Charlie Sunshine by Lily Morton

Close Proximity, Book 2

Sometimes love is a lot closer to home than you think.

Charlie Burroughs can’t keep a man. All he wants is a good relationship like the ones he sees his friends having, but none of the men he picks ever work out. Despite him trying to be the perfect boyfriend, the men are either threatened by his looks or his epilepsy or a combination of the two. It’s lucky that he has his best friend Misha to turn to. The two of them are closer than peas in a pod and fiercely loyal to each other. He can’t imagine his life without Misha in it.

Misha Lebedinsky is the complete opposite of his best friend. Being the support system for his mum and twin sisters leaves Misha with neither the time nor the inclination for a relationship. Quick and frequent hook-ups are his favourite means of communication and any other pesky emotional needs he has are met by Charlie, who he’s devoted to. He lives a life of happy compartmentalization with no intention of ever changing.

All of this changes when the two best friends move in together.

Being in close proximity means that they suddenly start to see each other in a very different light. But Charlie struggles when his drive to be the perfect partner clashes with the fact that he’s in love with a man who knows every little thing about him. And even if he can get past that, can a relationship ever work with a man who’d need a dictionary to tell him what love means?

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a love story about a sunny librarian who has relationship written all over him and a banker who doesn’t even have it in his blurb. This is the second book in the Close Proximity series, but it can be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW

Charlie and Misha are a pair of opposites. Best friends for years who have never been anything but just friends. Until they become roommates and suddenly each is looking at the other in decidedly more than friendly ways. Much more sexy ways than friends only. But can a commitment phobe who's never dated and a sweet caretaker make the turn to more and manage to still be friends if it all goes south?

Well I'm very happy to say that yes, Charlie and Misha very successfully manage to do just that. With witty snark, laughs, serious smolder, and lots and lots of love.

Lily Morton wrote on of my favorite romances, Rule Breaker, so I knew going into it that I'd love the writing here in Charlie Sunshine. Though a very different vein with two different kinds of characters than in Rule Breaker, I love Charlie Sunshine almost as much as I do Rule Breaker. Charlie and Misha are quite simply adorable and sweet and were just waiting to fall in love with each other. Their friends even had bets going as to when they'd wake up and realize they were in love with each other. Sounds like a match made in heaven!

Excerpt

I bite my lip to stop my litany of complaints and watch Charlie put some bread in the toaster. He looks around the kitchen with a puzzled look on his face.

“Misha, where’s your compost box?” he asks in a concerned voice.

I blink. “My what box?”

He turns to face me. “The box for your kitchen waste. It helps with recycling.”

“You look a bit possessed when you use the word recycling, Charlie. Makes me want to cross myself.”

“It’s very important,” he says earnestly. “We have to do our bit for the future of the planet.” He stares at me. “So where is it?”

“In one of the cupboards? Who knows?” I hold up my hands in defence. “Until you came to live here, I never had any kitchen waste. Not unless you count vodka bottles.” I hesitate. “Do you count vodka bottles?” I ask hopefully and slump when he slowly shakes his head. “Damn, I really thought for a second that I’d been an ecowarrior and never realised.”

He looks at me pityingly. “I’ll ring the council and get some more recycling boxes. We’ll be doing the right thing before you know it.”

“Great,” I say faintly.

He turns back to the toast, probably happily secure in the knowledge that this is only the first in the many lectures he has in store for me.
