About the author

Lily is a bestselling gay romance author.

She lives in sunny England with her husband and two children, all of whom claim that they haven't had a proper conversation with her since she got her Kindle.

She has spent her life with her head full of daydreams, and decided one day to just sit down and start writing about them. In the process she discovered that she actually loved writing because how else would she get to spend her time with hot and funny men?

Her latest release is Under Gorse and Stone, which is a magical Christmas story about a centuries-old dragon and his human mate.

A very cute, short, follow-up story.

And not a single pair of cherry-red, lace panties in sight, which I'm counting as a win. ;- )

Short and sweet. I loved seeing what happened after the epilogue of Charlie Sunshine.

[~✡~Dαni(ela) ♥ ♂♂ love & semicolons~✡~ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not a standalone. This story takes place immediately after the epilogue of Charlie Sunshine.

If you've read the book, you know what Misha has planned for Charlie's birthday. Let's say not everything goes according to plan, but I don't think Charlie would have wanted it any other way.

I'm greedy for more snippets featuring these MCs, as I absolutely adore them.

I just wish a sexy scene had been included.

A cute little short, as we always get after the main book of a couple with this author, depicting Charlie and Misha truly cementing their HEA.

There's some shenanigans, there's some cuteness, and there's love.

Definitely a nice bonus to Charlie Sunshine <3

A really cute and sweet addition to Charlie and Misha's story

[Alisonbookreviewer · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short story to finish Charlie Sunshine 🌞

[Cadiva · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these additional little snippets Lily puts out for her couples.

This one is Micha's somewhat muddled but still beautifully brilliant proposal 😁

Since the moment I finished Charlie Sunshine, I wanted this 'extra'.
I could hardly stand the wait from Morton's snippet transition.
Her website used to hold all these lovely little gems of bonus scenes from her stories. And I skipped this one because I hadn't read Charlie Sunshine...yet.
But times changed and they are no longer on her website...now they are bundled together in a book. Which of course, I bought Short Stack 2. *quiet grumble*
I wish she'd left things on her website.
Simply because I used to race to her website after finishing a book and squealed with delight when I found an 'extra'. It was like finding a winning lotto ticket. And despite the ease of having the bonus scenes stored in one place on my kindle, it doesn't feel quite the same.
Because if you haven't read ALL of her books, you have to carefully flip through the chapters because if you accidentally read one of these 'extras' without reading the book, you'd spoil the story. They are in no way shape or form standalone stories. And that takes a bit of the joy away.

Gahhhh, I'm so thrilled with this proposal.
They make me smile so hard.
I loved every fumbling racing moment.
I just...love them.

A must read for fans of Charlie and Misha. Lovely and funny as always. Gotta love the HEA.

[Leslie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extended epilogue.

More loveliness with Charlie and Misha. I’m greedy and want even more!! 😍

[Shelby · Rating 4 out of 5]

Of course this proposal was bumbling and adorable. This was just what I needed from this.

Little more of Charlie and Misha to love.

[Elsbeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these shorties!! This one was hilarious.

“What are you laughing at?

“I’m laughing because this is a total shitshow.”

..... But at least if you say yes I can stop making a total tit of myself on Brighton Beach.”

[Lelyana's Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG Charlie is soooooo freaking annoying! LOL!
This is the best happy ending for the two best friend to lovers, Misha and Charlie.
Read this after Charlie Sunshine, you'll be very happy like me!🥰

[Leelah&#x1f341;♋️ Orion · Rating 4 out of 5]

Poor Misha! But what a brilliant way to end the story. I really enjoyed this follow up. The writing was of course wonderful, the banter perfect and the love was absolutely there.

Too short for a rating but it was very nice

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute little short to be read after Charlie Sunshine where Misha has something planned for Charlie’s birthday. And not everything goes according to plan.

[Eleeze · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Ed Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sweet extra epilogue to Charlie Sunshine.

[Lily S (Cover Lover) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Charlie & Misha! They are my favorite Lily Morton characters. I could read about them forever!!!!!

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

So cute. Love it.


Cute. Reread 2021 October

[Mary Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, that was super cute but also absolutely crazy :) I didn't expect that, I was quite sure Charlie would find Misha's ring earlier.

It's four stars only because it is very short.

[Meltem Donmez · Rating 4 out of 5]

4,5 ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]
