Meeting Millie

Oxford Romance, Book 1

By: Clare Ashton

Narrated by: Gabrielle Baker

Oxford—celebrated city of dreaming spires and class warfare—is an ambition come true for geeky upper-middle-class lesbian Charlotte and charismatic working-class straight Millie.

Against the odds, theirs is an instant best friendship. Forever.

Exuberant Millie is a breath of fresh air for polite Charlotte and a force of nature within the university's hallowed walls. And they are going to be the best lawyers of their year and change the world.

But their world changes instead when things go queerly sideways, and they haven't seen each other since.

Ten years on and Charlotte returns to where it all began. She has a new job at a prestigious law firm and Oxford is as beautiful as ever. She's a safe distance from her overbearing barrister mother Nicola and three office floors from her snappy college mentor, Olivia.

Then Millie bounds around the corner wanting to be friends again and it's as if the last decade never happened. Will it be different the second time around? Can they be friends again? Or will love and attraction change things?

Engaging Sapphic Romance With Very Likable Characters!

This is a very well written heartfelt and engaging Sapphic romance which kept me interested from start to finish! A slow burn but well worth the wait! The main characters made sense and evolved perfectly. The secondary characters were intertwined perfectly for this story. I read and listen to many authors in this genre and this was exceptional! The narrator has a very smooth tone and was an easy listen on the ears!

Long but great

I love Claire Ashton’s books and this one was as good as the rest of them. A little young MC for me, but the story was good. Narration was good as well.

Slow Burn

This was a longer book that was very much a slow burn. They went from best friends to 10 years of no contact before seeing each other again. At that time they start repairing their relationship before finally for both of them falling for each other towards the very end of the book. Not spicy, more sensual but only near the end of the book. Every other chapter in the beginning was flashbacks to when they were best friends.

Falling for the series.

This is my second time reading Meeting Millie. It is sort of a slow burn for me as the authors teases out all of the personalities and chemistry between Charlotte, Millie, and supporting characters. Listening to it a second time convinced me that I had to listen to everything in the series. If you are in for a book about great chemistry, missing what is right in front of you, and pent up desire, this might be your book. I love Gabrielle's presentation of this book to us. Thanks Clare!

Exceptional Sapphic Romance Perfectly Narrated

This is engaging story of an intensely loving friendship with unreciprocated physical desire that evolves further upon second chance.
