About this listen

Being in love with your best friend is hard.

Henry’s the odd man out. All his friends are settling down, and his reputation as the hook-up king of London seems more like a curse than a blessing, these days. Especially when it keeps photojournalist Ivo, his best friend and the brilliant man he’s loved since they were 15, at arm’s length. But that’s where Ivo wants him, right? Putting aside his feelings, Henry decides to give up casual sex and look for the real deal.

After all, he has no chance with Ivo. Or, does he?

Henry is everything to Ivo. Best friend, soul mate, the one person who has never let him down. The one person he is loyal to above everything and everyone. But Henry’s in a box marked best friend, and that’s where Ivo’s kept him for nearly 20 years, despite steadily falling in love with the gentle man. And besides, why would Henry want to date Ivo? Burned out and injured, he’s the walking embodiment of damaged.

Distance has helped Henry and Ivo keep a lid on their attraction, but when they find themselves in the same city for a change -Ivo hurt and needing assistance and Henry more than willing to provide it - the two best friends grow closer than ever, forcing a realization and a decision.

Risk their friendship for their hearts? Or can they have both?

From the best-selling author of Rule Breaker and Deal Maker comes a tender love story about two best friends who are perfect for each other, and always have been...if only they knew it. This is the third book in the Mixed Messages series, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Joel Leslie did such an incredible job in bringing one of my favourite books to life. He bought such a wonderful vulnerability into Henry and Ivo- and his Ivo in particular was just spot on! I love, love, loved this, and it will be re listened to many times in the future! 💜

Lily always brings humour but she can also bring us some particularly flawed men who take a while to figure out what’s good for them.  This slow burn is a delightful addition to the series and I adored watching Henry and Ivo come together.

Keep the tissue box handy for this one! The main characters have a lot of pain to deal with and the rather long lead-up to their HEA is sooo worth it.

Another winner

I have a hard time deciding on favourites, and the first two books in this series are hard to beat. But I think Henry might be my favourite character out of all the main characters in the Mixed Messages series. And not just because I can relate to being a feisty redhead.

Phenomenal
