Gothic romance with a twist.
Elements of The Sound of Music, The Enchanted Garden, Jane Eyre, and "true" ghost hunting shows make this story feel familiar. Gay love makes it unique.
Seeing an ad for a position at a Yorkshire estate, typesetter Graham Cowrie decides to make an upward career move by passing himself off as a tutor. How hard can it be to teach a few subjects to a pair of nine-year-old boys? But on his arrival at the ancient house, he finds the staff creepy, the twins odd, and the widowed master temporarily absent.
His first meeting with brooding, stern, but oh-so-attractive Sir Richard doesn't go well, but with no other prospects vying for the teaching position, Graham manages to keep it. His mission soon becomes clear: break down the walls of reserve both father and sons have erected, and attempt to bridge the gap between them.
But strange sounds, sights, and experiences keep Graham on edge until he finally admits the Hall is haunted by two entities with very different agendas. Graham works to appease one and combat the other, while protecting the broken family he's grown to care for.

A very average gothic tale in all aspects

I really enjoyed this story and will totally be looking for more from this author. I generally don’t enjoy children in my leisure reading but the twins were an integral part of the story and very well done. I also really enjoyed the ghosts, and hoped for some sort of afterlife HEA for one of them. I would sooo love for the author to write a short about that!
Ahem, at any rate, I almost passed on this when I listened to the sample, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance. If this seems like the sort of thing you like, then I think you will love it!
Wonderful Gothic Romance

The main story is the ghost story, the mystery behind this house and family and the hints that something might be wrong. Its a true gothic ghost story. We have the widower who might be a killer, from beginning we aren't to sure. We don't get to see the whole character until further in the story. Then we have the two children twins, which adds to the spooky factor. One talks then other one doesn't, they witnessed something or know something. Then we have the people who work in the house, very mysterious people who don't seem to care for the new guy.
The tutor is an interesting character because he also has his own secrets. He lied about who he was or his background and happens to be gay. The story adds another level when he starts to experience paranormal phenomenon in the house and the adds another layer when we find out he is attracted to the man of the house.
The build up was amazing, very satisfying. First we have the mystery of the house and second the attraction between the two men. We see them almost connecting, the looks the maybe maybe not and then we get the full on connection. At first its unclear if it's just a one time thing or lust but towards the end it has a happy ending.
The ghost part also comes full circle, we finally know what really happen to the mother and why the boys are the way they are. This darkness around the house is evil and it can take anyone. I also like that it's unclear if it was completely destroyed or is it just contained.
The whole story was great because it had so many things I like, mystery, ghost, gothic house and romance.

Dark, Intriguing, and Sexy!

The darker supernatural elements don't take away from the essentially light-hearted tone of the book. I don't want to give away spoilers, but the only time any gory or disturbing bits occur are in the second to last chapter. Even there, things are referred to pretty vaguely and interrupted by the protagonists fighting back with happy things.
The narrator managed to distinguish little kid voices from adult voices without making them sound creepy. Yay!
Queer, magical Jane Eyre

I do like a good ghost story and while this one was entertaining, I wish there had been more focus on the haunting, instead of just a tiny bit here and there, and then a pretty easy wrap up at the end. The romance aspect, while not quite forced, also seemed a little too easy, all things considered. Overall I did enjoy The Tutor, especially Graham and the relationship he built with the twins. And I am glad they all got their, hopefully, happily ever after!
I very much enjoyed Ruri Carter's narration. He did a wonderful job with all the voices. He did a great job of performing, not just reading. I really liked how he was able to switch so easily between characters, especially when Graham would drop his more posh way of speaking and revert to how he used to speak. He's definitely a narrator I will be looking to listen to more of in the future.
