A Brilliant Read
Aside from the romance and the fairly surprising twist this book is a brilliantly written historical fiction based around real life events, the main characters are interesting and the action is fantastically written, this is a book I have read several times and is still very much a page turner for me.

I'm a bit picky with my historical reads. But since this would be my first full length mm historical romance, I thought I'd give it a go. And it turned into something I really enjoyed. It was paranormal and action packed and romantic. I couldn't ask for more, really.
 
I really liked both Griffin and Whyborne. Griffin was the sort of bad boy of the Victorian era I would never have guessed existed and Whyborne was the smart, bookish type that liked to be invisible to everyone around him. Except that wasn't possible with Griffin. He noticed him and accepted him and it was kinda sweet.
 
The storyline was very engaging and I was continually cheering my two guys on to figure it out and to get that person or other. And at the end I almost cried. I cant go into details without spoiling it but this is not some boring, average historical fiction based mm romance. It's very good.

The third novel in this series but can be read as a standalone, Lord of Night was a lovely read. I adore historical romances and I particularly enjoyed that the hero of this story wasn't a duke (or something similar...)

I don't have much to say about this book other than I enjoyed it. They characters felt more dynamic than the cut and paste characters you read in other historical romances. The H/h had a sweet slow romance the naturally developed over times. It was a pleasure to read with a HEA that will leave the ready content.
