Rule-Breaker (Mix Messages #1)


As promised, here's me binge-reading through yet another author. This time, we have Lily Morton's Mix Messages series. The first novel is titled "Rule-Breaker."

["Is it really wrong to want to murder your boss?

Dylan has worked for Gabe for two years. Two long years of sarcastic comments. Two long years of insults, and having to redo the coffee pot four times in the mornings to meet his exacting standards.

Not surprisingly he has devoted a lot of time to increasingly inventive ways to murder Gabe. From stabbing him with a cake fork, to garrotting him with his expensive tie, Dylan has thought of everything.

However, a chance encounter opens his eyes to the attraction that has always lain between them, concealed by the layers of antipathy. There are only two problems - Gabe is still a bastard, and he makes wedding planners look like hardened pessimists.

But what happens when Dylan starts to see the real Gabe? What happens when he starts to fall in love with the warm, wary man that he sees glimpses of as the days pass?

Because Gabe is still the same commitment shy, cold man that he’s always been, or is he? Has Dylan had the same effect on Gabe, and has his solid gold rule of no commitment finally been broken? With his heart taken Dylan desperately needs to know, but will he get hurt trying to find the answers?]

Don’t let the blurb lie to you. Dylan fell fast. Damn, that boy was half in love with his boss before the book even began. 

Gabe? He…didn’t want to feel what he already felt. The misunderstandings and the arrangements and everything in between just made those feelings even more complicated and deep and unwanted. It was totally anxiety enduring (no breathing, heart stopping, complete sobbing).

Recommend. With tissues and hot cocoa and a complete understanding that sometimes we hurt the ones we love the most.
