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.

Magnus Carlsen is determined to grow old disgracefully. At 52, he doesn’t believe in keeping anything. Men, sofas, books—everything gets jettisoned, eventually. He’s divided his life into happy compartments. A successful trial lawyer, he spends his days lecturing jurors, exasperating judges, and striding arrogantly around courtrooms. He fills his nights with a parade of handsome young men who want to make him happy. Why date someone his own age to discuss back pain, retirement planning, and corns when he can date men who don’t care to discuss anything at all?

Tristan Everett has always preferred the company of the dead because they usually don't talk back. Being a somewhat awkward introvert working as a pathologist at the Hackney Public Mortuary suits him just fine. That is, until a freak accident with a rogue ice cube and suddenly he can see ghosts. No longer content to just lie on the table and let him figure out how they died, they're now peering over his shoulder critiquing his work and confessing their most lascivious sins before skipping off merrily into the afterlife.

He lives a gray shadow of a life, sullen and cynical, unable to remember hope or happiness - much less the distant, fading glitterball of love. It has to be a sick joke of the universe that he finds himself hooked up with good-humored Essex boy Darian Taylor, a wannabe model in a sparkly jacket and a fake tan. Darian may not be an intellectual giant, but he's hysterically funny, and he's got the courage to challenge Ash to live again.

While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Summary
Once upon a time, a brave knight rescued a young man. Unfortunately, he then spent the next few years bossing the young man around and treating him like a child.
Milo has been burying himself at Chi an Mor, hiding from the wreckage of his once promising career and running from a bad relationship that destroyed what little confidence he had. Niall, his big brother’s best friend, has been there for him that entire time. An arrogant and funny man, Niall couldn’t be any more different from the shy and occasionally stuttering Milo, which has never stopped Milo from crushing wildly on the man who saved him.
However, just as Milo makes the decision to move on from his hopeless crush, he and Niall are thrown into close contact, and for the first time ever, Niall seems to be returning his interest. But it can never work. How can it when Milo always needs rescuing?
From the best-selling author of the Mixed Messages series comes a story about a man who needs to write his own happily ever after.
This is the second book in the Finding Home series, but it can be listened to as a standalone.
Content warning: There are descriptions of domestic abuse in this book.

Well Worth It!
Definitely not disappointed with this second instalment of the Finding Home series.
Just like mixed messages, everything happens in Devon & Cornwall - just shows how the bright lights of London with over 8.83 million people, (according to 2017 consensus), as full of life as it may appear, one can feel more alone than in a small country village.
There’s definitely more sense of community than in a major city - I speak from experience 😊
This book, like Oz, shows how community rallies round for it’s ‘locals’ - of course no village would be a village without the resident busybody/bigot, but you know who they are and sadly that’s life - can’t have it all 😆
This audiobook is a pleasure to listen to, well written and had me in stitches on lots of occasions, as well as the harsh reality of verbal and psychological abuse in relationships. It’s great how Ms Morten researches and profiles her characters and Mr JL compliments and miraculously brings each character to life - as well as cameo appearances from Oz and Silas - with the usual sass and sarcasm that any National Society of Sarcasm would make him an honorary member or even president.
This is an excellent second instalment and can’t wait for Gideon’s story next.

4.5*
Trigger warning - Domestic violence in the prologue and it's aftermath. This is the second book in the finding home series, we get Milo's backstory and it's not a happy one, it has left scars which can't be seen. Naill sees Milo at his worst and helps nurse him to health.
This is a book with hurt/comfort themes along with a very sweet romance, a couple who on the outside seem so different. It also has Lily Morton's trademark snarky banter and the ability to make me laugh which is why she is a must read for me.
I loved these characters in the first book and reading/listening to their story, their coming together despite their trust issues and how they work through insecurities just makes me love them more.

Another 5 Star Listen
Yet again, Lily Morton and Joel Leslie have a great collaboration in the audio version of Milo, the second in the Finding Home series. Fans of Oz (and who isn't a fan of Oz??) will fondly remember Milo and Naill. Milo really intrigued me in Oz, and I was really excited to see his story. Milo is a lot quieter, but has the occasional moment of snark - you really get to see him develop in his book. Milo has had a tough past, despite being having a loving family and friends. Between childhood difficulties and a bad relationship, he is understandably a bit timid of further relationships, or exploring outside the comfortable nest he has made for himself at Chi an Mor. However, his attraction to the bold, outspoken and take charge Naill push him to not only test his limits, but to venture outside his shell. The book is delightfully British, with lots of dry wit, and wonderful accents. Leslie does a really good job of creating unique and accurate voices for the various characters. The audio is professionally done, and well paced. I noticed no errors, and all of this combined made it a really enjoyable audio experience.

What a lovely story, lily morton is hilarious as usual.
Between Oz the first book and this I do prefer Oz. The character of Oz is so funny and how Joel performed him was amazing in both books.
Worth the spend to find out how the lives are developing. I will be using my next credit for Gideon.

