Who better then Jesse?Įspecially when it’s something both men want truthfully anyway. We see the type of relationship Zeb and Jesse have grown into, as well as the potential one that waits if Zeb could allow himself a lessening of the restraints that so tightly bind him.Ī wedding and a promise to be the best man necessitate the need for a fake boyfriend for Zeb. We fall right into a guffaw moment with Jesse and it’s instant love! We then snap forward several years as Jesse ‘s become a mainstay employee at Zeb’s agency, if a bit of a occasionally over exuberant when carrying out his clients wishes.

It’s funny, full of the sparkling dialogue and warm chemistry that draws me over and over into Morton’s stories. Indeed our first meeting with the irrepressible Jesse Reed walks into the offices of Zeb Evans’ employment agency for an unforgettable interview.


So yes, I settled in for a Morton romance.īest Man didn’t let me down. It also was a age gap, no surprise, with humor, again, a usual hallmark of this author, and a curmudgeon of a fellow in need a of a bit of a change in perspective about himself and his path in life. Fake boyfriend trope is a favorite of mine so when I saw a story written by a must read author, Lily Morton, with that as a factor, I was in.
