I liked it well enough, not as much as the mixed messages series.
Steam: a number of open door, descriptive scenes

The MC is so adorably charming, and just enough oblivious, to overshadow any faults I could find with the story. Corn, cheese, fluff, and a HEA so precious and sweet, you can expect cavities.

Oh my. I laughed so much. Oz's humor was just the absolute best and I adored everything about this book.

4.5 stars.
Oz was amazing. Silas was also great but Oz just stole the show.
It was nice to see Henry and Ivo popping in and showing that their relationship has thrived.
Now I need a Milo book.
RE-READ. I still love Oz. That is all.

Lovely! I loved the setting and the characters! There’s no angst and only a little drama. Lovely dates and getting to know each other were the focus. Oz and Silas were awesome!
My only complaint (and it didn’t affect rating) was that I don’t think the cover model works for Oz at all.

Lily Morton is one of my favourite authors, her books are so perfect! I love the banter and snark between her main characters and Oz was just full of the usual witty banter and wonderful romance I’ve come to expect from one of her books. Just SO GOOD!

I like Lily Morton. I like that her books are British and her characters are nuanced. I did NOT like the sappy epilogue but I will likely read more in her contemporary romance series. This was a very charming story about Oz finding him place in a he works and Silas finding his perfect match. I can only assume the next installment, Milo, will be equally lovely.

This was sooo good! Lily Morton has yet to let me down and I love that. She always packs the right amount of humor and romance into her books to keep me laughing throughout but also swooning over the romantic couple. Plus there is also some sense of levity, some realism packed into the humor, and I love that.
Because people/situations can be funny in real life without it seeming to be unrealistic (unlike in comedy shows where usually the majority of everything is funny almost all the time). And Oz, who was definitely the funnier of the two, still had his serious moments and more than just humor to him.
I loved Silas too, who I had forgotten at first as being Henry's brother. So this series is somewhat of a spinoff to the Mixed Messages series with that connection.
Oz, who ends a horrible "relationship" (if you can call it that) at the start of the book, is looking for a new job when his best friend Shaun gives him a brochure type thing about a job as a house manager to a Lord in the country, and at first Oz is going to ignore it, but after a conversation with his mother, he changes his mind.
Although he still isn't expecting to get the job, what with his poor upbringing - even though he has the degree the ad for the job said was preferred although not required - and non-posh accent, so he basically just relaxes and is himself, and that means he thinks he botched it up.
But Niall, Silas' friend and the guy interviewing him, likes that he wasn't like all the other people they interviewed, and also saw a potential...ahem, love match between Oz and Silas ;)
And so he hires Oz and of course there IS a total love match between them. Right away there is a connection, and they make each other laugh, they make each other happy.
They try to stay away at first, because Oz already had a shitty experience with a boss right before this, and Silas had been sleeping with the house manager before Oz. But they can't hold out for long, their connection and chemistry is just too great for them to ignore.
I really really enjoyed this story, and Oz and Silas had an amazing connection and they were so sweet together (and HOT between the sheets ;)) and the romance was superb. This really was a romantic comedy and if RC are done well they can be so amazing.
There was some drama but not quite as much as I've seen in previous books by this author - usually near the climax when one or both of the MC's freak out and things go to shit for a bit - and it only last about one night. It was brewing and everything before that, but it wasn't made into this prolonged, melodramatic thing, which I appreciated.
I loved the appearance we got by Henry and Ivo as well, they're just so cute and hot together.
I think the next book is gonna be about Niall and Milo. If it's not then I will be surprised.
Definitely recommend this, for sure! :D
