    About this audiobook

    “The queer teen historical you didn’t know was missing from your life.” — Teen Vogue, on The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue

    In this funny and frothy novella that picks up where the New York Times bestselling The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue leaves off, freshly minted couple Monty and Percy fumble through their first time together.

    Monty’s epic grand tour may be over, but now that he and Percy are finally a couple, he realizes there is something more nerve-wracking than being chased across Europe: getting together with the person you love.

    Will the romantic allure of Santorini make his first time with Percy magical, or will all the anticipation and build-up completely spoil the mood?

      It's like the fanfiction I go looking for after I've finished a brilliant book. Only, this time, it was written by the author herself. <3

      If you love Monty and Percy then you will love this! Their attempted first time is more slapstick than sexy. Chaos, embarrassment, property damage, and injuries ensue. It's super cute, funny, and just a bit hot. The narrator was perfect. He's exactly what I expected Monty to sound like!

      Shameless and self-indulgent. I Loved it.
    • 5/5
      This was the absolutely cutest thing ever!!! Monty and Percy are the best! If you've enjoyed the other books you can't miss this little add on.
    • 5/5
      This is so darn cute. It was hilarious, and in the process, made me realised how deep their love was for each other. They are so open and you can clearly see the character development Monty has. He learns to accept and overcome, and while things may not be perfect, they'll always love each other. This book is absolutely touching, and beautiful. Also, Christian's narrating was so smoothing. He voices Monty so well, and Percy was absolutely fantastic. That deep husky voice made me crazy! This was absolutely amazing. Give it a go!
    • 5/5
      I adorable. I love Monty and Percy but by far the bets character in this is Felicity
    • 4/5
      This was was everything you wanna hear after GGTVV. Percy and Monty are going to give it their all and start their life together. With a little fun with their new found family. This is about that first step
    • 5/5
      Had me laughing out loud, definitely a fun quick audiobook
    • 5/5
      Henry is still the worst!

      Because the man was nervous he ruined a perfect opportunity! Literally the worst. Thank gawd Percy knows him so well.

      4.5 stars
    • 5/5
      Lovely! Basically this a percy-monty fanfic, and I ain't complaining! Hehe :3 O really love the way Mackenzi writes, bringing up social issues but still managed to make it fun to read and steamy too hehe
    • 5/5
      Though this is a novella, man can that girl write. Usually I give out a lot of slack for people of the opposite sex writing sex scenes for the other sex.. women right scenes for gay men or men writing scenes for lesbians, but man did Mackenzie Lee get it right. Sensual and romantic and everything that I wish I had, but alas being in a 16 year relationship, I have nothing that Money and Percy have in this story. Fantastic, this is just as good as the scenes in Darkdawn, written by Jay Kristoff. That's another author that gets those scenes hot and steamy!!
    • 5/5
      This is so magnificent. You have to give it a listen.
    • 5/5
      This was the best of the series! The novella takes place after book one and it focuses on Percy and Monty and their newly professed love for one another. It's almost like a little slice-of-life story. Just the two of them learning their way around these feelings they've kept hidden for so long. The fear and anxiousness of their potential first time was oh so sweet and heart-wrenching. It was all so very relateable.The false starts and disasters of their attempts at intimacy are hilarious. They characters were so very likeable this time around. The growth they each were experiencing was front and center. This was well done.
    • 4/5
      The author's attempt to write a m/m sex scene without actually writing any sex, but I love these characters.
    • 4/5
      Series Info/Source: This is the 1.5th book in the Montague Siblings series. I borrowed a copy of this on audiobook from my library.Thoughts: This was a cute addition to the Montague Siblings series. It was very much a romance, and funny and quirky just like the first book in this series. I listened to this on audiobook (it was a brief 2 hours) and it was pleasant enough to listen to. Monty and Percy are hiding out on Santorini island after the events in the first book. As Monty and Percy try to take the next steps in their relationship many tough conversations are had and hilarious antics ensue.This was well done and a fun little story that filled out what happened with Monty and Percy after the first book. It was nice to read about these characters again and I enjoyed this quick dip back into this historical fiction world.My Summary (4/5): Overall this was a fun little diversion if you want to read a bit more about Monty and Percy. I wouldn't recommend reading it as a stand alone because you need the background to understand what is happening here. It was cute and quick read and a great little mood lifter.
    • 5/5
      This small volume in between books #1 and #2 of the Montague Siblings series gives a further look at Monty and Percy's relationship and its, ahem, more intimate parts. They were my favorite part of TGGTVAV, so I was thrilled to get to read what is essentially a fanfic by the original author. Everything I enjoyed about the previous book is present here, except, because it is so short, the focus is narrowed even more significantly down to Monty and Percy. There is a realness in their relationship that I love, and it really shines in this story. While I was hoping that it might be from Percy's perspective - a contrast from the first book - Monty's voice is just so enjoyable that, having read it, I can't imagine anyone else as a narrator. If you enjoyed TGGTVAV and want more of Monty and Percy specifically, this is the next one to reach for. It's a very quick, lighthearted read, and I think it does their story justice.
    • 4/5
      This was cute, but . . . Are you kidding me, the whole book is about building up to having sex for the first time as a couple, and then they never actually get there??? Come on.
    • 5/5
      Just as funny and charming as the rest of the series. I have to say I am surprised by how graphic it was considering it’s YA, but perhaps I am just out of touch.
    • 4/5
      Amusing little novella related to the main series. I enjoyed this one a lot too although very litle actually happens.
    • 3/5
      Cute enough but not sure of its purpose as really it’s just a nice fanfic in the form of a novella.
