"Funny, romantic and full of fiery chemistry ... This was amazing!" -Bookgasms Book Blog 

I’m the guy you call when you need to impress your overbearing family, your boss, or your ex. Yeah, I’m a male escort, but not just any escort, I’m the escort. The one with a mile-long waiting list and a pristine reputation that’s very well-deserved.

I’m the guy who’ll make you feel beautiful, desired, and worshipped . . . all for a steep price. I’m hired to make you shine, and I always deliver.

I’ll be whatever you want me to be for one night—except my true self. This is just a job, a role I play to earn a paycheck.

But I’m not the guy who falls for a client. Not once in six years.

And then I meet Elle. Her friend has hired me to escort her to a wedding, but Elle doesn’t know we’re just pretending.

There’s a fire between us I never expected. A connection I haven’t felt in so long. One kiss, and I’m losing all control.

But what will happen when she finds out who I really am?

3.0 out of 5 stars An adorable, steamy read!
Reviewed in Australia on 7 April 2019
Elle has recently broken up with her brother’s best friend and the boy she was crushing on for years. Her undying love for him resulted in her ignoring how belittling and rude he was to her during their relationship. Elle’s future sister-in-law, Christine, decides to hire a male escort to entertain Elle during her wedding and make sure she isn’t insecure about being alone while her ex has a new girlfriend.

When Elle and Nic meet, there’s an instant attraction. They’re laughing and charming each other the first night they meet, and Elle wants more. Nic has a personal rule that he doesn’t kiss clients so when he does, it’s with someone special. Except, it’s hard for him to settle down when he entertains other women for a living. However, he might just break the rules for Elle.

Don’t be deceived by the 3 star rating, I highly enjoyed this. It just felt like it needed a bit more editing and further development. There were a few lines and phrases used that I found awkward and disjointed. It was dialogue where I couldn’t imagine an actual human being saying this aloud. Also, I never felt like we got to completely get to know Elle and Nic as characters. We’re given a brief look into their interests and dream jobs, but not much of their backstory or qualities. Otherwise, Kendall Ryan’s writing is easy to read and fun as always. The book flew by within a few hours since she keeps you hooked and everything progresses quickly.

Ella and Nic were adorable. That’s an understatement. I was apprehensive about Nic since he’s a male escort and discussed having sex with other women at the beginning, but he was perfect in the end. He was attentive and sweet with Elle, even if he made the minor mistake here and there. This is in reference to the ignoring he does instead of having a genuine, adult conversation with her. In addition, I loved how much of a hopeless romantic he was. He’s a male escort, but he’s saving certain experiences for when he finds the one. Which happens to be Elle. I did have an issue with how quickly they fell in love, which felt like it happened in a matter of weeks. However, the ending was too cute for me to complain that much.

Boyfriend for Hire was a lot less steamy than Ryan’s other books, but I had no complaints. I found the couple and their undeniable chemistry interesting enough for me to continue. Though I do know some people pick these kinds of books up for that purpose, so this is a warning.

I love that Ryan is striving to include more diversity in her novels finally. Elle is a curvy main character and has some insecurities about her body because of her ex. Though I don’t believe romance and someone saying curves are sexy can cure body image, it was an admirable thing to see in a novel. There’s nothing wrong with feeling proud of your curves after someone affirms that they adore them. It was simple and brief diversity, but I liked it.

Boyfriend for Hire is an adorable standalone with a unique plot that’ll have you swooning over Nic. It’s definitely something you’ve never read before. I’d recommend to those looking for a hopeless romantic male character or a quick, cute story. I’ll definitely be picking up the spin-off sequel to see the outcome of Case’s story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book!
Reviewed in Australia on 19 February 2019
Ryan takes the cake for fabulous rom-com stories and easy light reading. This story will put your faith back in love and give you the confidence boost every woman needs.

When Elle is dumped just weeks out from her brother’s wedding, the bride (BFF) decides the best way for her new sister in law to enjoy herself while facing the ex and his new girlfriend is to find a male escort; without her knowledge. This should be an easy job for Nic has been a escort for years but when sparks start to fly all his rules go out the window. Falling for the girl wasn’t part of the plan, neither was her finding out from someone else about his occupation. Elle has a choice to make, take a chance and forgive Nic or cut her losses.

I personally really enjoyed this story, it was charming and very well written; Ryan did not disappoint with this one. Sitting down and reading this story in 1 sitting says it all, I just couldn’t put it down and all adulting was put on hold until I read the last line. I am looking forward to Case’s story next in The Hookup Handbook, please don’t make me wait too long!

