Stan has never let his blindness hold him back, but he’s beginning to realise his love life is keeping him from moving forward.

He can’t remember a time when he wasn’t in love with his best friend. Rafferty is everything to him—his partner in crime, his confidante, and the person who understands him best. But Rafferty is incapable of reciprocating Stan’s feelings.

As a successful wedding planner, Rafferty is passionately committed to helping newlyweds begin their happily-ever-afters, but after a rootless childhood he’s equally determined not to seek his own. How can he trust in love and marriage when so many of his brides and grooms are repeat customers?

Stan is the glue that keeps the pieces of Rafferty’s life together, and as such Rafferty has always kept Stan safely in the friend box where he can’t lose him. However, lately that conviction has wavered and now Rafferty is bursting with complicated feelings for his best friend. The timing couldn’t be worse because Rafferty has realised he’s in love with Stan just as Stan is moving on.

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a friends-to-lovers story about realising you have the perfect man when you’re on the brink of losing him.This is the second book in the bestselling Confetti Hitched series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Sam and Rafferty are just a sweet couple of guys, roommates, and longtime best friends and are so besotted with each other, but so scared to admit it. I just loved them.

Rafferty is easygoing, a bit impulsive, wild, and often finds himself in precarious situations, but somehow in his job as a wedding planner, he seems to pull it all together in the most unique ways. But due to his past, he feels like he can’t trust in love. He values his friendship with his best friend, Sam so much that he’s afraid to truly let him out of the friendship box and risk the chance of losing him.

Sam is blind, but he’s very independent, social, clever, snarky, determined, adventurous, and well-liked. He doesn’t let his blindness stop him, and runs his own business. But he is scared of letting Rafferty know that he’s been in love with him for a long time.

They complicated the situation by letting themselves enjoy a physical relationship for a couple months, but it stopped when Sam got another boyfriend. And now as Sam seems like he might be moving on, Rafferty is starting to realize what he has to lose. But Sam just wants to have a loving stable relationship and he knows that’s not something that Rafferty has ever really wanted. So these two are kind of clueless and in denial, even though everyone around them knows that they belong together.

They were just so perfect together, and it was so obvious that they were each other’s favorite person and soulmate. But they were also so oblivious to what was really going on and how the other was feeling. And when you throw in external factors, miscommunication, secrets,  and other people it just makes it more complicated.

They were vulnerable with each other in all aspects of their lives, but they were just so afraid of losing each other that sharing their innermost true feelings was the hardest thing of all. And poor Raff is so full of self-doubt about his own capacity for being in a real, loving relationship.

They are each other’s strongest ally, truly see the other person for who they are, and then encourage each other to live life fully and on their own terms. Their banter and chemistry is on point and I loved how they cared for each other and thrived in each other's presence. 

There’s a quirky group of friends and coworkers, and it brings back Joe and Lachlan from the first book and 
more wedding shenanigans with the Confetti Hitched team. I am interested in the boss, Jed'story





I moan despairingly when I see the time. “It’s ten o’clock. Oh god.”
“Is there a problem?”
Instead of answering, I tap a familiar number on my phone’s screen. “Come on, come on,” I mutter, pacing as I listen to it ring. “Climb off Lachlan’s dick and answer the phone.”
“Who are you talking to, sweetheart?”
The call connects. “What?” Joe says cautiously into my ear. I can’t begrudge him his air of worry.
“I need a favour.”
He groans. “Last time you said that we got fined for causing a public disturbance.”
“No, this time it’s really bad,” I whisper. “I need you, Joe.”
“Joe?” the man asks from behind me. “Who the fuck is Joe?”
“Who’s that?” Joe asks.
“No one,” I say over the insistent voice of the man who is now frowning at me—the man who appears to think we’re married.
“It doesn’t sound like no one,” Joe says, his voice rich with amusement as my bedmate paces the room and shouts about people who cheat.
“Well, it is,” I say in a quelling voice. “Joe, I’ve got the Hollis wedding today.”
“Yeah, I know. You’ll be fine.”
“That might be true if I’d gone to bed at an early hour in my own bed. Sober,” I add with emphasis.
“Oh god,” Joe says.
I walk back into the bedroom. “I know,” I whisper. “I woke up naked, and apparently, I’m now in some sort of a relationship I have no memory of agreeing to. I leave that sort of behaviour to you, mate.” Joe laughs. “This is serious,” I hiss. I look at my watch and groan. “The bride will arrive at the church in an hour.”
I look over at my bedmate, who’s joined me in the bedroom and is still frowning. I ask him, “I don’t suppose you have a spare morning suit hanging around?”
“I don’t know any dead people,” he snaps.

Confetti Hitched #1
Joe Bagshaw doesn’t believe in love or marriage anymore, which is rather a hindrance for a wedding planner.

His own marriage was a whirlwind affair that ended before the ink could dry on the wedding certificate. Nevertheless, even with his divorce pending, he’s getting by. Or at least he was until he finds himself snowed in at a remote Scottish hotel with the wedding party from hell, a terrible ABBA tribute band, and his soon-to-be ex-husband.

Lachlan has missed Joe from the second his husband walked away. He wants Joe back and is prepared to do anything to get him. Being snowed in together seems to offer the chance Lachlan needs, but does he have what it takes to get Joe to trust in love and their marriage again?

From bestselling author Lily Morton, comes a romantic comedy about love, matrimony, and the best of second chances.

This is the first book in the Confetti Hitched series.
