You're the Problem, It's You

The Mischief & Matchmaking Series, Book 2

De: Emma R. Alban

Narrado por: Chris Devon, Will Watt

The enemies-to-lovers queer Victorian romance follow-up to Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend, in which a young lord and a second son clash, but find themselves thrust together again and again by their meddling cousins.

“That man is, without a doubt, the absolute most obnoxious…

Bobby Mason is sick of being second best: born the spare, never trusted with family responsibility, never expected to amount to much. He’s hungry to contribute something that matters, while all around him his peers are squandering their political and financial power, coasting through life. Which is exactly why he can’t stand the new Viscount Demeroven.

…insufferable…

James Demeroven, just come of age and into the Viscountcy, knows that he’s a disappointment. Keeping his head down and never raising anyone’s expectations is how he’s survived life with his stepfather. To quiet, careful James, Bobby Mason is a blazing comet in his endless night, even more alive than he was at Oxford when James crushed on him from afar. But Mason is also brash and recklessly unapologetic, destined to shatter the fragile safety of James’s world. Worst of all, he keeps rubbing James’s failures in his face.

…hottest man to ever walk the ton.”

They can barely get through a single conversation without tensions boiling over. Neither Bobby nor James has ever met a more intriguing, infuriating, infatuating man.

If only they could avoid each other entirely. Bad enough their (wonderful but determined) cousins Beth and Gwen keep conveniently setting up group outings. But when an extortionist starts targeting their families, threatening their reputations, Bobby and James must find a way to work together, without pushing each other’s buttons (or tearing them off) in the process....

Love Love Love!

This is the perfect follow-up to Beth and Gwen's story period Bobby and James have their own beautiful and messy relationship. I love that we also got to see both couples grow and find a good plan for each couple. The epilogue alone was my favorite part.

Worth the wait!

Worth every second of waiting for this sequel to arrive. Will probably listen to the series as a whole at least another 10 times.

the story

I love this book but James's voice is a little deep over all the book is great!

Great choice!

Not a huge fan of historical fiction and the story is a slow burn but once it gets moving you’re hooked! Loved both the narrators too :)

Excellent read!

Great story and great performances. What’s with the weird music at the beginning and end?

Really hard to get through - ending not worth it

I was so disappointed in this story. It was depressing listening to two people wallow in their misery and not do anything to make it better. They spent so much time mired in hating each other and being mean to one another that is was frustrating and stressful. The MCs are equally awful people, making blatantly bad decisions and I found it very hard to like or care if anything good happens to them. There is none of the chemistry I would want to see between them when they are fighting other than them saying they find each other physically attractive. It’s just not believable these two people would ever be together. So frustrating, I wish I had just stopped listening but it became a hate listen.
