About this item

A red-hot, enemies-to-lovers, fake boyfriend, second-chance romance, and the conclusion to the Hopelessly Bromantic duet!

Let me just say this—fake dating the cocky movie star was not my idea. Especially since he’s my former roomie and, gulp, my secret ex.

But my agent tells me, I have no choice since I’m ridiculously overdue with turning in the next big blockbuster love story to my publisher.

Not to mention, ahem, writing it.

Hooking up with the smooth-talking English hottie once upon a time—fine, twice—were huge mistakes that I shouldn’t repeat, but pretending to like the guy who drives me crazy is my only chance at saving my job. That is, as long as no one finds out that every date we go on, every smile we flash each other for the cameras, and every hot, desperate kiss on the streets of Manhattan is absolutely fake.

Except…it’s not. At least for me. And he can never know....

Here Comes My Man is the final novel in the epic two-book Hopelessly Bromantic duet! Performed with a full supporting cast including: Vanessa Edwin, J.F. Harding, James Joseph, Faye Adele, Evan Parker, Shakira Shute, Robbie Martino, Blake Lockheart, Stephanie Németh-Parker, Stella Hunter, and, in a special performance, Sebastian York!

Here Comes My Man also includes bloopers, an interview with the leads, and the world premiere of The Boyfriend Kickoff, a prequel novella to the Boyfriend Comeback!

5.0 out of 5 stars fun, emotional and tugged a bit on the ol' heartstrings

TJ's blocked. Jude's gotten himself into a bit of a mess. Their people think that means they need to fake date. Why? Well, it will look good for everyone involved. But can two secret exes who couldn't make things work more than once make a fake relationship work when they couldn't make a real relationship work before?!

TJ needs to open up to his fake boyfriend. He knows how he really feels but admitting it? Yeah maybe not so easy to articulate. Jude needs to be a bit more trusting, not bring to the table all his distrust and insecurities. Granted, he's in the industry that's all about make believe, but still, if he wants his fake turned real relationship to work, he has to trust what TJ tells him and what he feels. Can he do that?

I LOVE these two guys!! TJ's the sweetheart who has never gotten over his ex. Jude's the snappy, witty one who also hasn't gotten over his ex. I knew that though they were "enemies" that love was going to win because neither had ever fallen out of love with the other. Their journey back to each other was fun, emotional and tugged a bit on the ol' heartstrings, and had so much damn heat my Kindle practically melted. I wish this author would write even more stories about this couple in the future because I never want to be done reading about them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be Sure You Read Book One
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022
I have to say, I’m glad this ride is over. I’m just not built for a lot of will they-won’t they, do they-don’t they, come here come here come here-go away go away go away. The constant uncertainty spread over two books was nerve wracking. One step forward, ten steps back. Beautiful men, beautiful story… but I’m gonna need to read a WHOLE lot of heavy alpha to regain some balance.

The first book definitely ended in Los Angeles on a downer and this one picks up ten months later in New York. Jude, the actor, is up for an academy award but his PR cred has taken a really big hit from some unfortunate paparazzi pics and he’s not the shoo-in, media darling he might have been or needs to be to win that award. Now he’s the dark horse nominee and in need of some seriously good publicity.

TJ, the writer, is long overdo with his next book and his agent is desperate that he may default on his publishing contract. TJ is a right proper mess since the breakup debacle with Jude in Los Angeles and suffering overwhelming writer’s block.

So their mutual agents cook up this fake boyfriend scheme. TJ is stable, handsome, successful and best of all, his only public scandal ended favorably for him (dumped on national tv). Jude is an actor and can certainly play the new boyfriend part and hopefully jumpstart TJ’s creative juices. But… hang on. They REALLY ARE exes with history and had something almost similar to a real relationship. How is this going to work?

The chemistry is still there (definitely five-star steamy) but can a real relationship develop behind the guise of a fake relationship after such an epic failure the first time? What about the fake breakup of the fake boyfriends their new PR guy has planned?

Well you see my dilemma, right? There is a LOT of up, down, back, forth and zero humor to lighten any of this angst. I LOVE TJ and Jude. They are SO perfect for each other. Great characters! Would I go through this again? No. Don’t get me wrong. It’s very well written. Very well edited. The words are good. The epilogues are, well…, epic. It just wasn’t my kind of romance. I can’t do a ton of miscommunication and confusion.

NOTE: I NEVER give away spoilers but this was so entirely frustrating throughout most of the book. WHY didn’t they just tell the PR guy that it wasn’t fake???? It would have made an even better PR story than a fake breakup from the fake relationship and accomplished the same goals. AND it would have avoided that entire final blogger debacle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Third time's the charm for TJ and Jude! 5+ stars!
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2022
I've been eager to get my greedy hands on Here Comes My Man ever since I finished reading Hopelessly Bromantic, and while a month or so doesn't sound all that long, when it's an M/M romance from Lauren Blakely with two of the most enigmatic and engaging main characters around, well, it feels like forever. I'd like to note to anyone who has yet to pick up either book or is simply new to Blakely's work that these titles must be read in order. There's also a free prequel novella, Shameless Flirt, so if you want to play it safe, you could check that out prior to making a decision to purchase the two full-length novels in this quite fab series.

With the way things were at the end of Hopelessly Bromantic, it looked like TJ Hardman and Jude Graham were going to be spending some quality time together, whether they liked it or not. That's what happens when both their careers need a bit of spit and polish, and not in a hot, dirty way. They're tasked to pretend to be boyfriends, which shouldn't be all that difficult considering the fact that they actually were boyfriends once upon a time. Faking it shouldn't be a problem, but then TJ and Jude didn't exactly part ways under the best of circumstances. To complicate matters even further, the more time they're together, the more these two remember why they fell in love the first (and second) time(s) around. Could the third time be the charm?

Welp, it took them three tries, but TJ and Jude finally--FINALLY!--get it right! That's not saying that getting to that happily-ever-after of theirs was easy because it was absolutely complicated, but it was also hard-earned and well-deserved. It may seem simple enough that better communication and being more open would have saved these two a whole lot of heartache, but nothing is ever that simple. Plus I happen to love that this was a friends-to-lovers-to-exes-to-friends-to-lovers story. There's a great deal of growth that happens to both main characters after everything they've gone through, so the relationship is on far better footing the third time around. Here Comes My Man was witty, romantic, and hot, which is everything I've come to anticipate from Lauren Blakely. Each box checked, and every expectation surpassed. Five-plus stars.
