Stuff (The Bristol Collection #2) by Josephine Myles (5 Stars)

I absolutely adored this story. Mas was an extremely charming character, and his flaws made him even more lovable. Perry was so serious most of the time until Mas taught him how to enjoy life a bit more. Neither Mas nor Perry had been in a serious relationship before which made watching them suffer through the learning curve both realistic and interesting. I also thought it was fun watching them put the clothing and art store together. It’s not necessary to read Junk first but I highly recommend it. Jasper and Lewis do show up here quite frequently which was a treat for me.

BLURB

When Mr. Glad Rags meets Mr. Riches, the result is flaming fun.

Tobias “Mas” Maslin doesn’t need much. A place of his own, weekends of clubbing, a rich boyfriend for love and support. Too bad his latest sugar daddy candidate turns out to be married with kids. Mas wants to be special, not someone’s dirty little secret.

When he loses his job and his flat on the same day, his worlds starts unraveling…until he stumbles across a vintage clothing shop. Now to convince the reclusive, eccentric owner he’s in dire need of a salesman.

Perry Cavendish-Fiennes set up Cabbages and Kinks solely to annoy his controlling father. Truth be told, he’d rather spend every spare moment on his true passion, art. When Mas comes flaming into his life talking nineteen to the dozen, he finds himself offering him a job and a place to live.

He should have listened to his instincts. The shop is already financially on the brink, and Mas’s flirting makes him feel things he’s never felt for a man. Yet Mas seems convinced they can make a go of it—in the shop, and together.

Warning: Contains an eccentric, bumbling Englishman, a gobby drama queen, fantastic retro clothing, scary fairies, exes springing out of the woodwork, and a well-aimed glass of bubbly. Written in brilliantly British English.
