The Magpie Lord - K.J. Charles

The very fact I called one of my colleagues at work Stephen / and his name is nothing close to that/ just because I couldn't stop thinking of the book it's explanatory enough how much I love it . 
Thank you. K.J. Charles for not naming one of your main characters some name like Jabari or Aloysius, cause that would've gotten me in trouble.

Laugh out loud funny but not really a romance...
The Epic Love Story of Doug and Stephen - Valerie Z. Lewis

This one is quite hard to rate.
Its very very funny with quite a lot of laugh out loud moments.  My husband was looking at me weirdly a lot of the time.  Of course I couldn't tell him what I was laughing at as he just wouldn't get it.
Doug is beyond stupid and I'm pretty sure people like him have been Darwined out of existence by now.  But he was extremely refreshing and every now and then came up with something very profound. 
I liked that he was the perfect match for Stephen.  Stephen hates the world and everyone in it.  Never smiles and is basically as arse to everyone.  But Doug makes him smile - a little anyway.
This isn't really a romance and all sex is behind closed doors.  We get some kissing action but that's it.  This is more of a comedy.  There is no HEA, its more like a 'happy for today' ending.  I don't think the way the story was told it would have supported a HEA, but it ended the right way.
If you need a good laugh and don't mind extreme stupidity with no sex, this is the book for you!

The Epic Love Story of Doug and Stephen
The Epic Love Story of Doug and Stephen ... The Epic Love Story of Doug and Stephen - Valerie Z. Lewis 3.5-4 stars. Think of the most extreme opposites attract story you know of. Then dial it up a notch. That's what this story ended up being.

It's not that Doug, the male model main character, is not the brightest crayon in the box; rather, it's like Doug is the BLACK crayon. Seriously. Now try pairing him up with Stephen, the uber-intellectual (and he's so uber-aware of that fact) editor at the magazine at which Doug somehow and miraculously landed a job (hint: Doug has to model clothes - usually naked - as part of his column every week). Disaster in the making, right?

And you'd be right in thinking that. Stephen is soooooooooooooo mean to Doug in the beginning and throughout a lot of the story. I cringed at some of the mean things he said to poor Doug. But the charm of this story is the baby steps that Stephen takes - usually subconsciously - that show his growing tolerance and then affection for Doug and his less-than-brilliant ways.

Doug's kind of...well, dumb. But he's also so sweet, kind-hearted and harmless that instead of finding him frustrating, I just giggled (out loud...on the subway) when he did or said zany things.

This book will make you laugh out loud, and...BEST OF ALL...it's free. :)

One thing to note, though, is that it's fade-to-black/closed door, so yeah...no sexytimes. *pouts*