This book is great, 5 stars, highly recommend. M/M romance set in Cornwall, UK, follows on from Oz
Joel Leslie's narration has me in awe as he navigates several accents within accents of multiple characters, this is a listen of a book I read before so I knew I would enjoy it.
However I don't know why I can only give one star, I have noticed this with a few audible books in this genre, I hope it is just a bug that will be remedied soon.

"I'm starting to remember who I was
I was before you convinced me I was worthless" - Healthy Place.
I feel like this quote defined Milo and the trauma he went through with his ex. I'm not sure if there was any physical abuse but the psychological damage he endured was evident. He was a ghost of the person he used to be but he was rescued by Niall and finally able to heal. It was sad to see how jumpy and out of place Milo always seemed. Oz was a great influence and you get to see a cute, snarky side of Milo shine through with the love, patience and kindness of his family and friends. That being said this story fell flat for me. I loved the narration by Joel Leslie, it was great and he really brought out all the characters brilliantly. However, like I said the story was just missing something. It is not a book I would re-listen to again, not my cup of tea. I also didn't like that Niall was first in a situationship with Gideon then decided that Milo was his person. Keeping it in the family really rings true here *cringe*. I also didn't love how Gideon was represented as a completely intolerable character because if my brother was intimate with my sort of ex, I'm not sure how kind I would have been either. At least the jealousy was realistic even though some of the things said were cringe worthy at best. In the end I'm happy I listened to it and got Milo and Niall's story it was worth it for that reason.

Another great story by Lily, humour, warmth, great characters, issues which are handled well.
We meet Milo, who was a side character in book one, he has a recent past that includes abuse.
Nial rescues Milo and rakes him to Chi an Mor in Cornwall. This is where we met them both in book one.
This book is full of humour, love and a happy ever after.
The narration is funny and light. The accents are great and make the book so much better.
Well worth the read/listen. A must have.

Beautiful and Snarky Romance
Lily Morton is the queen of snark and banter. This is only the second book I’ve read by her, and it had me laughing out loud and completely wrapped up in the story. This is the second book in the Finding Home series, and although it can be read as a standalone, I highly suggest reading “Oz” first since there are overlapping characters.
Milo is a shy and soft-spoken young man with a painful past. Living and working at the Chi an Mor estate has given him the stability he’s needed to overcome the abuse he suffered at his ex-boyfriend’s hands. Niall, one of the estate managers at Ch an Mor, and a family friend of Milo’s, knows there is so much more to the timid, young man. When an unfortunate accident takes Oz and Silas away from Chi an Mor, Milo and Niall find themselves rooming together while taking care of a baby. This closeness is exactly what they need for a romance to begin to bloom between the two of them.
There were a few plot lines in this book, but they were all well done and interlaced with each other seamlessly. The pacing was well done, and all the events of the book moved naturally from moment to moment. I absolutely adored the character growth that Milo and Niall experienced, and the magnetic attraction they had for each other. There was plenty of snark, clever banter, and really hot and sexy bedroom scenes. There was honestly not one part of this book that I did not look and did not enjoy.
Joel Leslie narrated the audiobook and did superb job, like always. His English accents are incredibly sexy, and each character’s voice was unique and consistent. I’m an American listener, and I had absolutely no trouble following along. The audiobook production was high quality and there were no quality issues that would jar a listener out of the story. In fact, I could barely stop listening to this audiobook because I was so engrossed in the story.
I can’t recommend this book—heck, this entire series—enough. If you want witty dialogue, sexy characters, and tender, heart-melting romance, then this is definitely the book for you.

I fell in love with Milo and Niall, the MC, when they were first introduced in OZ , book 1 of Finding Home series. Their personal growth, relationship development and journey to HEA was a satisfying and enjoyable tale to listen/read.
MILO it's filled with wonderfully and vividly detailed descriptions of Cornwall , the surrounding English countryside and the enchanting of Chi an Mor manor.
Moving, enthralling, humorous, provocative, stirring witty , snarky , emotional , hot AF, heartfelt, comes to mind when I think about this book.
Joel Leslie delivered an animated and passionate narration. And as always his comedic timing is perfect.
Re-listen/read: Yes
Recommend: Yes

Love it!!
I couldn’t wait till this book came out on Audible. I loved reading it and couldn’t wait to listen to Joel narrate it. Love Milo. Comes in broken and brings himself back to full life with the love of Niall and Oz and the rest of their crazy family. This series will be one of those I will listen to over and over again.

