KJ Charles is an amazing author. I know this. Many people know this. It's a fact. I've just finished my 3rd time through The Magpie Lord series and also Jackdaw, which is one of my all time favorite stories. Read my review on that one!! However, after reading this one again, I find myself NOT caught up in the plot or story or much of anything. I find my mind wandering and I don't gravitate towards it like I did the other books. It's an adequate story with enough detail but it's strung together with M/M sex that goes on in WAY too much detail and for WAY too long!!! I know how gay sex works. Hell, I know how most sex works but if I wanted to read STROKE fiction, this wouldn't be it. WAY too much detail about WAY too many intimate details for me to enjoy. A hand goes here, a lip goes there and .... I know how it happens. I do. But I have to SKIM and SKIM and then I've missed a critical detail about something that was buried in PAGES and PAGES of sex ergonomics and then..... just stop, already. Apparently this is for a different crowd. I've read it twice and although the story is great and it's well written, it's NOT the type of story I want to read. Sometimes sex is best alluded to and not described in PAINSTAKING detail!! Read her other stories. The Magpie Lord series and Jackdaw are amazing novels. This one is of a different nature and for ME, that wasn't a great thing. Great writer, good story, not my scene. It's a 2.5 story that I upgraded to a 3 because of how well she writes. But she fails in content.
... or lull you into what would be a false sense of comfort.Danger, fear, and violence – the potential for and realization of – are inescapable results of suppression. Something always gives way. This is true on societal and personal levels. This novel is an examination of both. It’s an examination of the many different forms of expression and decisions made while living a reality filled with these things. While trying to survive. While struggling to do more than just survive. While wanting to love and live as the person one is meant to be, especially when it doesn’t conform to the accepted norms. Poverty, inequality, and repression influence many a decision, especially when it’s between life and death, literally and emotionally. This is early nineteenth century England at its tony best and abject worst.Shall we begin?Right from the get-go, I liked Julius. He’s hyper aware of everything, extremely intelligent, doesn’t hesitate to share his biting wit, and is loyal to his friends. Despite all of this, he’s living a life partially blocked, partially broken.~ * ~ Julius glanced down at his chest with some satisfaction. His waistcoat, in satin of a delicate pink hue shot with apricot streaks and embroidered with silver thread, was a masterpiece. It flattered his slim build, its dawn shades complemented his pale blond hair delightfully, and best of all, it caused almost physical distress to his friends. ~ * ~Harry is intelligent, quick to thought and action, especially when involving those he cares about, and is so very exhausted from years of barely surviving. He might be smack dab in the middle of the protests against increasing inequality in early nineteenth century England, but that doesn’t fill your table or your belly, or afford him the truths within his heart.Enter his cousin Richard.~ * ~ Actually, I hoped you would do it.â€Julius blinked, startled. “I? Do what?â€Teach Harry how to comport himself. How to dress. Help him find his place.â€â€œMake your revolutionary into a gentleman? Bear-lead a radical cub? I?†~ * ~Little did any of them know where everything in this endeavor would lead.There is a lot bubbling beneath Julius’s confident air. There’s even more below Harry’s widespread uncertainty. Neither should underestimate the other. The refreshing thing? Sometimes they don’t and the results are bright, entertaining, and meaningful. They both start to realize what’s really going on with each of them, in their individual lives and the one that maybe, possibly, they’re working towards together.~ * ~ He (Harry) was, in fact, enjoying himself. And, God rot it, so was Julius. ~ * ~This was probably the last moment when things remained simple, at least on the surface.For as much as Harry and Julius are the centerpieces of this story, all of the supporting characters are just as well described and fully realized. Silas and Richard hold the power positions, if you will. While Francis, Ash, Dominic (his is a powerful place, as well, for different reasons), cousin Verona, Gideon (that Gideon *shakes fist*), Cyprian, Ballard, and so many others make up the moving pieces that bring this world to robust life.Julius + Harry = complex, passionate, imperfect, humorous, and bone-deep needful connection.