Dearest Milton James

By: N.R. Walker

Narrated by: Glen Lloyd

Malachi Keogh finds himself in a job he neither wanted nor asked for when his father, boss of Sydney’s postal service, sends him to the end of the business line, a.k.a. the Dead Letter Office. Malachi expects it to be tedious and boring, but instead discovers a warehouse with a quirky bunch of misfit co-workers, including a stoic and nerdy boss, Julian Pollard.

Malachi’s intrigued by Julian at first, and he soon learns there’s more to the man than his boring clothes of beige, tan, and brown; a far cry from Malachi’s hot pink, lilac, and electric blue. Where Julian is calm and ordered, Malachi is chaos personified, but despite their outward differences, there’s an immediate chemistry between them that sends Malachi’s head - and heart - into a spin.

To keep his father happy, Malachi needs to keep this job. He also needs to solve the mystery of the pile of old letters that sits in Julian’s office and maybe get to the bottom of what makes Julian tick. Like everything that goes through the mail center, only time will tell if Malachi has found his intended destination or if he’ll find himself returned to sender.

One of the best feel-good stories...

This is one of the best feel good, low angst stories I've read in a long, long time. I could even see this being a movie. I also laughed out loud quite a few times, and I rare L y do that while reading a book. Just an all over great read. Wish the book was longer because I didn't want it to end!

As for the narration, Glen Lloyd is new to me, but boy did he do this story justice. Perfect narration for these characters, and you never had to guess which one was speaking. I'll definitely be following him to listen to more of his narrations for sure.

I loved this!

There was just the right amount of quirkiness to this story. I loved everything about it and Julian and Malachi were just perfect.

Lovely

It's difficult to be negative about this lovely story, great characters, narrator nailed it.

Soooo Good!

Glen Lloyd’s narration just elevated this delightful novel y N.R. Walker, one of my favorite authors. Writing this review on my second listen, and am wiping tears off my cheek while commenting. Really needed a low angst, deliciously sexy, and good humored read. Perfect in every way!

Perfect!

This is just the no angst feel good story I needed! I am a huge fan of NR Walker’s stories and Glen Lloyd’s narration added just the right touch to this already perfect tale.
