About this listen
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. There are only two problems - Gabe is still a bastard, and he makes wedding planners look like hardened pessimists.
But what happens when Dylan starts to see the real Gabe? What happens when he starts to fall in love with the warm, wary man that he sees glimpses of as the days pass?
Because Gabe is still the same commitment shy, cold man that he’s always been, or is he? Has Dylan had the same effect on Gabe, and has his solid gold rule of no commitment finally been broken? With his heart taken Dylan desperately needs to know, but will he get hurt trying to find the answers?
From the author of The Summer of Us comes another scorchingly hot romantic comedy, showing what happens between two men when rules get broken.

The story just pulls you into it and makes you feel like you are there watching living it all with the characters. Once I started, I just couldn’t stop listening to it one minute you were laughing the next your eyes are welling up because you know how the character feels. And everything this author writes really draws you into it and it’s so well written. It’s just unbelievable.
It gives you hope that real life could be like this, and hopefully one day it will be
Pulled at all your emotions

The story is well written with a good sense of place and lots of British humour.
Overall I enjoyed this story, I liked the banter and disrespectful respect Gabe and Dylan had for each other. Gabe is normally the sort of character that I love, gruff, damaged, with a heart of gold that he guards with an insurmountable wall. He was an arsehole of the highest order and I loved watching the bricks start to crumble as he let Dylan in.
I adored the scenes at the farm but they were tinged with a sense of doom because I knew with Gabe’s issues and the fact I was barely 50% through the book that things would not go well.
And when things went downhill they crashed and burned in a spectacular manner. I cried for a good hour of listening time at around 75% because Gabe was being an arsehole and Dylan was being a doormat. Then I got angry because the author manipulated a situation, making both side and main characters act inconsistently, to the point where another painful row would ensue, with Dylan acting like an arsehole this time. In a book of this length, that anger and pain was too close to the end of the book for the HEA to completely dissolve all of the bad feelings that had sprung up around both of the lead characters. It also annoyed me that since you don’t get Gabe’s POV, it feels as though neither of the characters make an effort to get back together, instead it feels as though their friends and circumstances manipulate them into it and without that interference they never would have got their heads out of their arses. I suspect had we been in Gabe’s POV for the last quarter of the book this wouldn’t have been the case and my feelings and the general angry tone of the book would have been different. The epilogue is nearly an hour long and believe me we need that hour of unrelenting happy, it goes a long way to dispelling the aura surrounding the last part of the book. And we finally get Gabe's POV and it is adorable, a conflicted man who yearns for love but pushes it away at the same time to protect himself, but when he finally allows someone in, wow.
5 stars for the narration. What should have been a 4 star story (even with all the tears), rounded down to 3 because of the manipulated scene that made me really angry to the point I nearly DNF’d. Total overall score 4 stars. Would I recommend it? Yes, probably but be prepared to not love the characters as much as you should.
Excellent narration

I had not previously read the ebook so I didn't have any pre-conceived notions about either Dylan or Gabe. Lily Morton has crafted a wonderfully heart-breaking (at times) tale of the ups and downs of the working then sexual relationship of Gabe, the hard-nosed boss, and his Personal Assistant, Dylan (or should that be administrative assistant these days? I don't really care either way). They have some very nosy, interfering best friends who help them along when the course of not-love doesn't run smoothly any longer. As I got to know the guys, I was rooting for them to get it together and hoping that they might eventually find their Happy Ever After. Highly recommended for all Lily Morton fans, Joel Leslie fans, and any other lovers of well-written MM Contemporary Romance...set in London, my home territory.
Why bend the rules when you can break them all?
