Yet another amazing story from Jenny Proctor, who has perfected the sweet, funny, steamy (but not spicy) romcom. She is 100% an auto buy for me, and always brings relatable characters and realistic conflict to the table (even if those characters are boy band members or movie stars).

Once Upon a Boy Band give us Adam, a dog rescue owner with a past he wants to leave behind and Laney, a small town vet who never would’ve imagined her high school obsession could come full circle, and some big ways. In spite how that sounded, this is absolutely a romcom.

Small thing to call out, but this seems unique to me and I loved it. Both of our leads are introverts, and while they do have to function in an extrovert’s world, they don’t have to change who they are in order to make things work.

-small town
-secret identity
-kind of black cat/black cat
-music as a love language

I literally read this in a day because I couldn’t put it down.

As a big fan of both Jenny Proctor AND boybands, I have been very much looking forward to reading this one... and it absolutely did not disappoint! I absolutely adored Adam and Laney together! Again, being a boyband fan, I couldn't help but imagine how it would feel to be in Laney's shoes--- discovering the man that you've started to fall for... is actually your teenage celebrity crush! And let's just say it wasn't a small crush! That led to some really fun moments that had me laughing out loud. Their chemistry was absolutely fantastic and those kisses... oh, so good! I couldn't help but absolutely fall in love with these two. Not only was their story humorous and fun, but it was also really tender too. Grief and the loss of Adam's mother is a big topic in the book, and there were definitely some moments that had me reaching for the tissues... it was the perfect blend of humor and emotion, and I loved every moment of it. Though I can't elaborate without spoilers, there's a discovery made later in the story that absolutely hit me with ALL the feels and I absolutely LOVED it. As a Jenny Proctor fan, I really enjoyed seeing some familiar characters from previous series make appearances too (though you don't have to have read any others to enjoy this one!)

Once Upon a Boyband is a closed-door romance with kisses only and some minor language.

If ever there was a book for me it was this one about a former boyband member incognito! What more could I ask for?! Thank you NetGalley for the arc!
