Vow Maker Cover

Blurb

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 colour. 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.

Excerpt

I sigh. Another one bites the dust. At this point in our journey towards matrimony, I’ve said those words so many times I could part-time as a Freddie Mercury impressionist. Gabe looks at me as if expecting me to leap in and save him, but it’s every man for himself. I dealt with the last five wedding planners. It’s his turn.

And I must say it’s a very entertaining use of an hour as I watch Gabe finally meet his match. Helen moves from a vigorous defence of her wedding vision—one that belongs only in a Netflix historical drama—to indignation and, at last, rage. It’s a familiar destination if you’re dealing with Gabe.

Finally, however, she accepts defeat, saying in a very shrill voice, “You will never know marital bliss with that kind of attitude, Mr Foster.” Slinging her pashmina over her shoulder, she exits our house in a cloud of ire and Chanel perfume.

I stretch as Gabe comes back into the room after letting her out. “Helen, one. Gabe, nought.” I mime a tennis swing. “New balls, please.”

“That’s a very mixed metaphor and explains a great deal about your sports knowledge.” The love of my life heads to the cupboard and pulls out a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label. He waggles the bottle at me. “Want one?”

“Now? Isn’t it a bit early?”

“You tell me. Haven’t we got another planner coming in an hour? They’re like excessively happy buses.”

“I’ll have half the bottle,” I say promptly.

A bit of snark on the way to the altar of happiness!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a gorgeous catch up with Gabe and Dylan, full of all the usual snarking between them which is such a character of their relationship.

These two men have captivated me since they first appeared in Lily’s Missed Messages series just like Dylan fascinated Gabe with his sharp tongue and quick wit.

We’ve had brief snippets of their life as bonus scenes in Lily’s newsletter or her Facebook group, but this is the first lengthy visit back into this wonderful world of friendship, of family and all the history that goes before them and I adored it.

It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, at times it reminds you of the difficult upbring Gabe had and how Dylan broke down the heavy walls he’d put up around himself to protect him from more pain. It’s romantic, it’s scorching hot, it’s everything you’d want to read in a book between these two men.

I’m also officially adding my request here for a story for Joe, the wedding planner who turns up drunk as a lord at their first meeting but who clearly is the right man for the job. He’s got an air of sadness that surrounds him and he’s going through a divorce with a man you sense he still loves.

So come on Lily – second chance romance for Joe please!

As for the rest, with all the usual suspects on hand, and a visit to Devon where love just surrounds them all, this is a festive treat in abundance.

For two years I’ve kept Leon Steadman at a safe distance, ever since the night he turned me down flatter than a pancake with a side order of syrupy disapproval. His loss. The world is full of sexy men. One and done is simply good math and efficient use of my time. Or it would be if I hadn’t been lusting after the irritating, judgemental, gorgeous, mountain of a man, ever since.

The less I see of Leon, the better. Bad enough that his tattoo business sits next to Flare, the fashion store I manage, and that he’s friendly with my boss. But now he’s apartment-sitting above the shop, as well. Every time I turn around, Leon is there. In my store. In my space. Messing with my head. Being all nice and charming and acting like maybe he’s not the biggest jerk to walk the earth, after all.

Well, I don’t want or need Leon’s apologies, but maybe if I can have him, just once, it might put an end to this ridiculous hunger that sparks every time I lay eyes on him.

Yeah, I’ll get back to you on that.
