2nd re-listen.
In a continuation of trying to reach my happy place and not blow up in people's faces immediately after finishing Deal Maker I started Oz.... starting to calm down considerably.... I mean after the Oz and Silas driving lessons, so much laughter relaxes. 

---------------------------

I was really having a bad week in terms of reading/listening and then I got my credit from audible and raced to get Oz.

Lily's amazing story that just takes you on a journey that never tires, never bores, never even hesitates together with Joel Leslie's narration that colors and intonates even more everything to life make a 9hr listen seem like it lasted a minute or so.

Revisiting Oz with the memorable scenes of stuffing Silas in a closet, the driving lesson, Oz and Silas's first date, the before (going up 17 floors and the using the flower bouquet as a crutch) and after Silas meeting Oz's mom, their game of strip bowling.... so much fun, laugh, lust and love.

I still hate Olivia though and she got a way gentler tongue lashing than she deserved. And now I feel bereft and I wish Oz and Silas were getting a 2nd book 'cos darn it all I miss them!

Après un rendez-vous plus ou moins loupé avec Henry & Ivo, j'étais curieuse de voir si j'allais retrouver la plume haute en couleur de Lily Morton qui m'avait tant séduite dans les deux premiers tomes de sa précédente série. Eh bien, oui !

Les premières pages donnent immédiatement le ton, et on découvre en Oz un sacré tourbillon, le genre de mec qui dans la vraie vie doit être épuisant ! Ce mec est une tornade, il a l'art et la manière de dégainer LA réplique qui tue, c'est le genre de gars à remettre les gens à leur place sans que ceux-ci n'aient la moindre idée de ce qui va leur tomber dessus. Son entretien d'embauche vaut son pesant de cacahuètes !! Oz va se montrer efficace et très dévoué dans son nouvel emploi, il va porter à bout de bras cette restauration de la propriété de Silas, alors que sur le papier, il n'a rien du candidat idéal. Oz va pourtant gagner tous les cœurs, et réussir brillamment son challenge, tout en prenant également soin du maître des lieux.

Silas, lui, c'est l'incarnation même de la force tranquille. Un mec bien, gentil, attentif et dévoué aux autres, qui veut plaisir à tout le monde et se coupe en quatre pour satisfaire les gens, en s'oubliant au passage. Pour autant, Silas n'est pas une carpette, il est déterminé, et peut lui aussi se montrer très direct. Comme Oz, j'ai trouvé très sexy le côté "bestial" et autoritaire dont Silas fait preuve dans l'intimité. ^^

Ils forment un beau couple ; la romance est complice, chaude, romantique et tendre. Ils se complètent à merveille, ainsi que le souligne Ivo, chacun apportant à l'autre ce dont il a véritablement besoin.

Les personnages secondaires sont très chouettes aussi, notamment Niall & Milo qui valent des points et qui, j'en suis sûre, nous réservent de beaux moments à venir ! Sympa aussi de retrouver Henry & Ivo, de les voir enfin apaisés.

Une lecture très agréable donc, portée par une plume parfois hilarante, car oui, on se marre en lisant ce bouquin, certaines répliques étant complètement barrées !! Et le nom des chiens ... Bref, j'ai passé un super moment en Cornouailles, et j'adorerais séjourner chez le Comte et sa famille !! ♥

Beautiful love story

I hate romance novels but this one was more. It was true to the human heart and I couldn't put it down. Thank you for this because it's so rare

This book is such a lighthearted read. I finished it in a day and can’t wait to read the rest of the series. 

The last line of the book being  a wizard of oz quote was such a cute way to end it. There truly is not place like home.

Omg Oz is SUCH an awesome character. That wit, that snark, omg. And I loved Silas' character as well with all his animal love and overall sweetness.

The story itself was super sweet and I loved reading it.
