the lodge. Fake engagement, snowed in, grumpy/sunshine, only one bed, firefighter, rescue dog, found family. Available at all major retailers. First chapter free →

The Best Man Needs Practice — Jace Wilder

For the “just practice” that absolutely is not just practice. Two hundred weddings have taught Abram Hollis exactly how eight days in Portugal are supposed to go: one gorgeous mistake, a flight home, no hard feelings. Then the groom makes him co-best man with his brother — the six-foot-five disaster who once asked Abram to teach him how to kiss a man, and somehow forgot to mention he already knew exactly which man he wanted. Bi-awakening, destination wedding, kissing lessons, only one bed, size difference, co-best-men. Available at all major retailers. First chapter free →

Daddy Issues, Incorporated — Jace Wilder

For the grumpy-sunshine. Theo Alvarez is excellent at fixing messes — celebrity disasters, startup disasters, his own finances, all handled with a mix of color-coded spreadsheets and sheer panic. What he cannot fix is Lucian Vale: the fifty-year-old founder of a company worth billions, a man of ice-cold control with exactly one weakness — being called “sir” by the assistant he absolutely should not want. Boss/assistant, grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, age gap, silver fox, praise kink, only one bed. Available at all major retailers. First chapter free →

Farmhand with Benefits — Jace Wilder

For the arrangement that turns real. Elliot Cross hasn’t slept in three days. He quit his six-figure law career, ghosted his cheating ex, and drove until the highway spit him out at a ranch so beat-up it should come with a warning label. The arrangement is simple: fix the rancher’s books, share the rancher’s bed. The rancher is not simple at all. City-boy-goes-country, arrangement, opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine, only one bed, found family. Available at all major retailers. First chapter free →

Spreadsheet Daddy & Coffee Boy — Jace Wilder

For Oliver’s exact buttoned-up energy. Garrett Cole doesn’t need people. He needs spreadsheets, black coffee, and the silence of an empty office at 10 p.m. As CFO he’s brilliant, exacting, and has chewed through three assistants in eleven months — a man who runs his entire life on control until a crisis, a mountain of deadlines, and one impossibly sunny temp make him want to hand a little of it over. Boss/employee, grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, competence kink, praise kink, he-falls-first. Free with Kindle Unlimited. First chapter free →
