Vow Maker

Mixed Messages, Book 4

De: Lily Morton

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

Dylan Mitchell wants to get married. However, after seven years of being engaged, that’s looking slightly doubtful. After going through ten wedding planners, they’re gaining a reputation somewhat akin to Henry the Eighth on the wedding circuit. Gabe has vetoed symbolic dove releases, forests of flowers, fire-eating performers, and puce as a wedding color. He’s confounded an army of wedding professionals, and now Dylan, the man who knows and loves him better than anyone, has joined the ranks of the confused. Can anything please his fiancé and get them to the altar?

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes the sequel to Rule Breaker. A romantic comedy novella full of family chaos, meddling friends, sexy bathroom encounters, and love. Always love.

Perfect visit with old friends!

Oh this was just glorious! I absolutely loved it when I read it and it was even better revisiting this with Joel Leslie's expert narration! He just brings Lily's characters to life! I loved every bit of it. What a grand time revisiting with Gabe, Dylan and all their friends again as they prepare for their wedding. It was so funny with that trademark wit and snark that Lily Morton just excels at writing. It was so sweet and romantic. Dylan is Gabe's person and their love is still so strong. We get to see all the men we've grown to love in the Mixed Messages series and it was fantastic. This is a true treat for fans of the series.

What a couple

Dylan and Gabe have taken the long way around to the wedding with innumerable false starts and wedding planners with much less hair left in their wake. It's a good thing these two are perfect for each other, because no one else could put up with them as a romantic partner, lol. Lots of old friends appear in this one as well. As always, Joel Leslie and Lily Morton are a perfect match. Joel always "gets" her complicated guys perfectly.

laughter and love

This book was like spending time and catching up with old friends. Gabe and Dillon's banter keeps you laughing while you can't help but feel the love. Lily Morton's love of her characters comes across in how well they have all stayed true to themselves while also allowing the characters to grow. Joel Leslie Froomkin has given each person their own voice. whether

Gabe & Dylan

I adored this! Joel Leslie’s wonderful narration takes us back where it all began with Lily’s men with Gabe and Dylan getting married (finally)! It was great fun revisiting these two, as well as the other guys we’ve come to know through the Mixed Messages series. I loved the snark and wit throughout. And the wedding planners! Such hilarity! The first impression of Joe was fantastic and had me laughing out loud. This was a true love story the fans of Gabe and Dylan and I finished reading with a smile on my face!

Witty and romantic, I loved it!

Once again, Joel Leslie has done a fantastic job performing Lily Morton's words. These characters wouldn't be the same from any other voice actor. Below is what I wrote when I read the book with my eyes.

This book is a sequel to Rule Breaker, the first book in the Mixed Messages series, and I really think you need to read that book first to enjoy this one this most. It’s a fantastic story and gives you the history behind Dylan’s and Gabe’s relationship.

Vow Maker is a fantastically witty, snarky and romantic story. Gabe and Dylan have been together for more than a few years now but they’ve yet to tie the knot. Part of the problem is finding a wedding planner that suits them. Each chapter has a little snippet of conversation between Dylan and Gabe about one of the wedding planners they had considered. I confess to being a tiny bit confused at first because chapter one ends with Gabe saying that he thinks they’ve finally found their new planner. After getting into chapter two I realized that the snippets were the author’s way of letting us know why other planners hadn’t worked out and I loved reading them.

The story is told in first person POV with chapters alternating between Dylan and Gabe. The dialogue is wonderful and exactly what I’d expect from Lily Morton. My review can’t convey how much I enjoyed reading this novella. I haven’t read a Lily Morton book yet that I didn’t love.

Wedding perfection

I absolutely adored this glimpse at Gabe and Dylan trying to plan their big day. I laughed out loud more than once but that is pretty normal for a Lily Morton story. These two don’t have the best of luck when it comes to planners. Truly worth a listen and Joel Leslie brings these characters to life like no other. This story also gives us our first glimpse of Joe the wedding planner who gets his own HEA later on. It may take Gabe and Dylan a bit of work but their wedding day is just the icing on the wedding cake for their forever after! ❤️🩷❤️🩷

Very Entertaining Story

I enjoyed this book a lot, Gabe and Dylan story was my favorite in this series and I loved visiting with them as they plan their perfect wedding event. This story has humor, romance, sexy times and meddling but well-meaning friends. Narrator did a great job telling this story, seems like author and narrator are very good team. Overall this was a very entertaining listening experience.

so much love

my favorite couple of all time I just loved this ....I wish I was Dillon..how very lucky they are together ❤️ great book lily thank you!!

I Love This Universe

I absolutely love all of the stories in this connected universe and I love this follow up with Dylan & Gabe. I laughed out loud at several parts. I'll be going back to this one again. I adored reading this story but it was even more amazing listening to the wonderful Joel Leslie narrate it and bring it to life.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

A lovely novella.

This is the perfect finish to the series. So good to revisit Gabe & Dylan’s storyline. Cameos by the other two couples complete the circle. Expect to finish with misty eyes and a smile. Thanks Lily!
