Cover Reveal for The Boy Friend by Mika Jolie

The Boy Friend by Mika Jolie

Date of Publication: April 25, 2017

Blurb

According to the law of attraction, women and men can't be friends.
Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. We've been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut.
She's hilarious, fun to hang out with. Together, we're like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven.
She's the bomb.
Did I mention she's smokin' hot? I've checked her out…maybe once or twice. Hey, I'm a guy.
Seriously, no awkwardness, no secret yearning for our relationship to escalate beyond the purely platonic. I'm the boy friend—the loyal shoulder she cries on, the dispenser of coffee, sympathy, hugs, advice, and affection with no expectations.
Until the invisible line between friends and lovers became blurry.
Now I want more. I want her.
All I have to do is convince her we can be more than friends.
Right?
If only it were that easy.

Review

Mika is a new author for me, and I will read her again, no doubt. This book had me cracking up, it was witty, and fun, but at the core it had good heart.

I need to say that this is written from Dean's perspective. He is a player, but a player that is honest about being a player, a horn dog, a trouble maker, but he is also a devoted friend, through and through, and boy does he get what's coming to him. His best friend is Cori. She gives as good as she gets and keeps Dean on his toes.

This story was well written,the characters were rich and lively, and the author makes you feel as if you are there, and part of the story, not simply reading words on a page. There was heartbreak, deception, redemption, romance and a HEA. I admit, Dean was a douchebag and ticked me off through a lot of the book.

All in all, a fantastic book.
