About this audiobook
Bow ties are cool . . . but secrets, not so much.
Behind Robert Emeny’s cheerfully eccentric exterior lies a young heart battered and bruised by his past. He’s taken a job in a village primary school to make a fresh start, and love isn’t part of his plans. But then he’s knocked for six—literally—by a chance encounter with the uncle of two of his pupils.
Sean Grant works in pest control, lives on a council estate, and rides a motorbike. Robert is an ex–public schoolboy from a posh family who drives a classic car. On the face of it, they shouldn’t have anything in common. Yet Robert can’t resist Sean’s roguish grin, and passion sparks between them even after an excruciatingly embarrassing first date.
Too bad the past Robert’s hiding from is about to come looking for him. His increasingly ludicrous efforts to keep his secrets are pushing Sean away—but telling the truth could make Sean leave him for good.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The working bloke and the semi-posh academic – an English village romance (with bow ties!)JL Merrow gives us a another simple, semi-geeky, English romance, this one focused on a recently-arrived educated, “semi-posh” teacher who falls for a sexy, working-class bloke. At its core, this is a mostly sweet and tender story that will have appeal to Anglophiles, cross-class romance enthusiasts, Doctor Who aficionados, and, most especially, bow tie lovers. That being said, the narration centers on the attraction, vulnerabilities, and insecurities of “Emsy” (Rob), and readers who find his yearnings and fears to be compelling should find this to be an entertaining and endearing romance. However, those who find a geeky character’s self-sabotage because of his insecurities and past betrayals to be annoying may not be as appreciative.There was a fair amount of erotic tension built, although overall there was relatively little sex (and most of it was off-book), but several “missed” opportunities that built the sexual tension led to an erotic scene that was quite enticing (especially for fans of bow ties).
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was light and sweet, if not braced upon the backbone of dishonesty. Anyway it kept me entertained until the end and I like the narrator quite a lot.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I laughed until I cried at various points in this book. Merrow and I share a sense of humor. I mean, how can you hate a book with a line like this: "I took a bite of almond croissant, which, I decided, was the crack cocaine of baked goods"?Or how about, "Fordy's always rather exuberant brows had now entirely met in the middle, like a couple of very small, coy ferrets exchanging a kiss"?Brilliant!If you want to add a dash of happy to your day, pick up this book. Now.