Fluffy feels, supportive partners
Despite starting off with an abusive situation, and coping with the aftermath throughout, this story is mostly feel good fluffiness. Relatively low angst. Niall & Milo get good support & advice from friends, which is always pleasant. It’s a nice way to spend a few hours.
Where it fell out for me was the brother situation. I don’t even think it was squicky, I just didn’t think it was handled all that well. I thought Niall waking up to Milo as a love interest was fine. But the timing wrt the brother was not cool. First, your bff should be a bigger factor in your life, or thoughts, than the neighbors are. We didn’t see that friendship in POV or in action much, if at all, until Niall did a 180 in merely one month & finally noticed Milo. The brothers as lovers didn’t overlap, only by a mere hair’s breadth. Gideon shows up thinking he’s a FWB & walks in to surprise denial of services. Awkward. A bff with bennies who reverts to just bff should get a warning.
Then, I think not enough later focus was on the fact that Milo had loved Niall for many years. Specifically the line “I’ve only just found [true love]” should have been “I’ve only just got him to realize he loves me too” or some such line that acknowledged the extent of their history. Make the lines & thoughts fit the timeline. Smallish details like this made Milo’s characterization feel generic despite most of the book being focused on him.
Not to mention, there’s a whole ski vacation that was a toxic mess. And while it absolutely sounds like the kind of battleground nastiness one might find with entitled rich brats, and was a little funny, it was a lot of time spent with jerks. Why prolong readers seeing that whole mess when Milo could call up Oz and be “I hate it here but refuse to surrender ground” so we get more time with sane characters? Yeah, he kind of talks to his brother at the chalet, but again, I didn’t find how it was handled satisfactory. Ymmv, but we have brother Gideon who has been a casual bed buddy for 15(?) years getting tossed over for his brother in a month. Gideon goes from being kind of ok with the change to rather possessive to okayish/not-ok, sorry/not-sorry. He oscillated back and forth making him an unpredictable meanie or sympathetic friend with no warning or context to predict which mood Milo would confront. And I get that Gideon was hurt, and that’s fair, because even casual flings of long standing are important emotionally, but I didn’t see anyone helping him deal, they only focused on how it affected Milo, then expected Gideon to just drop it on command. That wasn’t really very kind. And what I like about these stories is that they prioritize kindness, so this brother dynamic was out of place. It didn’t need a lot to fix what bothered me, another editing pass might have done it. Maybe it was left in flux because the next book is Gideon’s? But I became less invested in the characters and story after the real housewives ski trip nonsense. (And Thomas’s poor date needed to be given a warning & the details for the WholeManDisposalService, should he want out.)
Story arc wise, Milo grew a lot, Niall merely flipped a switch, and both did Milos’s brother a little dirty. There was good detail arcing with Dotty the cat, the fun run, the living space transition, Milo’s job & growth, and Cora, so the arc with the bff not having the same finesse as the cat stood out. Niall put no work into extricating himself from Gideon or growing as a person. He was a good guy for Milo and kind of a blank otherwise. But the guys do love and support each other, have friends and skills, and get their groove on, so it’s not a bad time. Book 2 was not as good/engaging as book 1 but I’ll still get book 3.
Steam: Medium. Milo needs to get over past shaming, and whatever his faults, critically, Niall never fails Milo emotionally in the boudoir. It’s safe all the way. M/M discovery/recovery sexytimes worked pretty well, even when starting out accompanied by grim shadows. (The ghosts were busy elsewhere :)
Narration: Same narrator as last book. Good emoting, Didn’t try so hard for specific regional accents this time which made the narration a little smoother. Didn’t stand out for wrong reasons this time. Sound quality was good.

MILO!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lily has become one of my favorite authors to read. Not only do I fall so hard for her characters she has their setting in a beautiful place. Each story I keep loving more and more
I could not be happier to have Milo and Niall finally find their happiness and home within each other. They are perfect.
Niall is such a loving and supportive guy. He is exactly what Milo needed but didn’t see as fast as we did.
I love the banter. I love the banter with Oz and Silas and no one is cuter than Cora Bora. LOL.
Go read this book. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry, I sure did and you’ll fall in love with them all. Let’s just say they are truly a family.
Being on the next book. I don’t want to wait. Lol
Joel Leslie does a perfect performance with accents and distinction between characters. PERFECTION

lovely
Milo's story is very different than Oz's, but a good one nonetheless, and Joel Leslie voices both Milo and Niles well. Solid HEA.

And another brilliant one!
Milo and Niall are the stuff of dreams together. The way they find this out for themselves is put down in this wonderful book, brilliantly narrated by Joel Leslie. I can't recommend this series enough. Now I'm eagerly awaiting the story of Gideon, Milo's actor brother.

I fell in love with Milo is Oz’s book. I was so happy to get his backstory. It was not what I thought it was going to be at all. There were lots of surprises in this book including Milo’s brother Gideon. I laughed and well I cried too but over all, I smiled so much my face hurt.
I love Lily Morton’s words. Her books are always clever,sexy and funny.
Joel Leslie really brought this book to life for me and it was an amazing take on Milo. Loved it!

Milo & Niall
I loved Milo and Niall’s story! Ive been loving the Finding Home series and I was so excited when Milo came up in audio. Joel Leslie has done such an amazing job narrating Lily’s men for me. He did an amazing job with Milo and he drew me into the story right from the beginning. My heart went out to Milo and I found myself wanting to just wrap him up in a big hug. I loved seeing him grow and find himself throughout the story. I loved Niall too. His devotion to Milo jumped off the page at you, and I love how he encouraged Milo to spread his wings and fly. This was a fantastic friends to lovers story, with a dose of forced proximity which pushed their friendship into the next level. Their story had a bit of forced proximity, great humor, sexy times and a great plot line that kept me intrigued the whole way through. I can’t wait for Gideon’s audio!