~ * ~ â€I’ve spent the evening in the best clubs in the land, and nobody’s thought twice about. You’ve turned me into a gentleman. And I’m drunk, and I feel like celebrating in a bloody ungentlemanly sort of way.†~ * ~* Insert fake pout that morphs into a knowing leer here.Look, the crux of it is this: someone who was made to break free of the norm, who doesn’t fit the accepted positions within society, what do they do? What path do they choose? Can they draw a new one, digging that first step in the dirt towards an as yet unexplored way? Is it possible? And will those he’s come to count on and love be there with him, for him? Is it worth the price?It’s surreal, amazing, and feels like a perfect fit when someone comes along and, not only reminds you of who you are but, begins to show you what else you can be.~ * ~ But more, it was Harry. It was the sense that at last someone was at his shoulder again, on the inside. ~ * ~Humor, love, mistakes, family, friendships, suffering, great injustice, death, murder, politics, surprises, anger, forgiveness, mayhem, and fun. All at the hands of KJ Charles’ writing. Surriusly? As if there’s a choice here. Read it! And if you are on the fence or don’t normally read historicals, forget that and read it! The detail is delicious, important without being overdone, and all used to paint a fully realized vision of this world.Bonus: at the end, there’s a scene from book two, A Seditious Affair. I’m already grinning.
This was my first historical male/male romance. It’s full of sharp dialogue, fancy clothes, and powerful gentlemen, and I mostly enjoyed it. The author is new to me, and I’d definitely read her again.Harry’s father had noble blood, but he married a peasant woman and was disowned when he began inciting the poor of London to riots. Harry was raised in exile in France, hating the nobility. When his parents died, he returned to London, to the seditious rabble-rousing bookstore that he knew as a child. He’s then found by a family lawyer. It turns out that his uncle has died, and Evil Grandfather would rather reform Harry into a proper heir than let the estate pass to an unworthy relative.Evil Grandfather assigns the reformation task to Harry’s cousin Richard, who passes it on to Julius, who “was of medium height… and made of moonlight.†Julius is a dandy in the fashionable sense of the word. He cares for nothing other than his appearance and fine horses. I never knew the importance of buttons, or waistcoat fabric, until Julius lectured Harry about it.Julius’s instructions to Harry are delicious bits of wisdom: “‘You are permitted to speak. I may even, on occasion, require your opinion. You need not fear being wrong. I shall tell you if you are wrong.’†“‘You may be on whatever terms of intimacy with your valet that you choose. My man attends to my appearance with a pride only equaled by his lack of interest in my well-being.’†And, “‘If you speak of your past, in society, you will make the people around you uncomfortable, and they will make themselves comfortable again at your expense by means of mockery and contempt.’â€There is a plot, and there are high stakes. Harry must pass as a proper gentleman, without arousing suspicion about his treasonous past. He must embrace the aristocracy, even when it opposes his moral compass. Evil Grandfather also expects him to marry quickly, to really ensure the bloodline. Meanwhile, Harry and Julius are getting it on. They discuss that it’s only until Harry gets engaged, because Harry has a duty to Evil Grandfather and he doesn’t want to cheat on his future wife, and Julius is made of ice and can’t be emotionally involved.Poor Harry is caught in the middle. He really hates Evil Grandfather, and he hates how the newspapers lie about riots, and he hates the aristocratic dismissal of the lives of others. But he puts up with it because he also really hates being poor and living on the streets. Without embracing the lie, he’ll be homeless at best, thrown in prison or hung at worst.The external plot takes up most of the book, which is probably great for some people. There was a lot of mystery and suspense. But I came for the romance. Julius is slow to warm up to Harry. He has reasons for being so cold (hint: The War), and it’s hard for him to admit that he could be worthy of love. I enjoyed his character so much that I wanted more joy and happiness for him. There is a happy ending, as happy as two gay men in the 1820s can have. It’s just almost overshadowed by other characters near the end.So. If you like a little more politics in your historicals, with an extra dash of forbidden love, you should give this a try.Rating: B+Originally posted at Red Hot Books: [...]
