Julius and Harry were wonderful, complex MCs, and they had AMAZING chemistry — both physical and emotional. Whew! Charles writes some hot sex scenes. This probably had above average drama, but the vast majority of it came from outside the relationship, so I didn't mind. Just a heads up that there's plenty of intrigue and things. I liked that Julius seemed to love Harry largely for his inherent joy in life, and that that's kind of what he needed to help thaw his jaded heart. It's kind of a 'sunshine and grump' dynamic actually, but Julius is more cold and jaded than he is angry. The relationship started out with one being the definite teacher of the other, but it ended up being pretty even. They both learned things from the other and were better people for it, which I love. It's well done. Synopsis Harry Vane is a freedom fighter, seen as a radical, pushing back against the monarchy in favor of democracy. It's what he's known his whole life. His parents were leaders in the movement, and it follows that he would carry on their legacy. But there's a secret of Harry's past that he doesn't know. He is descended from nobility. And he's the heir to a title and a fortune. Those aren't things that Harry ever set out for in life, but it does seem better than being arrested--or worse--if he refuses to go along with it and someone looks more closely at his activities. Julius Norreys is assigned to help Harry make his way into society life. He's to teach him how to dress, how to act, and who to know. Although it quickly becomes clear that Julius may be more interested in working with Harry on how to undress. And Harry seems happy to oblige. But there are a few obstacles in Julius and Harry's path. For one, Harry's grandfather expects him to marry the woman of his choosing. And Julius has made it clear he won't be kept on the side. And there's also the issue of Harry's past--and his radical friends--that he just can't seem to escape. Review I have become quite the fan of historicals by K.J. Charles. There's just something about the way the characters and the setting are written that pulls me right in. I can't seem to put the books down (indeed, I read this one in one sitting). This start of a new series is no different. There's a rich world with a social context. There's strong character backstory and even some unexpected conflict. I certainly give this one a strong recommendation. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

But his heart is captured instead by the most beautiful, chic man he??s ever met: the dandy tasked with instructing him in the manners and style of the ton. Harry??s new station demands conformity??and yet the one thing he desires is a taste of the wrong pair of lips. After witnessing firsthand the horrors of Waterloo, Julius Norreys sought refuge behind the luxurious facade of the upper crust.
