Resumen del Editor

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.

Sweet, steamy and funny

I love the characters in this series and this universe! I highly recommend this book!
With Joel Leslie's perfect narration it's perfection!

slow burn and snark for the win

I love a good slow burn and Great snark will always be my biggest weakness. Lily has snark down to an art form. This book is a little different than the others, but I still really enjoyed it. My other weakness is friends to lovers. There were parts that were frustrating when they wouldn't just talk to each other but the journey to their HEA was worth it. This series has a way of making you laugh and hurt at the same time. Joel has nailed the perfect delivery of snark and was the right man for this series. GREAT COMBO

Funny and sweet

I love this series so much. Lily has a knack for blending the perfect mixture of humor and romance. Joel Leslie, of course did a fantastic job preforming this audio. And I do say preforming because he always brings the books he narrates to life. Strongly recommended this one!!!

Moorreee

I want more. More books by Lily Martin please!!!! Joel Leslie’s accents are AMAZING. I love his voice.

Absolutely loved it

The whole series was fantastic and I loved all the couples but Evo was my favorite character

Brilliant

This series has held me spellbound. The books are perfectly narrated and all the characters gain extra layers in the narration. I love them. Do yourselves a favour. Read them. Then listen to them. You won't regret it.

The perfect friends to lovers romance

I loved Henry from the moment he popped into Dylan and Gabe's book and it was such a delight to finally read his HEA when Risk Taker came out.
I'm equally delighted in this splendid narration of he and Ivo's romance, Joel adds so much to this story with his performance and has nailed the pacing, the humour and the big personalities of both the MCs.
An easy 5-star rating from me

Wonderful romantic comedy!

I have really enjoyed this series and I'm so glad we are getting Henri's story and that he gets his HEA! The humor from this author is off the charts and I actually found myself snort laughing several times in this book. The history between Henri and Ivo is definitely interesting and I did have to force myself to look at things objectively but I loved this friends to lovers romance. It was a very well written story. I will even admit that I found myself wanting to skip the hot scenes so I could find out what was going to happen in the story line sooner because I desperately needed to know what would happen when Ivo got called back to work. Overall wonderful story and I am already looking for more books from this author. As always Joel Leslie did and amazing job with the narration!

Great Series

This series is so heartbreakingly frustrating, Oh you just want to knock some sense into them! This is a great addition to the series a friends to lovers kind of a lost years/2nd chance feel with lots of snark and love, laughter and tears. Leslie does a great job with the narration as usual.

The Queen of Snark Reigns Supreme!!

I read this book in one sitting, staying up until 3am to do so. Like Morton's previous books in this series, it was AWESOME! Unlike her other books, it was a bit angstier.

Joel Leslie was phenomenal in his performance of Ivo and Henry. He is my fave when doing British (or French) accents!!

There was great balance between the feels and the funny. These two MCs are ex stepbrothers and best friends. They love each other. Both are in love with the other, but will not put their friendship at risk by trying for more. Angst, angst, angst...they go for more. HEA.

Characters from the previous two books in the series make appearances and we meet Silas, brother of MC Henry, who stars in the next book , Oz (HILARIOUS!!!).

This one is a must for Lily Morton fans...and who wouldn't be? She's writing some of the BEST and FUNNIEST romance out there!
