I admit, I am very new in historical/regency MM romance -- I was only converted last year. BUT, I discovered that there was different kind of joy coming from historical/regency MM that I could relish in (one of them is that none of these Lords or Earls or Duke will call their lover, "BABY" *haha*). ...

The story was actually quite good. I rather enjoyed the interactions between the characters.I totally called the Dorian-almost-getting-enslaved thing, although I kind of wanted it to go a little further...I thought the ending was rather abrupt, though. It ended before the story got a chance to finis...

O: I SEE "CONSUMPTIVE"Julio, look at what you've done to me.I like it. Leander, first off, has a really cool name. In addition, he's naive, yes, but not altogether stupid. It's rather refreshing. He's not an ingenue. It's cool.So, yeah. It was good; I quite liked it, but then it was plot, plot, plot...

Enjoyable M/M historical fiction with two winning leads. Leander is especially adorable as the wide-eyed American, trying to deal with his new title. Though there isn't a huge amount of sex, I really liked his relationship with Julien, and found most of the stuff about his entry into society, his e...

My liking of historical romance is growing by each book. I never really was a huge fan of historicals, but it seems that I'm slowing growing more tolerance for it nowadays.This was a book of well written cliches. The plot was okay, the characters were likable, the romance had me rooting for them (th...

This book was really good and the couple it was based on were really good together and I loved both Leander and Julien together. One of the problems was the book in parts was a bit boring and the evil character was not much of a shock. Nothing in this book was for me which is why I was disappointed ...

I'm torn between giving this book the strongest 3 ever vs. the weakest 4 ever. It's a tough call. The characters were very likable, and it was delicious to see jaded man-about-town Julien as he fell for wide-eyed, naive newcomer Leander. What drags this story down a little for me, though, is the sus...

I want to say something about this book but I'm not quite sure what. I struggled with what to rate it, finally settling on 4.5 rounded up to 5, but I'm not certain of that. I loved it, enjoyed the characters and story and was engrossed. It reminded me of the m/f historical romances I used to read so...

First let me say that I love V.B. Kildaire's style of writing. I absolutely loved The Desire for Dearborne and, even though I'm not a huge fan of fantasy (and held off reading this for a long time because of that fact), as soon as I started I was pulled into the story and became invested in the live...

I'm a big fan of gay romance books. And I love historical romances. This book combines these two categories and I was eager to read it.Leander is a young american who comes into succesion of an english Earldom. He is very young, innocent and insecure. With no friends and a bad health he is not prepa...
