Dearest Milton James (Dearest Milton James #1)

Another book off my Kindle wish list... N.R. Walker's "Dearest Milton James."

["Malachi Keogh finds himself in a job he neither wanted nor asked for when his father, boss of Sydney’s postal service, sends him to the end of the business line, aka The Dead Letter Office. Malachi expects tedious and boring but instead discovers a warehouse with a quirky bunch of misfit co-workers, including a stoic and nerdy boss, Julian Pollard.

Malachi’s intrigued by Julian at first, and he soon learns there’s more to the man than his boring clothes of beige, tan, and brown; a far cry from Malachi’s hot pink, lilac, and electric blue. Where Julian is calm and ordered, Malachi is chaos personified, but despite their outward differences, there’s an immediate chemistry between them that sends Malachi’s head—and heart—into a spin.

To keep his father happy, Malachi needs to keep this job. He also needs to solve the mystery of the pile of old letters that sits in Julian’s office and maybe get to the bottom of what makes Julian tick. Like everything that goes through the mail centre, only time will tell if Malachi has found his intended destination or if he’ll find himself returned to sender."]

Opposites Attract? Yes. Forbidden Romance? Yes. Sun-Shine and Grump? Yes. 

These two were so damn good. They just...who knew that color-coding outfits was like a thing? Malachi did that's for damn sured (and eventually Julian). 

I just, I loooooooove Malachi. He has nervous-babble-syndrome. He feels awkward or uncomfortable and talks and talks and talks. And Julian listens (and always knows he's nervous and is just there). And Malachi loves color and color coordinating his hair to match his outfit to match his shoes. And he's a happy, bright, bratty twink (and Julian is the slightly grumpy, waking up from a heartbreak coma, beige protector) and fuck, these two are too damn much for me. They siriusly remind me of Wolfstar, so that could be the reason behind my obsession with them.

And then the subplot of the Dear Milton James letters?! GAHHHH D: :D 

Trigger Warnings (not on the page, but mentioned): workplace sexism, bullying, period-related homophobia, etc
