I have a secret bigger than my restaurant's burrito grande.

Ignacio: That girl everyone saw me fake kissing is not my girlfriend. Somehow, a small favor turns into a recipe for disaster, and the only way to fix it is to add a little spice, let it simmer, and serve it hot. We might be cooking up a fake relationship, but even pretend kissing Olive is muy delicioso.

Olive: You know your massive crush on your boss is getting out of hand when you enthusiastically volunteer to be his fake girlfriend. Yup. That’s what I did. But only because his grandma caught us stirring up some salsa, if you know what I mean. Is it my fault he’s hotter than sizzling fajitas? I’m talking super caliente, my friend.

Now we’re deep in this ruse, and those fake kisses are starting to feel all too real.

I need to remember that Nacho is not my boyfriend before I get burned.

Nacho Boyfriend is a closed-door romantic comedy with mild swears, steamy kisses, and humorous innuendos.

Editorial Reviews

★★★★★ "Absolutely loved it! This is one of the best Rom-Com's I've read with literal laugh out loud moments and great chemistry. I expected this book to be less funny, and so was pleasantly (to put it mildly) surprised. There were even parts I shared with my husband that made him laugh, and he doesn't like rom-coms.

Great book!"

★★★★★ "I have officially fallen in love with gigi’s writing. she just has this special way with words that i totally vibe with. I have 63 highlights, guys. no joke!!"

★★★★★ "After reading this book I wanted some tacos…or a little taste of Nacho!" 😉

★★★★★ "I laughed so much that people kept asking me to read it out loud."

Laughed So Many Times

I love this series! Ignacio and Olive and their multicultural relationship are hysterical! I laughed so much that people kept asking me to read it out loud. So much love and laughter, yet serious things to overcome as well. I just wish my Spanish was better. I'm going to get the next book right away.

Hilarious

Ignacio (Nacho) and Olive are adorable! Gigi Blume is an entertaining writer. I highly recommend this series. Laugh out loud funny.

Grumpy Softie

Ignacio is my new favorite grump. He tries so hard to be so grumpy but Olive breaks through his tough shell. The dynamic between the two was perfect and I loved watching Nacho transform and the smugness he shows to Olive’s ex was perfect. I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook and the narrators did a wonderful job!!! Thank you Gigi for the review copy. These words are my own.

(4.5 stars) - loving this series!

Every bit as entertaining as the previous Precio brothers' stories!I wasn't sure about Olive at first as she seems so ditzy, but she's just determined to find happiness in life wherever she can. Ignacio is almost the opposite, but it turns out that he has the weight of the world coming down on his shoulders.I loved seeing how stiff, perfect Ignacio almost unconsciously begins to relax around Olive. And really enjoyed the point when he finally just lets go under the stress and goes a little crazy with her at the schmucks' party.Totally fun! I wish we had gotten a wrap up of the restaurant situation & the stuff with Pancho 2 but perhaps that's going to be addressed in the upcoming books*Romance level: passionate kisses, a little on the spicier side, but nothing graphic*Language: minor/mild*Religion: Olive is Jewish, though definitely more by birth than faith; Ignacio & his family are Catholic - though it also seems to be more by birth than faith

GIVE ME SOME NACHOS!

Wow, I loved this book so much!! I knew I would enjoy it after reading The Hate Zone last month, so as soon as I finished all my ARCs and buddy reads, I was so excited to jump back into the Precio Brothers. Nacho Boyfriend lived up to all my expectations! It made me really happy and laugh super hard!Fake dating is my favorite, and this was done so well! They didn’t question every single action, and just had fun and went with it. The transition from “fake” to “real” was perfect and had some extra funny twists.Olive was a big ball of quirky sunshine and Christmas joy. Chef Crabby Cakes, aka Ignacio, was like a latino Thor. They were downright adorable together!Some things I absolutely loved:🌮 Olive’s constant word vomits🌮 Hilarious Precio Family dynamics🌮 The Serendipity references🌮 Christmas everything but she’s Jewish🌮 Turkey attack🌮 Delicious food descriptions🌮 Precio Sunday dinners🌮 Obi Juan Kenobi🌮 Scorpion sceneAfter reading this book I wanted some tacos…or a little taste of Nacho! 😉
