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 enjoyed as a standalone. Join Leo and Dusty as they stumble toward their happily ever after!.… (mehr)

There's one beautiful thing about this book - it is that best friends Dusty and Leo play fake boyfriends, in the course of which they find out they've always been attracted to each - or probably more accurately, they like each other so much that it is a very small step, once they are acting in the role, to actually fall in love.

I haven't explained it very well, because this is more or less the essence of all books that follow this trope, but here, the two guys are such bros who have such comfort and joy in each others company, and have done so for 20 years. Their friendship is beautiful - they talk to each other everyday, Working together on the mayoral campaign requires Dusty to be in town and hang out in person. They dig each other, they get each other - together they have fun, which replaces stress with harmony - it's a magical connection.

It left me feeling that to really like someone and love their company, that IS love - the only thing required is the trigger of acting in the lovers' role for the parties to flip over the line into love. So I admit this part of the book did enchant me, otherwise I found the novel a bit corny. ( )

I wanted to like this book but it fell flat for me. It was too sweet and not held together by much more than a loose campaign and a general dislike of Rita. ( )
