About this listen

Kiss him, sleep with him, but don’t ever fall in love with him.

The first time Wes Archer steps into Jack of Clubs, an exclusive London pleasure club, he’s completely confident he can heed the tried-and-true advice about becoming an escort. Wes gives himself away for free with casual hookups all the time. Why not make some cash doing what he already loves? And cash is something he desperately needs. His brother’s gambling addiction has taken their family’s home, saddled Wes with insurmountable debts, and compromised his chances for finishing his degree.

Accepting an offer to spend a few hours of fun with a rich bloke will be a simple business transaction, right?

Wrong.

Wes’s first client is Cormac Reilly. The handsome billionaire is grumpy, funny, and commanding in a way that unlocks desires Wes never knew he had. Cormac is icily determined to keep their arrangement strictly business, but that doesn’t stop Wes from finding him fascinating.

As their one-night contract becomes something much more, Wes can’t deny he’s falling for his client. He knows he’s flouting all the rules, but breaking down Cormac’s barriers is an irresistible challenge, and his reward might be the best prize of all — love.

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a passionate love story set in London and Paris about two astonishingly different men and one very pretty mess.

This book was such a delightful find. Absolutely hilarious - found myself smiling through most of it and laughing out loud often. The spice was so sweet and gorgeous. The characters were lovely and light. Chapter 15 is not as scary as I thought it would be and this book was soooo worth it. One of the ones I’ll read again for sure.

Humour, heart and such spice

This book is now another of my Lily Morton favourites! So sweet, very passionate and with enough drama and doubt to keep it from being too light of a read.
Love a snarky character like Wes! The narration was perfection by the one and only incredibly talented Joel Leslie

Perfect!

Brilliant book - British humour and snarky banter, spice, excellent character and relationship development. Five star writing by Lily Morton and also 5 star narration by Joel Leslie.

TW’s: on-page attempted SA but there is a warning, childhood neglect and side character gambling addition.

This is my third Lily Morton novel and I’m about to dive into the whole back catalogue now.

5 very enthusiastic stars.

Pretty Mess is yet another effervescent and delightful love story by the wonderful Lily Morton. Her characters are brought to life with their wit and snarky banter and her stories are tender and unfailingly brilliant. Joel Leslie’s narration always brings that extra sparkle to each story ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding!
