About this listen

Are you for real?

From the outside, it looks like model and influencer Mason Nash has it all—beauty, fame, and fortune. With his star rapidly rising, and a big contract up for grabs, Mason’s on the verge of hitting the big time.

When an opportunity arises to co-host a gardening slot on daytime TV with his ex’s brother, Owen Hunter, Mason is definitely on-board. And he intends to use every trick in the book to make the show a hit—including agreeing to his ruthless producer’s demand to fake a ‘will-they/won’t-they’ romance with his co-host…

Owen Hunter is a gardener with a huge heart and both feet planted firmly on the well-tilled ground. He’s proud of the life he’s built and has absolutely no desire to be on TV—yet somehow he finds himself agreeing to do the show.

It’s definitely not because he’s interested in Mason Nash. The guy might be beautiful—and yeah, his spoiled brat routine presses all Owen’s buttons in the bedroom—but Owen has no interest in a short-term fling with a fame-hungry model.

As the two men get closer, though, Owen starts to believe there’s more to Mason than his beautiful appearance and carefully-curated online persona—that beneath the glitz and glamour is a sweet, sensitive man longing to be loved.

A man Owen might be falling for. A man who might even feel the same.

But in a world of media spin and half-truths, Owen is dangerously out of his depth. And when a ridiculous scandal explodes online, with Owen at its heart, it starts to look as though everything he thought was real is built on lies—including his budding romance with Mason…

Another interesting story by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcom. Mason and Owen are great characters to follow on their journey. Simon Goldhill did a super job with the narration.

I loved this so much it surprised me. I was drawn in my the combo of gardening (love it!) and social media (love-hate relationship) and nearly backed out when I read some reviews but went in anyway and found myself charmed from start to finish. Don't let the pretty pastel cover fool you, this is an emotional rollercoaster of a book that had me giggling happy, furiously angry and desperately upset at various points, and there's some serious explicit spice in it, including some bits that...let's just say I was really not expecting from such generally wholesome looking characters! If regular references to social media and hashtags aren't for you (as I've seen in lots of reviews) then no, don't read this, but I live very much in the world where that DOES exist and for me I really enjoyed it. I went through a proper journey with Mason and Owen and practically cheered at the end. I had it on audiobook and the narration by Simon Goldhill was great, it's so nice to hear a British accent in an audiobook and anyone who loves Tom Hiddleston will enjoy hearing a similar accent, even if a British voice making innuendos about tomatoes will always seem dirtier than an American voice saying the same thing.

Charming, emotional and spicy British MM romance

What fun!

I read Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm's Home Grown Talent as a standalone and had no trouble at all. I'm looking forward to getting the audio version of the first book in the series, Total Creative Control, as soon as possible.

The characters are funny and sweet, and the story is highly entertaining. A real good time.

Simon Goldhill delivers a marvelous performance in the audiobook version. Goldhill has a beautiful speaking voice, very easy to listen to, and he helped make Home Grown Talent very enjoyable indeed.

Very Enjoyable!What fun!

A familiar storyline. Usual plot development of a growing relationship, break up, then dramatic reconciliation. But this is a gentle romance. A happy listen in a traumatic world. Good holiday or nighttime listening very beautifully narrated by Simon Goldhill.

Happy, easy listening love story.

Mason and Owen are enjoyable characters.
Owen owns a successful landscaping business. He doesn’t care about social media nor being in the limelight.
Mason on the other hand is somewhat a success as a model and tv personality. He is hoping to add to his resume by being in a short term tv segment with Owen. As they are interacting with each other, they see each other in a different light. Mason’s drive comes not only for his desire to succeed but also his family obligation. This causes him to make bad decisions. Mason is pushed to use their relationship for publicity which causes Owen to wonder if any of it is real.
I enjoyed to story and the twists presented. I feel the narration by Simon Goldhill is perfect for these characters.
