I adored Boyfriend Material, reading it in less than 48 hours, which is no small feat when you're a Mum of two young kids and have a business to run! So I was beyond excited to be able to read the first 5 chapters of Husband Material.

I loved continuing on with Luc and Oliver's love story set 2 years after the ending of Boyfriend Material. It appears that their lives have continued to be drama-filled, thanks to Luc and his bestie, Bridge.

I can not wait to read the rest of the book. To see what happens with Tom and Bridge, whether Luc attends the wedding of Miles and Jojo and what else is in store for Luc and Oliver, who are in my opinion #endgame

Thank you Alexis Hall, Sourcebooks Casablanca and of course, NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read and review Husband Material

This was a wonderful sneak preview of a book that I’ve been highly anticipating. I loved boyfriend material an absurd amount and was so happy to see that we wouldn’t have another book of Luc and Oliver. It was fun to see that Luc’s inner dialogue is still as chaotic and funny as before in the first book. Already I can see that there are going to be issues popping up in their relationship from outside sources as well as anything that goes on in Luc’s head. I’m also intrigued by what I’ve seen of their friends so far because I love them in the last book and I’m looking forward to seeing more of them in this book. I am now even more anxiously awaiting the release of husband material.

Love this couple! Looks like this sequel is going to be just as emotional as the first. Cannot wait until August to read the rest, I have already preordered!

I enjoyed getting to read this preview and jump back into these characters' stories. The plot has just started to unfold in these first five chapters but it gets me excited to read the full book.

This preview is just enough to make me want the full book now. Right now. Please. I absolutely adored Boyfriend Material, and am eagerly awaiting Husband Material. I'm not sure I can wait until August for more Oliver and Luc.

I was completely in love with Boyfriend Material from the moment I picked it up, and the sequel looks just as amazing. Alexis Hall's writing style is so quick and fun, and all of the characters are very relatable and human. These few chapters had me giggling like a fool, and I'm so excited to read the rest!

The first few chapters have me hooked. It's just as good, if not better than the first book.
I can't wait to get my hands on a full copy!

A great preview of the follow-up to Boyfriend Material! Excited to see these characters again, and see their relationship develop further. The supporting characters have a great dynamic, and it was lovely to be back in this world. Looking forward to reading more once out.

The same witty internal monologue and swoony feeling as the first. The first five chapters set up some great internal struggle for Luc and some wonderful support (as always) from Oliver. I cannot wait to read the rest.

I loved getting a glimpse of these two adorable, quirky, perfectly suited babies. I'd forgotten how much I was missing Luc and Oliver till I started this preview.
The best part of this is that Luc and Oliver aren't suddenly completely well adjusted humans after the last HEA. They have their own fledgling problems even though they love each other desperately. I'm very excited to see how their story unfolds in this book.
Husband Material cannot get here sooner!

I really enjoyed this preview. I loved the first book, Boyfriend Material, and I can’t wait to read more. The preview just wasn’t enough, but I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of Lucien and Oliver. They’ve become like my emotional support couple. Just reading them together has become my happy place.

After reading first 5 chapters of Husband Material, it only made me so much more excited for the full book!! The first chapters were perfectly setting up the rest of the book and I cant wait to fully dive back in to Luc and Oliver's world!!

I had the pleasure of reading the first five chapters and I cannot WAIT for the full book. All of the charm and wit from Boyfriend Material is still there plus the added bonus of already knowing and loving Oliver and Lucien. Can’t wait to see where this goes!

I cannot wait to read more. I really want the complete ARC but am so grateful for these breadcrumbs. I absolutely love the author’s writing style and the chemistry these two have.

This preview is a pure delight. Luc is still a hilarious narrator and a bit of a disaster, His friends are all still very much themselves (with some new developments in their lives because that's how life goes). Rhys and Alex are still their ridiculous selves. Etc.

I was already eager to read the full book and now I am even more eager.

I should say, the place where the preview leaves off is not super angsty but it is not zero angst, and now I'll be sitting with that angst a tiny bit until the full book is available (even though I absolutely expect it to be funny and fun and have a happy ending), so factor that in to whether you want to read the preview or wait for the book.

I enjoyed the preview, and am looking forward to seeing how this one will end. After reading Boyfriend Material, I'm glad that Luc is getting an opportunity for further character development.

I absolutely adored Boyfriend Material and this preview made me super excited for this next book!

Husband Material takes place 2 years after the end of Boyfriend Material and things are going well, until their not. The first few chapters of this preview really sucked me in and I cannot wait for the book release in August to see where the story is headed.

LOVE LOVE LOVE, I absolutely cannot wait for the full book! What an exciting first preview! Alexis Hall appears to have done it again.

Last year I read Boyfriend material and I fell in love with Lucien and Oliver, so saying that I am waiting anxiously for this second book is an understatement.
Reading only the first five chapters I can already tell that there's going to be a lot of drama, but I hope that all will end well.

If you want to read a cute lgbt romance that deals with deeper issues without becoming too heavy, than you should definitely read the first book and then wait patiently for the release of the second!
I personally can't wait.