Reviewed in Australia on 19 February 2019
When Elle agrees to let her friend and soon to be sister-in-law set up her with a date for the wedding, she doesn't expect Nic. He's charming, sweet, thoughtful, and thinks she's beautiful. She's smitten, but there's one thing about Nic she doesn't know...

... he's an escort. While everything he tells her is true - he does think she's beautiful - he's doing a job. He's been an escort for six years, the lure of the money he makes too much to walk away. He has rules about what he will and won't do with clients, but he's never had a client like Elle. She makes him want to throw away his rule book and walk away from his lucrative job. He's always known he wants the dream life - wife, kids, dog, picket fence - but he never thought he'd fall for a client.

He was wrong. And when he realises that, Nic's torn. He has to tell Elle who he really is, but he knows that if she finds out he's an escort, it's all over before it began. But he can't help it; he's drawn to Elle like a moth to a flame and she's tearing his defences down. She's making him want to forget the rules he set and the reasons why. Can he convince her she's not just a job to him?

I loved the characters of Nic and Elle. Nic is the perfect book boyfriend; I mean, the man even cooks! I adored that he loved Elle's curves, that he didn't care she wasn't a stick. I loved Elle wanting to go get her man. Another winner from one of my favourite romance authors.

Writing irritated me, was not a fan of the heroine, or the hero for that matter. This would have probably impressed me when I was 14, but now, I have read better and don't like to trudge through something because it might turn out to be good past 70% into the story.

An interesting story. Kind of funny how some of the reviews are all about how it is unrealistic to think any woman would want to be with a man who was in Nic's line of work. In a society where there are people in "open relationships" it is very interesting. I loved this story! The characters were very believable, the story has good flow, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great read.

Boyfriend For Hire is a fun, flirty, sexy and totally entertaining romance story.

I am always a little leery about reading an escort story. Because cheating is a hard limit for me when it comes to my romance books. And I have read in the past some that really push that line, but I am happy to say that Kendall Ryan has written one of the BEST escort stories I’ve read. She NEVER crosses that line, so there is NO cheating in this book.

Boyfriend For Hire is Kendall Ryan’s newest standalone novel. This is the first book in her newest interconnected standalone novels about the Allure Escort Agency. Each book will be about a different escort working for the agency. This one is about Nic. I thought the flow and pace of the story was great. I loved the characters we meet in this story as well. Although the storyline is pretty predictable, it was still totally entertaining and sucked me in until the end.

Like I said in this story we follow along with Nic and Elle. Nic is a 28 year old man who is a pretty popular make escort. He has been in the business for the past 6 years, but is now starting to think he wants more out of life. Elle is a newly single woman who was recently dumped by her boyfriend and is now dateless for her best friends wedding. Christine (Elle’s BFF) got the brilliant idea of hiring Nic to be Elle’s date for the wedding, without telling her. What could go wrong, right???? Little did Christine know this would be a game changer for both Elle and Nic. Read Boyfriend For Hire and get to know what happens with Nic and Elle. Can they get their HEA??

As I said I enjoyed meeting all the secondary characters in this story. This is a standalone novel told from Dual POV and has very little drama. But it is an engaging story.

If you are a fan of Kendall Ryan’s books, then you need to read this latest gem of hers!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous

When I got this book I had doubts about the subject, but honestly Kendall had done great justice.

Nic is Chicago's hottest most sought after Male Escorts. He has a high variety of clientele. But Nic has two rules he's gone by 1. No kissing on the lips, 2. No oral sex ever. He's been in the business with his good friend and boss Case for 6 years and has done extremely well on the most side.

In all these years Nic has never had a serious relationship as no one has ever caught his eye or more so his heart until he gets hired by a woman who wants Nic to be her best friends date, a best friend who was recently dumped by her boyfriend.

Ellie has recently been dumped by her boyfriend and her brothers good friend, who did not take long getting another girlfriend. Ellie is heartbroken and the last thing she wants is to go to her brothers wedding alone.

Ellies best friend sets her up with her college friend for the wedding all in good faith. But who knew what would happen.

When Nic and Ellie meet for the first time its instant attraction. Both get on amazingly with each other. Nic is extremely conflicted and with Ellie he breaks the first rule he kisses her.

After the wedding Nic stops taking on clients as his feelings and emotions are too much to deal with. He and Ellie keep seeing each other but he didn't let it get sexual for a long time. Thus earning respect from Ellie.

Nic knows he needs to tell Ellie the truth about his work and it doesn't help that Christine has threatened him. Will his love for Ellie be enough for Ellie to get over the truth or Will this be what broke them forever.

A great read and exceptionally written. I love the emotions and conflict that Nic his through. Think you Kendall Ryan for a great read.
