Summary

What happens when temporary becomes forever? 

Oz Gallagher does not do relationships well. Bored and jobless after another disastrous hook up, he decides to leave London for a temporary job in the wilds of Cornwall. Surely managing a stately home on a country estate will be easier than navigating the detritus of his relationships at home. Six months there will alleviate a bit of his wanderlust and then he can come back to London as footloose and fancy free as the day he left it. 

However, when he gets there, he finds a house in danger of crumbling to the ground and a man who is completely unlike anyone he’s ever met. An earl belonging to a family whose roots go back hundreds of years, Silas is the living embodiment of duty and sacrifice. Two things that Oz has never wanted. He's also warm and funny and he draws Oz to him like a magnet. 

Oz banks on the fact that they're from two very different worlds to stop himself falling for Silas. But what will he do when he realizes that these differences are actually part of the pull to one another? Will falling in love be enough to make him stop moving at last and realize that he's finally home? 

From best-selling author Lily Morton comes a romantic comedy about two very different men and one very dilapidated house. 

This is the first book in the Finding Home series but it can be listened to as a standalone.

I spent ages not wanting to listen, but......

I was fascinated by the mixed messages series and didn't want to move on from them. After my third listen I thought I'd read the info on OZ and noticed a name I was familiar with.
I love the way this series are entwined with the previous and the familiar humor, love and details that Lily Morton is famous for. Then you have the wonderful Joel Leslie narrating. I can never say enough about these two. They make a good team and I will await impatiently for the next book to be released.

"I'd never have guessed that my knight in armor

would come to me later in life when I'd almost forgotten that I needed one. He would be small and fierce and his weapon was the sharpest tongue this side of Ireland. But he was all mine and I, in turn, belonged to him". ~ Silas

I love the way this books begins! It really set the tone and I just knew I would be laughing hysterically throughout the whole thing. It starts with Oz leaving his cheating ex and getting the best revenge. This is the moment I knew that I'd fallen in love with Oz. Then he embarks on an adventure with everything from an absolutely awesome job interview, to getting the building crew back on schedule, and visits from my favorite ghost with the smells of tobacco coming in at the best time. There was never a dull moment and I truly adored that. I was worried that the banter, snark or cute moments would fall flat at some point and they never did. This book was amazing all the way to the end! If you haven't yet had a chance to listen or read this series then you are missing out. Joel Leslie is a brilliant narrator and paired with an incredibly talented author, well, it's like Christmas everytime I listen to this book! *Heart eyes* so darn good!!

Heartwarming story

Really loved it. Came here after reading Boyfriend Material by Alex Hall and it was just as cute and funny! Some super heated parts as well but loved the main character and his sweet partner way too much!

Hilarious and Heartwarming

Lily’s stories never disappoint and Joel’s narration is always on point. I loved every minutes of Oz. The countryside feels warm and dreamy. Oz is wonderful and so deserving of the love he finds. Can’t wait for the next one!

Definitely worth the 5🌟

I absolutely loved this audiobook - it’s definitely going to be my ‘go to audiobook’ if I ever need cheering up!

I adore Oz, if I ever had a best gay friend it would be him - his attitude, sense of humour, quick witted sense of sass/cutthroat sarcasm, we’d be a formidable friends as it sums up me to a tee.
His upbringing is also similar, so was able to empathise with his character and his insecurities and his feelings towards Silas.
Silas is a dream come true. His look, his demeanour etc.. are all the traits of what I’d look for, but like Oz, wouldn’t believe would even be possible.

This audiobook has to be my No:1 of the year so far - I think because I can relate a lot to the main character, and because I haven’t stopped laughing since I started listening. I have listened to this audiobook in one day as just couldn’t stop - definitely ‘the’ audiobook I could listen to over again and one to keep in my repertoire!

Of course, what makes an audiobook is the narrator - the wonderful JL - he is the perfect fit for this series of books, and possibly to most of Lily Morton’s books, like the ‘Mixed Messages’ series - he’s just ‘perfect’ for them.

I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next instalment ‘Milo’ - now this is going to be interesting 😉
Hopefully won’t have to wait too long for it to be released in audiobook format.

One of my favourite audiobooks ever……

Firstly I love the story, I love the characters and Joel Leslie brings the whole thing alive, I have no idea how many times I’ve listened to this book, but it’s my go to comfort blanket when I’m having a crappy day, it never fails to cheer me up.

Laughed so much

This book is so funny, but a lovely love story. Lily Morton’s characters are so funny. And Joel Leslie is fantastic. Can’t recommend these books enough particularly if you like to laugh.
