Perfect for you if...

  • You love grumpy/sunshine chemistry that builds slowly and believably, with banter that actually makes you laugh out loud.
  • You want queer romance that doesn't apologise for existing and treats LGBTQIA+ characters as fully realised people, not inspiration porn.
  • You're after British humour: self-deprecating, sharp, and wrapped around genuine emotional stakes.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer dark or angsty romance; this is warm and fundamentally optimistic about love and human connection.
  • You need high-stakes conflict or external drama to stay engaged; the tension here is internal and relies on character work.
  • You're not interested in romantic comedy as a genre; the plot is the vehicle, not the destination.

About this book

Luc O'Donnell's public image has suffered from tabloid scandals, his rock-star father's behavior, and failed relationships. To repair his reputation, he arranges a fake romance with Oliver Blackwood, a principled and respectable man he knows. Oliver needs a date, making the arrangement seem mutually beneficial. What begins as staged photo opportunities and brunches gradually develops into genuine feelings. As the boundaries between performance and reality blur and both men reveal hidden truths, Luc confronts a question he has long avoided: whether someone could accept and love him as he truly is. This is the first book in the London Calling series. It features British humor, emotional depth, and LGBTQIA+ representation, with grumpy/sunshine dynamics and slow-burn chemistry between the main characters.
