Felix needs a daddy

A lovely fluffy book, one that makes you smile.
Felix is an actor, a young, bright, happy sunshine person, with a new Dalmatian puppy.
Liam is a retired grumpy police detective.
The two on paper do not work. So will they work as neighbours?
Felix buys the house next to Liam and begins a daily ritual of annoying his new grumpy neighbour.

This is a great, well-written book, set on the coast of England.
A must-read if you want something that's not too taxing but well written. All the happy feels.

Dan Calley does an incredible job of the narration, easy to listen to.

Love the book but the voices werent perfect for me

I started the audiobook with a bit disappointment, because Dan Calley wasn't my first choice of narrator for this book, but after a while I forgot it and just enjoyed the audio. I loved reading this book so I had high expectations for the audio. It was good, but sometimes I lost my interest and the voices weren't perfect.
I love those audiobooks where the MC's have clearly different voices, and while Liam and Felix's voices were mostly different, there were times when it blurred together. And sadly, but it didn't give me any feelings. Colette wrote an amazing book with all the feels, but the narrator couldn't bring it to life for me. It was only 75% on my scale, it wasn't bad but neither really good. Good for listen to it once.

+ after watching the live reading in Colette's fb group, I have to re-think my review, because watching Dan Calley readint the book was really good and I enjoyed it. It was only one scene, but it was much better this time when in the audio. I don't know why, but it is what it is.

Story: ★★★★★
Narration: ★★★★☆

sensational!

Just so good! Full of Sunshine, sass, steam and humour, this story is fighting for the top spot this year!

I loved the dynamic between the gruff and serious Liam and the sunny and sassy Felix! add in a adorable puppy and some exceptional Daddy/Boi times and this story lifted my spirits, made me laugh and made me fall in love with these beautiful characters.

Dan does an excellent job narrating. I loved the contrast of gruff and sunny between these two and their unique dialect.

I just loved it!!!

Absolutely brilliant

I absolutely loved this book and the audible of it was just as good. It is one of my favourite books and the audible just completed it. Dan Calley was absolutely brilliant at it and I loved how he changed his voice for each character. I would definitely 100% recommend it 🖤🖤
