About this listen
Being in love with your best friend is hard.
Henry’s the odd man out. All his friends are settling down, and his reputation as the hook-up king of London seems more like a curse than a blessing, these days. Especially when it keeps photojournalist Ivo, his best friend and the brilliant man he’s loved since they were 15, at arm’s length. But that’s where Ivo wants him, right? Putting aside his feelings, Henry decides to give up casual sex and look for the real deal.
After all, he has no chance with Ivo. Or, does he?
Henry is everything to Ivo. Best friend, soul mate, the one person who has never let him down. The one person he is loyal to above everything and everyone. But Henry’s in a box marked best friend, and that’s where Ivo’s kept him for nearly 20 years, despite steadily falling in love with the gentle man. And besides, why would Henry want to date Ivo? Burned out and injured, he’s the walking embodiment of damaged.
Distance has helped Henry and Ivo keep a lid on their attraction, but when they find themselves in the same city for a change -Ivo hurt and needing assistance and Henry more than willing to provide it - the two best friends grow closer than ever, forcing a realization and a decision.
Risk their friendship for their hearts? Or can they have both?
From the best-selling author of Rule Breaker and Deal Maker comes a tender love story about two best friends who are perfect for each other, and always have been...if only they knew it. This is the third book in the Mixed Messages series, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Story
Is it really wrong to want to murder your boss? Dylan has worked for Gabe for two years. Two long years of sarcastic comments. Two long years of insults, and having to redo the coffee pot four times in the mornings to meet his exacting standards. Not surprisingly he has devoted a lot of time to increasingly inventive ways to murder Gabe. From stabbing him with a cake fork, to garrotting him with his expensive tie, Dylan has thought of everything. However, a chance encounter opens his eyes to the attraction that has always lain between them, concealed by the layers of antipathy.

Story
Oz Gallagher does not do relationships well. Bored and jobless after another disastrous hook up, he decides to leave London for a temporary job in the wilds of Cornwall. Surely managing a stately home on a country estate will be easier than navigating the detritus of his relationships at home. Six months there will alleviate a bit of his wanderlust and then he can come back to London as footloose and fancy free as the day he left it. However, when he gets there, he finds a house in danger of crumbling to the ground and a man who is completely unlike anyone he’s ever met.

Story
His own marriage was a whirlwind affair that ended before the ink could dry on the wedding certificate. Nevertheless, even with his divorce pending, he’s getting by. Or at least he was until he finds himself snowed in at a remote Scottish hotel with the wedding party from hell, a terrible ABBA tribute band, and his soon-to-be ex-husband.

Story
It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn’t meet. We just texted - one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father’s expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again, and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. I like talking to him, the same way I enjoy chatting with GoodWithHisHands. They weren’t supposed to be the same person.

Joel Leslie turns this lovely romance in GOLD
Lily Morton has as way with character and can unravel a love story with chemistry and just enough angst to keep to you rooting for the protagonists. Her way with dialogue is humorous and snarky. The love scenes are HOT like fire and you’d think they’d be written as of by rote, but I’m truly moved every time.
Additionally, Joel Leslie is so talented and this book is just one more accolade to add to his resumé. His command of accents is brilliant and he brings every character to bright, vivid life. Thank you to both of them for this warm hearted, fun romp.

Superb Narration
This was a good book, a nice end to the series. I think that my issue with this one is that it was a bit melodramatic, and not enough angsty. The romance was sweet, but there were so many times that I wanted to shake some sense into them.
Overall, a good read. Not my favourite of the trilogy, though. 3.5*
The narration was spectacular. I absolutely adore Joel Leslie.

Amazing
I love Lily Morton and her ability to make you fall in love with her heroes. Henry and Ivo are one of my favourite couples who share an amazing love. Joel Leslie does an absolutely amazing job bringing these men to life.

Absolutely Fantastic
5 Blue Roses
4 Blue Flames
Narrator Joel Leslie gave a boisterous, lively narration of this witty although steamy romance. Listeners will either sit grinning from ear to ear or panting secretly while listening to this in public. Joels’ extraordinary performance of this steamy, cheeky and entertaining romantic comedy was truly remarkable. This third installment of the Mixed Messages series was easily the best in the series.
The playful sarcasm appealed to me mostly. The mischievousness the men got themselves into, gave me multiple blowouts or explosive laughs, my tears and snot burned tracks down my cheeks.
Henry and Ivo was stupendously in love with one another, while the author managed brilliantly to portray the ” should I, should I not” so well, the inner turmoil was an enjoyment instead of an irritation. These two men are soul mates, I don’t think the author said it once, but it was certainly indicated in the time they met, and how they each tried their best to live apart, but still gravitated towards each other. It has deep rooted emotional turbulences, at times absurdly so. But, this is a comedy and the satire flows through the book with a steady stream of electric personalities.
I absolutely recommend this audiobook.
Happy Listening
