Weddings: a Bit of a Faff

Husband Material (London Calling #2) by Alexis Hall

March 4, 2025 by Zirza 4 Comments

In Husband Material (predictably the sequel to Boyfriend Material; number three in the series, Father Material, is still pending), Luc and Oliver are still a happy couple. They are thirty-ish, and anyone who is thirty-ish will remember that that is the age at which one seems to have a matrimonial or matrimonially-adjacent activity seemingly every week.

How To Make a Husband

Husband Material by Emily Belden

March 13, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. This book will be released on September 24, 2019.  I feel a bit sad. The potential with this book was pretty high, it’s just that Belden ended up having a main character who wasn’t that likable and also the romance felt forced. “Husband Material” follows 29 year old Charlotte Rosen. A New York transplant, Charlotte initially worked in a different field than what she does now. Charlotte works […]
