Summary
Pip Simmonds is the twinkiest twink in London. He’s loud, proud, and packed to the brim with sass. But when he’s laid low by illness, even his hotpants lose their sparkle and his worried boss sends him to the South of France to recuperate in his holiday home.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is beautiful, and the periwinkle-blue villa is luxurious, but the real draw for Pip is the villa’s other resident—his boss’s younger brother, Olivier Durand.
Olivier owns a perfume empire and has spent his whole life running from any other form of commitment. He’s worldly, carefree, wild, and the perfect choice for a holiday fling.
Drawn together by proximity, the two men become lovers and friends and then something more. Something special. But will their special bond hold true after summer’s end, when they both must return to their real lives?
This is the second book in the bestselling Model Agency series, but it can be listened to as a standalone.

Joel is fantastic!
Just finished this, the book was lovely, the audible is even better. Joel Leslie does Pip and Olivier proud.
Talk about kindred spirits! I don't think I've ever come across two MCs who are as well matched as these two! I felt that to bring Pip and Olivier to life was a labour of love for Lily, it was obvious that they were special to her. You can tell this by the care and attention she gives to both characters, from when they originally met, to when they fatefully come together once again in France. The ending in the airport is fecking epic, to quote Pip and Ruby 😂

Adorable
I wrote a brilliant review of this book but i forgot to copy it and Audible managed to eat it. I am very sad. Here's my not so eloquent review.
Another gorgeous story from Lily Morton. Opposites attract with just the right amount of sass and sarcasm. Glorious descriptions of the French lifestyle and countryside as Olivier and Pip get to know each other.
I've been waiting for HEAs for Olivier and Pip since I read The Sunny Side. I just didn't expect for them to get one together. What a joy.
Joel Leslie's performance was just as I imagined. Fun, sassy and sexy.
And I can't wait for all the possible sequels. The world renowned photographer and the out of control model. Or the author/PA getting his HEA.

Perfection 👌
As expected - just brilliant, as always from Lily Morton.
This is Pip and Olivier’s book - it certainly doesn’t disappoint ❤️
It is sweet, heartfelt, snarky, sassy and the humour is sublime as only Lily Morton does.
There are previous characters in the story, Jonas, Dean, Ruby (absolutely hysterical, especially the hair clippers!!!) Still cackling now! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellently narrated as always by Joel Leslie - he amazes me with his ability to understand these characters, their accents and weave and wield the listener to thoroughly enjoy Lily’s writing and story - especially the places, making you believe you’re actually in these places ❤️
Another ‘out of the park’ book for Lily!
I cannot recommend this book enough - although a standalone, I highly recommend you read/listen to Mixed Messages series and follow the Lilyverse throughout - you certainly won’t be disappointed!!
Definitely a 5 🌟 listen for me ❤️🥰

Beautiful romance, beautiful imagery
I gotta say that I enjoyed this ALOT!!!
5 stars all around!
Joel Leslie is an amazing narrator when it comes to contemporary stories (I don't have the same experience with his narrations in paranormal/fantasy ones) and he was fantastic here.
Although I was taken aback by the way the word "migraine" was pronounced. I always say it as "maɪ-" (as in eye) and not "mee-" (as in do re mi). Oh well being bilingual in English means that my English is an amalgamation monstrosity of British and American English.
Back to the story, I truthfully enjoyed Pip's vividness and along with Olivier's wonderment and wickedness this was a beautiful romance!
Wonderful MCs, lots of snark and banter balanced perfectly with everyday little moments of happiness and contentment, beautiful imagery of the South of France, lovely side characters and cameos of favorites, hints of pairings to come and a romance for the ages with 2 MCs that had incredible chemistry and complemented each other in the best of ways!!!

Fancy
I haven't read or listened to the first book in the Moden Agency series, but that did not affect my enjoyment of French Fancy at all.
Firstly, I am all about Joel, so listening to this one was a no brainer. I have listened to many of Joel and Lily's collabs, so I knew it was going to be good.
Pip and Olivier's story, just sigh. Yes, we have all seen it before. Was it a bit predictable? Sure. Was the obscene wealth a bit ick? Yeah, a bit. And the villain was a bit eyeroll worthy.
It makes it sound like I didn't like it, doesn't it?
But Leslie's telling of the story just had me enjoying it. Morton's books are ones that I pick up on and off every year, more often than not listening to a Joel Leslie narration.
A bit of flirty fun, this was a fine way to spend a car ride.
