He’s living his HEA with his handyman boyfriend, Kevin ‘The Corpse Finder ’ Wallis, and his elderly dog, Phil. Business at The Chipped Cup coffee shop is booming. Media interest in the Cotswolds Collector—also known asthe whack job who stashed dead bodies in Charlie’s house—has faded. The world has moved on, and now it’s time for Charlie to do the same.  \nHe’s got a garage filled with a lifetime of junk that he’d prefer to leave in the past, but Kevin is itching to complete his self-appointed mission of turning Charlie’s dilapidated house into the home Charlie always dreamed of. Sorting through the clutter of unwanted possessions and unhappy memories is the last task on the list.  \nHe’s put Kevin off for long enough. He wants to make Kevin as happy as Kevin has made him, and if hard, boring, physical labour is what makes Kevin happy (it is, the freak), who’s Charlie to stand in his way?  \nBesides. What’s the worst that could happen?  \nIt’s not as if he’s going to find another dead guy.  \nBetter With Kevin is a novella-length return to Chipping Fairford to check in with Charlie and Kevin. There’s some kissing, some running and screaming, a bit of a tussle, and—for a refreshing change—a complete lack of dead bodies.  \nThis MM romantic comedy is a sequel to Not That Ridiculous, and is the fourth title in the Not That series. It’s best read after Not That Ridiculous.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n1  \nITt waheTsChahieyCcaSaupl ptuwiarandsoaybuallsbunchtlingum ttimhatepilnayeeardlyonSeptema loopbearl,l  \nand  \nday  \nlong was barely audible beneath the hiss of the steam wand, the buzz and rumble of the grinder, and the chatter of customers. The air was filled with the fragrance of fresh beans and sweet pastries. Every table was occupied.  \nChipping Fairford had always been a popular town, located squarely in the middle of the Cotswolds at a convenient distance from London in the south and Birmingham in the north. I’d grownup watching tourists pour in at the weekends, mostly folk coming up from London to cosplay the country life in their pristine Hunter wellies and Barbour flat caps after a long hard week of diddling the financial markets. Back then, my parents had owned The Chipped Cup and I’d worked there after school to supplement my weekly allowance.  \nNow I owned the shop, my take-home pay once the bills and my staff had been paid wasn’t much more than I’d made as a teenager, and Chipping Fairford’s popularity had exploded. Almost half of the properties that fronted onto the ancient Roman road running through the centre of town had been snapped up and turned into Airbnbs.  \nA few months ago, those Airbnbs had been packed with the worst kind of tourist—journalists, true-crime content creators, and  \nghoulish murder fans, drawn here by the discovery of more mummified victims of the now","cbCailzu4GZmu6q9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailzu4GZmu6q9","pdf",565444,67,"English","# Better With Kevin\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Author’s Note\n## Also by Isabel Murray\n## About the Author","[{\"question\":\"Better With Kevin 的故事接续了哪部作品？\",\"answer\":\"Better With Kevin 是 Not That 系列的续作，同时也是该系列的第四本。通常建议先阅读 Not That Ridiculous。\"},{\"question\":\"Charlie 和 Kevin 的关系与日常生活是什么？\",\"answer\":\"Charlie 与他的手艺男友 Kevin “The Corpse Finder” Wallis 过着甜蜜生活，并经营 The Chipped Cup 咖啡店，生意蒸蒸日上。\"},{\"question\":\"Charlie 为什么想让家里的整理工作尽快完成？\",\"answer\":\"Charlie 想把过去的经历彻底放下，也希望让生活回到更安稳、更私密的状态；而 Kevin 的任务正是把破旧房子改造成 Charlie 梦想中的家。\"}]","Better With Kevin - Chipping Fairford return novella - Chapter 1 | PDF",103]
