I'd heard, and even knew a bit, about the former. The latter? Sad to say, not so much.
So, for my part, a little new knowledge is a good thing!
As the novel begins, Jack Lark is back in England after his exploits in America (during the Civil War) and Mexico of the previous entries; back where - I feel - he belongs (ummm, speaking internationally, that is, rather than his precise circumstances!) and running Victorian slumming 'tours' (for want of a better word) for the rich who have more money than sense!
I don't *think* I'm giving anything away when I say that one such tour inevitably goes wrong, leading Jack - and a few companions - to flee the country, travelling to Ethiopia to join the expedition against the Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia, more concerned with what they can purloin along the way than the rights and wrongs of the situation that led to the campaign in the first place!
All in all, another solid entry in the series: I'm looking forward to where Jack ends up next!

Max is a trainer at a gym and thinks that if he makes enough money, he will be happy. He's not bothered if his making enough money means he poaches clients from his fellow trainers. In fact, he's not bothered by how anyone feels at all. Daniel is a sweetie who is reeling from his father's death of a heart attack at only 50. As a professor, Daniel is worried about being too sedentary and following in his father's footsteps. After a quick but steamy time in the shower together, Max and Daniel separate for about half the book, as it follows them on their own paths.
Luckily for me, the horror rating on this is quite low, although that Bogeyman showing up as he did gave me the chills! The kink is high and I love how everything was something Max could use with Daniel.
The pacing was very fast and, being 100% honest, I don't believe Max would have completely learnt his lessons that fast. Perhaps the threat of the Bogeyman returning was threat enough to keep him honest?!
A short and kinky story that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.
