The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky audiobook

I’m on BookTube now! =)”Someday, you little twat, I’d tell him, it’s going to be more. It’s going to be better, and so will you. Where we start doesn’t have to be where we end up.”This might have been a very short novella but it was so good and kinda heart-breaking but also very hopeful?! I really loved to be back in the Montague sibling’s world and it was so good to see more of Percy and Monty. This story played right after the events of the first book and we got a brief glimpse at their lives on the island. They are still waiting for the ships departure and Felicity as well as Scipio’s crew are a part of this short story as well. As for what it is about:”It’s only been a month.”“Only?” She arches an eyebrow. My regret that I even toed this subject with her intensifies. “I expected that once you and Percy were in agreement about living in sin, you would lean hard into it.”Haha! Yeah it’s basically about Monty and Percy finally going for the huge task of spending a night together. Seriously, Felicity’s and Monty’s conversations always give me life and those two siblings are just hilarious. It’s kinda sweet to see that despite them being super awkward around each other when it comes to the topic of love, they still find a way to talk about it anyway. Neither Felicity nor Monty are keen on exploring that topic with anyone, but their sibling bond is strong enough to be able to talk about it together. And this was extremely heart-warming and wholesome to see. =)”I was almost always with someone because I was bored and hated myself, and it was something to do that wasn’t thinking about either of those things. I’ve never been with anyone because I loved them and wanted something more together. So this has never required any sort of emotional component, and I don’t know how to do that. I don’t even know if I can. Maybe I’m too far gone.”But oh, Monty’s trauma runs so deep it was really sad to hear him speak about his feelings and initial motivations for sexual encounters. T_T I could understand why he felt nervous about spending a night with Percy and it made me very sad to hear him talk about himself. For someone who always came across as extremely confident there are a lot of hidden wounds our poor boy has to heal. I still haven’t read the last book but I’m kinda afraid I will come to dislike their father even more. And I already hate him with the fierce fires of hell for everything he did to Monty! *GRRR* ”You don’t owe me sex. You don’t owe me anything. I’m with you because I want to be. And if we’re together, it’ll be because we both want to be. And we are going to London together because we want to. And it’s going to be a disaster. But that’s all right, because we’ll have each other, and there’s no one on this goddamn planet I’d rather be a disaster with than you.” I’m just glad Percy and Monty are so close they can talk about everything because boy, for a minute there I was really worried about how things would develop. *lol* It’s so rare to find a relationship like the one of those two and it was so, so, so good to finally have two YA characters that actually TALK about their problems and don’t fall for the typical miscommunication trope. Honestly, it was very refreshing to see how they solved their troubles. And the way Monty feels about Percy!? It was so beautiful I almost cried! I really wish we would have gotten Percy’s POV too but I suppose you can’t have everything. XD”I want to breathe him, let him fill up my chest until my ribs strain and I break open like ripe fruit beneath a paring knife. I would be raw. I would freckle and blister in the sun. I would teach my body to regrow my heart each time I gave it to him, over and over and over again. Heart after heart after heart – every one of them his.”We did get a little bit more about Scipio though and I swear this man is my hero! Why can’t the world have more Scipios? I absolutely adore this man and the way he talks to Monty! I wish Monty would have had him as a father instead of the vile and cruel creature that actually fathered him. But then again I guess that Scipio is more of a father to Monty and Felicity than their real father ever was. He is accepting and kind and he has his heart at the right place. Get yourself a Scipio and his crew to support you!

