About this listen

Jed Walker thinks he’s having a midlife crisis. The only trouble is that it feels too good to stop.

Widowed at a young age, he’s spent his life since then avoiding any relationships that might end up hurting him again. He has his successful wedding planning business, Confetti Hitched, and a series of uncomplicated hookups, and that’s all he needs in life.

The one person disrupting this controlled stoicism is his younger assistant, Artie. He’s sweet and kind and has a funny way of calming Jed’s mind. So, when Artie comes to him with a problem, Jed moves heaven and earth to help, which is how he finds himself entering a fake marriage with the younger man and catching feelings. Too bad it’s all pretend. Or is it?

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a story about how love can completely derail the best-laid plans.

This is the third book in the Confetti Hitched series, but it can be read as a standalone.

This is a boss x employee to more rom com, featuring Jed and Artie, and is book three in the Confetti Hitched series.

Artie has been Jed’s assistant for a few years and had a crush on him just as long. When Artie’s stepmother passes, in order for him to inherit his family home, there is a clause in the Will, Artie needs to be married. Jed is that good a boss, he volunteers as tribute.

I really liked this story, it was sweet. Jed dealing with the loss of his husband whilst falling for Artie, and struggling that. Artie being completely in love with his boss and thinking nothing would ever happen and them bam - forced proximity, one bed and a whole lot of martial benefits.

I absolutely loved the photo booth scene too, so flipping sweet.
