As a young man, Sir Gabriel Winters left behind his status as a gentleman, turning his back on his secret desires and taking a self-imposed vow of celibacy. Now he's a chaste, hardworking vicar, and his reputation is beyond reproach. But, try as he might, he's never forgotten the man he once desired or the pain of being abandoned by his first love.
Edward Stanhope, the duke of Caddonfell, is a notorious rake, delighting in scandal no matter the consequence. With a price on his head, he flees to the countryside, forced to keep his presence a secret or risk assassination. When Edward finds Gabriel on his estate, burning with fever, he cannot leave him to die, but taking him in puts them both in jeopardy.
With the help of a notorious blackmailer, a society of rich and famous gentlemen who prefer gentlemen, and a kitten named Buttons, they might just manage to save Edward's life - but the greatest threat may be to their hearts.
Contains mature themes.

While the story itself was good, I did not find any great mystery to be solved. Although I do have to admit the tiny twist at the end was a nice touch. And I may have to relisten to the last couple of chapters, w/o giving the whole ending away, I was under the impression everything was a lose? (Structure) So, how could the ending happen?
The narration was spot on and honestly was what kept me going through out the whole tale.
OK.

All that said, the writing was very good and I will certainly read more by Annabelle Greene. I suspect she will become a favorite of mine as time goes on because there was so much that ALMOST clicked perfectly in place.
I look forward to reading more :)

I was completely prepared to like this book. I adore the narrator and was so excited to listen to another Regency MM romance read by him. However.
There is very little character building early on. The characters didn't grab my attention at all, and the story line relies heavily on the setting and sexual desperation to catch the listener's attention without any interesting details or unique characterization. there is little feeling of MFEO between the main characters. Also, sick bed kissing. Eww.
I found myself groaning each time I thought about going back to this book, even when Gabriel's plucky sister entered the picture. I think I'd rather read about the main characters' siblings falling in love. it would be more interesting than the two MCs who, frankly, feel like they're just desperate for each other's bodies between bouts of manufactured awkwardness or anger.
If this is an early work by this author, I look forward to seeing how their writing grows. But this feels more like fan fiction than a well structured novel with character growth and tension. Bummer.
Even Cornell Collins Couldn't Revive This
