Fake dating my sworn enemy to make my ex so jealous he can't see straight? Worth it. Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiance needs to be taken down a notch. So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple. Even though Silas and I are polar opposites. Silas is a loud, cheerful, over the top showboat. He’s his hometown’s golden boy, the Marine who came back to rescue kittens from trees and walk old ladies across the street. And me? I'm the awkward new girl who freezes up around strangers and can’t make small talk to save my life. It shouldn’t work. We can barely have a conversation without arguing. There's no way we should be friends, let alone dating, except... Everyone believes it. Especially my ex. Now I'm having way too many real fantasies about the man who gets on my last nerve. My fake boyfriend is starting to feel a whole lot like a real one. The kisses feel real. The way he protects me feels real. The night we spend together in a hotel bed feels very real. This was supposed to be fake, but I think I might have fooled myself most of all.

Kat and Silas might be enemies but they find themselves in a mutually beneficial fake dating scheme after the world’s most awkward introduction. In One Month Boyfriend, we see the fake dating blossom into friendship, and then, maybe… something more.
From the first page, I was in love with the characters. The entire cast is lively and distinct. I especially resonated with Kat. This was, quite possibly, the most accurate portrayal of social anxiety that I have read in a book. I felt seen, understood, and represented.
The romance was believable, spicy, and well-paced. I’m not usually the biggest fan of enemies to lovers, but this one was done so well, I rooted for the two main characters on every page.
There were some heavy topics in this book, but they were balanced well with compassion and humorous moments. I was impressed with the care Roxie Noir took in writing these characters and their struggles.
Easily a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for me, and I’ve already started book 2 in the series!