WE HATE RICHARD PEELE!Ugh, this was ridiculously cute and hilarious and I can die happy now. My heart is so full and my stomach hurts from laughing. If you didn’t already know, I fucking adore Monty and Percy. I love them and The Gentleman’s Guide so much that I’m still, after six months and reading it three times, unable to write a review because I don’t think I can write down just how much I love everything about these characters and these books and how important I think they are. I could seriously pick it up right this moment, like I want to, and delight in it just as much as I did the first time. I LURVE it. Anyways, the novella. Really it’s more of a short story because it’s really very short, 50 pages, but omg it was sooo fucking cute and such a perfect morsel of love, happiness and humor and I’m just SO HAPPY ABOUT IT. I love the small references that Mackenzi made back to Gent’s Guide, it made me feel like I was sharing an inside joke with friends. There was a lot of talking going on between Monty and Percy, which I was so happy about because they are extremely bad at talking about their feelings, and I loved seeing them starting to create the foundation for a strong, honest, and communicative relationship. Monty and Percy were so sweet and in love, and I couldn't stop swooning and laughing at the situations they were putting themselves in. There were multiple times when I whispered aloud "oh dear God Monty!".This is YA, and although I had a small hope, I knew I wasn’t going to get the detailed scenes that I do in my adult MM but that being said.. This was pretty freaking good, and I just want to applaud Mackenzi for not only bringing such an amazing couple to YA, but also being like “Yep, I’m going to write a whole novella about them trying to have sex with each other, for teens to read, and it’s going to be sweet and full of funny moments and loving words, and there *mostly* won’t be any fade to black because THIS IS OKAY!!”. This review is getting long for a 50 page novella so short answer I FUCKING LOVED THIS! Monty, Percy, Felicity and their pirate companions are hilarious and I love hanging out with them. I want a million more stories about them because I would seriously read about them watching paint dry. While we’re on the topic of Felicity I will say that I was mostly excited for her book to get more glimpses of Monty and Percy, hopefully making out in the background and sticking their hands down each other’s trousers, but this made me love her so much more than I did in the first book, where she was very much a secondary character, and I’m really excited for her book and the shenanigans her and her girl gang get into!"You don't owe me sex. You don't owe me anything. I'm with you because I want to be. And if we're together, it'll be because we want to be. And we are going to London together because we want to. And it's going to be a disaster. But that's all right, because we'll have each other. We'll be disastrous together."

“I would teach my body to regrow my heart each time I gave it to him, over and over and over again. Heart after heart after heart—every one of them his”.Esta novella de Monty y Percy es absolutamente preciosa. Por si no lo saben, sucede justo cuando acaba The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue y todos están descansando unos meses en Santorini. Después de todas las aventuras que tuvieron recorriendo Europa, definitivamente se merecen esos momentos de escuchar las olas, sentir el sol en la piel y asumir que están a punto de aventurarse en un nuevo comienzo. Monty y Percy siempre serán dos de mis personajes LGBT+ favoritos. Son tan auténticos y tan humanos que leer sobre sus sentimientos, sus dudas y sus promesas para el futuro es espectacular. Los amo muchísimo. Eso sí, para esta historia llamarse The Gentleman's Guide to Getting Lucky, la verdad es que tiene cero sexy times, ¡me siento timada!

this was so cute and fun to read. i love Monty and Percy with all my heart

How does one express their love for Monty and Percy in a short little review? They don't.

my skin is clear, my crops are thriving, the sun is shining, monty is a Bisexual Disaster, and percy and monty are idiots in love. bless mackenzi lee for restoring peace to the universe.

This book was everything I didn't know I needed. Monty is a disaster in the most entertaining yet heartbreaking way possible. Percy is, of course, the sweetest most wonderful person to ever grace the earth. Felicity, though, is the real MVP for trying to hook them up.This is a story where everything that could go wrong does in fact, go wrong. But, of course, things don't just go wrong, because no, that would be far too boring. Too mundane and commonplace for one such as Monty. In this book, everything that goes wrong goes so horribly wrong in the most unfortunate, dramatic, tragic and hilarious way possible.Overall, I loved every second of it. I only wish it were longer!!

"Where we start doesn't have to be where we end up."°•*⁀➷So funny. So entertaining. If someone told me this was an actual thing the author wrote I wouldn't have believed you simply because it's so fanfictiony. In the best way. This was so funny.Monty and Percy try so hard to "get lucky" and it goes wrong every single time. I will probably read this anytime I need to laugh forever. I love them. I'm so glad I decided to get this. And read it. And can't wait to read it again.- Paige

"We are tough and stupid together and we are going to be tough and stupid together for the rest of our lives" ♥ Los amo, bye.Update: no dejo de sonreír como boba desde que terminé esto. Monty tiene esa capacidad de hacerme hiper feliz con su estupidez y profundidad no intencionada (:P) que me puede.
