About this listen

Sometimes the best love stories come in two parts.

When Felix met handsome journalist Max Travers, it was lust at first sight. It was just his luck that he then had to develop a terrible case of feelings and got his heart broken.

However, two and a half years later, he’s over all of that. His job is going well, he has good friends, and he doesn’t lack for male company. Which, of course, is when Max has to come bursting back into his life.

Felix Jackson will always be the one who got away to Max. He’s spent their time apart regretting his actions and hoping for a second chance. When an accident lands him in Felix’s less than tender care, Max is determined to grab this opportunity. The only problem is that Felix is equally determined that he doesn’t.

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a story of missed opportunities, second chances, and two very stubborn men.

This is the third book in the Close Proximity series, but it can be listened to as a standalone.

MM, Second Chance, Contemporary, Comedy, Romance. This is the third book in the series but can be listened to as a stand-alone with no loss of enjoyment or understanding. From their very first meeting I was laughing and the humour throughout is hysterical, there are emotional moments also and lots of steam. A fantastic story that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to and extremely well narrated by Joel Leslie. Guaranteed HEA.

OMG, this book just blew me away, and I loved I loved this book so much, once I started it I could not put it down, the story did not just grab and captivate my attention the entire time but it tugged on my heartstrings too. Lily Morton is a gifted author, a master of snark and witty dialogue and her way with words is absolutely brilliant. Add that in with the amazing characters and storylines she created and you have this entertaining masterpiece of a story and if I could, I would rate it well above the allowed five star rating. I adored Felix Jackson and everything that came out of his mouth, a no filter, tells it like it is has a perfect response ready to go for any situation. A bubbling and colorful personality that can brighten anyone’s day and will definitely put a smile on your face and he did just that for Max Travers, a journalist visiting the bookstore where they first met. There was an instant attraction between them, neither were looking for love or a relationship, but they sure had some steamy hookups, hookups that happened more frequently and before Felix knew it he did what he said he never would, he developed feelings for Max. But he soon learns that Max was not upfront about everything and wound up breaking his heart. Max comes to grip and realizes how wrong he was about love, it took him a great loss to open his eyes and his heart, but it is too late, Felix hates him and is lost to him. But he soon learns that Max was not upfront about everything and wound up breaking his heart. Max comes to grips and realizes how wrong he was about love, and it took him a great loss to open his eyes and his heart, but it was too late, Felix wants nothing to do with him. Fast forward two and a half years and he gets the chance to make things right and puts together a plan to do just that. I loved how everything played out in this beautifully plotted second chance romance, the story has the perfect balance of drama, humor, heartfelt emotions and hot sexy times that are well written and done. Lily Morton, thank you for another amazing story, the laughs and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Joel Leslie is the perfect narrator to bring these characters and their story to life. He has a complete understanding of the characters he portrays, gives each a voice that suits that character’s persona to a tee, accents and all, sounding believable and just as I picture the character to sound. He is a natural talent, handling the snark and witty dialogue with ease, landing the humor effortlessly, never missing a beat. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all the characters’ emotions and projected them into his performance and has you feeling every single one. Joel Leslie is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to, his narration takes an already brilliant story to another level. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

I’ve always wanted to know what happened to max and felix after reading their cameos in the other books in the series. I loved reading their story and also hearing it there is something about Joel’s British accent.

I've had in my mind to try a Lily Morton as her books are always recommended as funny. The blurbs and covers have never appealed though, so I did not until I got the opportunity to review this audiobook.

It took me a little while to get into Joel narrating contemporary, but once I did I was surprised at what an easy listen it was. I ended up staying up late on the second night to finish it.

Felix is a fantastic character, and I really enjoyed his wit. I would have enjoyed getting to know Max better, with a more detailed account of his experiences which are the root cause of his issues in this book. Felix's trauma is also not very palpable. For example, having an angry drunk for a father, I would have expected him to be more nervous about Max's excess drinking.

I don't tend to read contemporary books which don't involve another subgenre (e.g. action or bdsm) but I found this to be similar in tone and characters to Alexis Hall's Boyfriend Material.

As a Londoner (who is not posh or white) I find it off-putting when books set here do not reflect the amazing diversity of this city. The cast of characters are (presumably) all white and of a set that either is - or rubs shoulders with - aristocracy. Felix is the most normal character, but even he had to be poshed-up by having had a scholarship to a private school. I found it off-putting that Max kept talking about how he was attracted to Felix's posh accent, which smacks of snobbery.

Unless you are a certain type of undesirable person, it is frankly impossible to live in London and not have people in your life from a range of ethnic, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. I would like to see that better reflected in books set here.

Enjoyable, though lacking diversity.
