The Sunny Side

The Model Agency, Book 1

By: Lily Morton

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Jonas Durand is successful, rich, and controlled. He owns a prestigious modelling agency and has the world at his fingertips, but a turbulent childhood has taught him to be focused and never deviate from a plan.

Dean Jacobs threatens that stance. He’s one of the world’s most sought-after supermodels, but he’s also laidback, lighthearted, and free in a way that Jonas has never quite managed.

Dean has always been interested in Jonas, and has never made any secret of his admiration, but from the beginning, Jonas put him in a neat little box labelled, “Don’t touch,” turned the key, and never looked back.

However, the universe seems determined to thwart Jonas’s plans. Over the course of one hot summer, the two men come together, and Jonas’s well-ordered life becomes something a whole lot wilder.

Moving from the glamorous worlds of London and Paris Fashion Weeks to the sleepy South of France, Jonas finds himself liberating partridges, chasing his supermodel, and falling in love.

From best-selling author Lily Morton comes a romantic comedy set in the fast-paced and snarky world of modelling. This is the first book in the Model Agency series.

LOVED IT!

Perfection! I loved the dynamics between Dean and Jonas. They have been dancing around their attraction for way to long. When they finally lower their walls the sparks fly.
Each has feelings of being inadequate, not enough. I loved how Jonas really got to know Dean beyond what appears on the surface. It is way to easy for people to discount Dean and he has allowed and accepted that his entire life.
Of course there are growing pains along the way and mistakes are made.
I really liked how Dean held Jonas accountable in the end and Dean more than stepped up.
There is so much laughter, sparks and sweetness here.
I devoured this book in one sitting and can't wait for more in The Model Agency series!
Joel Leslie does an amazing job of narrating this story.

Absolutely Lovely!

What a simply wonderful book! This was fabulous from start to finish. I absolutely loved Dean and Jonas together. Dean was such a ray of sunshine and he slowly broke through Jonas' rigid exterior as they fell in love. It was just delightful! Joel Leslie is just narrator gold here, bringing Lily Morton's amazing story to life. Loved every minute of it!

A perfect age gap romance ... just as you would expect from Lily Morton. Joel Leslie was fantastic as usual.

Love the snarky banter!

Great read overall with well developed characters. The one thing I disliked is they kept referring to Dean, well into the story as SUPERMODEL! Ok we got it in the first few chapters. Do people in the modeling industry casually hanging out with friends constantly refer to him as supermodel? Kind of annoying....

Joel Leslie does it again!

This book was lovely to listen to. Joel Leslie does a wonderful job narrating this story.
