Publisher's summary

A scoundrel who lives in the shadows.

Jack Turner grew up in the darkness of London's slums, born into a life of crime and willing to do anything to keep his belly full and his siblings safe. Now he uses the tricks and schemes of the underworld to help those who need the kind of assistance only a scoundrel can provide. His distrust of the nobility runs deep, and his services do not extend to the gorgeous high-born soldier who personifies everything Jack will never be.

A soldier untarnished by vice.

After the chaos of war, Oliver Rivington craves the safe predictability of a gentleman's life - one that doesn't include sparring with a ne'er-do-well who flouts the law at every turn. But Jack tempts Oliver like no other man has before. Soon his yearning for the unapologetic criminal is matched only by Jack's pleasure in watching his genteel polish crumble every time they're together.

Two men meant only for each other.

Excellent historical

Gary Furlong made this an excellent experience. His performance of the different accents between the classes and the different characters was so good, I could practically see each character in my mind. Loved it!

Quite Refreshing

I heard this book described as a "Sherlock Holmes of the gay London underbelly", and I kind of like that. I really liked the cases, I really liked the characters, I really liked the story. For all that it would be impossible for an Earl's son and a scoundrel to be together (ignoring the day party and focusing only on the class issue), Oliver is a second son with his own finances. Most importantly, there's a bit of a scoundrel in Oliver and a bit of gentleman in Jack, and that's how these two make it work. Also, amazing performance by the narrator; truly superb.

A terrific book.

This story starts with the "soldier" and goes through to their eating at a whorehouse at night, to their travels and to the fairly embarrassing finish. The scoundrel comes to the rescue and insures the happily ever after.

another great one from Cat S.

Really loved this story, and the characters! I love the agonized way she writes Jack, and seeing him slowly fall madly in love and opening up to Oliver was very sweet.

Cat Sebastian is a balm for my gay heart.

This is one of my favorite comfort books. It's a little bit Sherlock and Watson, without outright actually being Sherlock and Watson. Give it a go.

So well written!

And perfectly narrated. The love story and mysteries meshed well and never had me rolling my eyes at anachronisms and implausible behavior. The H/H attraction and conflict were both tender and realistic. If you avoid m2m sex scenes, move along. Otherwise, if you are looking for a well written, intelligent, sexy, absorbing romance, this book is for you.

Wonderful story and storytelling!

I'm in love with Cat Sebastian "turner" series and Gary Furlong is just the voice for this series audio book. He's a voice genius when it comes to distinguishing voices of various characters in this story. The lead pair banter is hilarious, especially Jack's "bugger off" ;). A must listen if you are liked the series. Looking forward to more of Gary's performances.

JK Charles but without the blood

As a big fan of JK Charles, I was delighted to come across Cat Sebastian. Gay period drama with a mystery, yes! I was delighted by the angsty but litterally non-bloody mystery of this book.
The narration was adequate for the story.
