Dylan Mitchell wants to get married.
However, after seven years of being engaged, that’s looking slightly doubtful. After going through ten wedding planners, they’re gaining a reputation somewhat akin to Henry the Eighth on the wedding circuit.
Gabe has vetoed symbolic dove releases, forests of flowers, fire-eating performers, and puce as a wedding colour. He’s confounded an army of wedding professionals, and now Dylan, the man who knows and loves him better than anyone, has joined the ranks of the confused. Can anything please his fiancé and get them to the altar?
From bestselling author Lily Morton comes the sequel to Rule Breaker. A romantic comedy novella full of family chaos, meddling friends, sexy bathroom encounters, and love. Always love.

Witty and romantic, I loved it!
This book is a sequel to Rule Breaker, the first book in the Mixed Messages series, and I really think you need to read that book first to enjoy this one this most. It’s a fantastic story and gives you the history behind Dylan’s and Gabe’s relationship.
Vow Maker is a fantastically witty, snarky and romantic story. Gabe and Dylan have been together for more than a few years now but they’ve yet to tie the knot. Part of the problem is finding a wedding planner that suits them. Each chapter has a little snippet of conversation between Dylan and Gabe about one of the wedding planners they had considered. I confess to being a tiny bit confused at first because chapter one ends with Gabe saying that he thinks they’ve finally found their new planner. After getting into chapter two I realized that the snippets were the author’s way of letting us know why other planners hadn’t worked out and I loved reading them.
The story is told in first person POV with chapters alternating between Dylan and Gabe. The dialogue is wonderful and exactly what I’d expect from Lily Morton. My review can’t convey how much I enjoyed reading this novella. I haven’t read a Lily Morton book yet that I didn’t love. The only thing that could make me love this story more would be to hear Joel Leslie perform the audiobook. I don’t know if Lily plans to have one made (they are very expensive to produce) but I’ll be one of the first to buy it if she does.

I sigh. Another one bites the dust. At this point in our journey towards matrimony, I’ve said those words so many times I could part-time as a Freddie Mercury impressionist. Gabe looks at me as if expecting me to leap in and save him, but it’s every man for himself. I dealt with the last five wedding planners. It’s his turn.And I must say it’s a very entertaining use of an hour as I watch Gabe finally meet his match. Helen moves from a vigorous defence of her wedding vision—one that belongs only in a Netflix historical drama—to indignation and, at last, rage. It’s a familiar destination if you’re dealing with Gabe.
Finally, however, she accepts defeat, saying in a very shrill voice, “You will never know marital bliss with that kind of attitude, Mr Foster.” Slinging her pashmina over her shoulder, she exits our house in a cloud of ire and Chanel perfume.
I stretch as Gabe comes back into the room after letting her out. “Helen, one. Gabe, nought.” I mime a tennis swing. “New balls, please.”
“That’s a very mixed metaphor and explains a great deal about your sports knowledge.” The love of my life heads to the cupboard and pulls out a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label. He waggles the bottle at me. “Want one?”
“Now? Isn’t it a bit early?”
“You tell me. Haven’t we got another planner coming in an hour? They’re like excessively happy buses.”
“I’ll have half the bottle,” I say promptly.
