Home Grown Talent by Sally Malcolm, Joanna Chambers

5.0

---

In book 2 of the Creative Types series by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcom, we get to know Owen, Lewis' older and much more serious brother (Lewis gets his own story in book 1, Total Creative Control), as Owen accidentally ends up hired to appear opposite Mason, Lewis' ex and a model/influencer, in a weekend morning TV show gardening spot. The audio book, narrated fabulously by Simon Goldhill, made me laugh out loud more than once, and made me tear up, as well. Just like the other 2 books in the series, Home Grown Talent features two men needing to grow beyond the ways they've lived, behaved, and loved in the past if they want to move into a future that's more joyful and authentic. Having recently read book 3, Best Supporting Actor, I'm ready to start the series again. Chambers and Malcom are a terrific writing team, and Home Grown Talent is a winner.
