I was voluntarily provided a free copy of this audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I love historical romances. I love MM romances. Put the two together and you have something not only wonderful, but heart wrenching, as well. Life for gay men was extremely difficult. I find it difficult to read these books and not despair that they cannot live free and open lives. This book not only focuses on that very issue, but adds the complexity of love between social classes in Regency England.
I truly cared for the MCs and found them absolutely enticing together. The plot and action captured my attention straight away, although the conflict near the end seeemd a bit forced (no spoilers). The two MCs reach as possible of an HEA as they can being where and who they are.
What truly made this story for me was the narration by Joel Leslie. His portrayal of the MCs brought them to life. His ability to perform different acccents added variety and richness to the story.
This was my first story by Victoria Sue and I loved it. This was not my first audiobook by Joel Leslie–he is one of my favorite narrators.
