Publisher's Summary

Gideon Ramsay is so far in the closet he should be a talking faun.

A talented, mercurial, and often selfish man, Gideon has everything he should want in life. Fame, money, acting awards - he has it all. Everything but honesty. At the advice of his agent, Gideon has concealed his sexuality for years. But it’s starting to get harder to hide, and his increasingly wild behavior is threatening to destroy his career. Then, he’s laid low by a serious illness and into his life comes Eli Jones.

Eli is everything that Gideon can’t understand. He’s sunny tempered, friendly, and optimistic. Even worse, he’s unaffected by grumpiness and sarcasm, which forms 90 percent of Gideon’s body weight. And now, Gideon is trapped with him without any recourse to the drugs and alcohol that have previously eased his way through awkward situations.

However, as Gideon gets to know the other man, he finds himself wildly attracted to his lazy smiles and warm, scruffy charm that seem to fill a hole inside Gideon that’s been empty for a long time. Will he give in to this incomprehensible attraction when it could mean the end of everything that he’s worked for?

From the best-selling author of the Mixed Messages series comes a story about a man who needs to realize that being true to yourself is really just a form of finding home. This is the third book in the Finding Home series, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I really enjoyed the storyline and how it intertwined with Oz and Milo. I hope there are more. Joel Leslie always does a great job of narration. Thanks Lily Morton.

sweet epilogue

Gideon is so different to his brother Milo - he’s much more inclined towards being grumpy, and can appear very brash at times. He is so much more likeable in this instalment of the series though, as the reader gets the opportunity to understand him more and why he is the way he is.

Eli is of course his opposite - very easy going, and really just the perfect match for grumpy Gideon. So happy there was more of Gideon & Milo together throughout Gideon, I really wanted to see more interactions between the brothers, and it was fun seeing the interactions between all the couples in this series when they spend time together. Love the epilogues in this series.

This author/narrator combination is a good one - after initially reading this authors books, I then realised that Joel Leslie narrates all of them available so far, so I couldn't resist listening to them. Joel Leslie performs all the characters so well, and the performances are all very enjoyable to listen to.

Another triumph in this stellar series!

Enfant terrible Gideon Ramsay is an internationally renown actor whose agent has always cleaned up Gideon’s messes and advised him to stay locked in the closet. While Gideon has reaped the rewards of ‘acting straight’, it’s taken a huge personal toll over the years. After sustained neglect of his health, Gideon contracts pneumonia and is unable to fly back to the UK to convalesce. Private nurse Eli Jones accompanies Gideon home on a cruise and discovers a genuinely nice person under the attitude and snark. For his part, Gideon finds in Eli someone that makes him reconsider choices and feel that maybe he’s a worthwhile person after all. Each of the Finding Home books has been about someone finding or regaining their sense of worth, they’ve all been excellent but I think I loved this even more than Oz. The dynamic between Gideon and Eli really worked, both characters had good depth and compelling backstories, and I felt Gideon’s triumphs over his personal demons all the more keenly because he’d been so painful yet vulnerable in Milo’s book. OMG, Joel Leslie’s Welsh voice for Eli was a dream, truly superb, and his audio narration one of his best yet.
