Publisher's summary

Two men exiled to an untamed land must capture love.

Ever since Cambridge-bound Colin Lancaster spied on stable master Patrick Callahan mastering another man, he's longed for Patrick to do the same to him. When Patrick is caught with his pants down and threatened with death for his crime, Colin speaks up in his defense and confesses his own sinful nature. They're soon banished to the faraway prison colony of Australia.

Patrick never asked for Colin's help, and now he's stuck with the pampered fool. While it's true that being transported to Australia is a far cry from the luxury Colin is accustomed to, he's determined to make the best of it and prove himself. Patrick learned long ago that love is a fairy tale, but he's inexorably drawn to sweet, optimistic Colin despite himself.

From the miserable depths of a prison ship to the vast, untamed Australian outback, Colin and Patrick must rely on each other. Danger lurks everywhere, and when they unexpectedly get the chance to escape to a new life as cowboys, they'll need each other more than ever.

Contains mature themes.

Loved It!

I absolutely loved this book. It was my first from this author, and my first from this narrator. Great world building and wonderful characters. By sheer happenstance, I've never read a book from this time period where homosexuality was punishable by death, so this story almost felt like nonfiction to me. I loved Colin and how he was treated by his family broke my heart so much, I actually had to take a break. It was so hurtful and he was just so alone and out of his element. I also really liked Patrick, though he was jaded and at times his standoffishness, and/or stubbornness, was a little painful. This story was quite the journey, both literally and emotionally, suspenseful and dangerous, and I loved how it ended. I also loved supporting characters Emily and Robbie. I wish there was a sequel or even a bonus short story for this book to see all their lives maybe a year later or something!

I thought Joel Leslie did a fantastic job with his narration. He had distinct voices for all the characters, and I especially liked Patrick's Irish accent.

My heart beats a little faster!

This story broke me. It saddens me to think story’s like these are probably true in how same sex love was treated in the begging.

It’s steam without taking away from the story line or from the love that starts between Collin and Patrick. They are so perfect for one another!

Fabulous story!

So much chemistry and tension

The Australian setting is realized so well. Vibrant, hot, dry, and full of things that'll kill you. Hell, even the voyage to Australia has a well-crafted boat setting, muggy and tense. It brings the story to life. The MCs are strong, distinct characters. The romance is believable (and sexy), and the characters are lovable. Seemed there should've been more mention of what they lost, not just what they gained. It's like the book was apprehensive to show even brief angst despite characters and situations designed for at least a bit of it. The conclusion left some serious matters from the climatic action scene unresolved (not related to the romance). A few small things felt imbued with significance like they were a clue for a future scene, but they don't come back up in any important way. Why don't we ever circle back to the ring & the letters to family...?

It's awfully infuriating that everyone seems so convinced Colin is too much of a well-born gentleman to be suffering among the other prisoners, but Patrick is too low-born to be afforded the same empathy even after lovable characters get to know him. It's realistic, just upsetting. Patrick deserved to be a lot angrier.

Great escapist romance

This was a well-written and nicely narrated gay romance in the grand tradition of the bodice ripper. I really enjoyed it.

Interesting historical story

Interesting story about the beginning of Australia as a “prison” and the treatment of gays in England.

Sweet story about love and resilience

Another great story from this author about two MCs that grow as people and learn to trust and love one another. The narrator did a great job and I'll be checking out more stories from this author. I'd recommend this story.

What’s in Australia, stays in Australia

The drama, thriller, excitement, and R rated romance just keeps getting better and better.
Two men, one Irish, one born in a ‘perfect’ English class- just one of the best backgrounds possibly used!! A well planned and thought out story.
