Summary
Pip Simmonds is the twinkiest twink in London. He’s loud, proud, and packed to the brim with sass. But when he’s laid low by illness, even his hotpants lose their sparkle and his worried boss sends him to the South of France to recuperate in his holiday home.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is beautiful, and the periwinkle-blue villa is luxurious, but the real draw for Pip is the villa’s other resident—his boss’s younger brother, Olivier Durand.
Olivier owns a perfume empire and has spent his whole life running from any other form of commitment. He’s worldly, carefree, wild, and the perfect choice for a holiday fling.
Drawn together by proximity, the two men become lovers and friends and then something more. Something special. But will their special bond hold true after summer’s end, when they both must return to their real lives?
This is the second book in the bestselling Model Agency series, but it can be listened to as a standalone.
©2023 Lily Morton (P)2024 Lily MortonThis is Pip and Olivier’s book - it certainly doesn’t disappoint ❤️
It is sweet, heartfelt, snarky, sassy and the humour is sublime as only Lily Morton does.
There are previous characters in the story, Jonas, Dean, Ruby (absolutely hysterical, especially the hair clippers!!!) Still cackling now! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellently narrated as always by Joel Leslie - he amazes me with his ability to understand these characters, their accents and weave and wield the listener to thoroughly enjoy Lily’s writing and story - especially the places, making you believe you’re actually in these places ❤️
Another ‘out of the park’ book for Lily!
I cannot recommend this book enough - although a standalone, I highly recommend you read/listen to Mixed Messages series and follow the Lilyverse throughout - you certainly won’t be disappointed!!
Definitely a 5 🌟 listen for me ❤️🥰
Perfection 👌

Talk about kindred spirits! I don't think I've ever come across two MCs who are as well matched as these two! I felt that to bring Pip and Olivier to life was a labour of love for Lily, it was obvious that they were special to her. You can tell this by the care and attention she gives to both characters, from when they originally met, to when they fatefully come together once again in France. The ending in the airport is fecking epic, to quote Pip and Ruby 😂
Joel is fantastic!

5 stars all around!
Joel Leslie is an amazing narrator when it comes to contemporary stories (I don't have the same experience with his narrations in paranormal/fantasy ones) and he was fantastic here.
Although I was taken aback by the way the word "migraine" was pronounced. I always say it as "maɪ-" (as in eye) and not "mee-" (as in do re mi). Oh well being bilingual in English means that my English is an amalgamation monstrosity of British and American English.
Back to the story, I truthfully enjoyed Pip's vividness and along with Olivier's wonderment and wickedness this was a beautiful romance!
Wonderful MCs, lots of snark and banter balanced perfectly with everyday little moments of happiness and contentment, beautiful imagery of the South of France, lovely side characters and cameos of favorites, hints of pairings to come and a romance for the ages with 2 MCs that had incredible chemistry and complemented each other in the best of ways!!!
Beautiful romance, beautiful imagery
