Why did I wait so long to read this series??
Murdo and David were so lovely together. Watching their relationship progress from a tentative friendship with benefits to finally acknowledging their love for each other was amazing. I'm so happy that David was finally able to overcome his fears and Murdo was able to overcome his societal obligations (obliterated them in the best way, really) in order to truly be who they wanted to be with each other. This last book was just perfection. 5 stars

Lo que más amé:
- Murdo cuidando a David y comportándose como una mamá gallina con él xd
- Cuando David no regresa a dormir a la mansión de Murdo luego de discutir con él y al otro día cuando David vuelve a casa se da cuenta que Murdo no pudo dormir de lo preocupado que estaba de que le hubiese pasado algo. AAAAA EL ANGST Y EL COMFORT WEONA

This is more of a review for the whole series, than just this one book. I loved the series, although book 1 was a bit slow going for me. Do NOT stop with book 1, or you'll miss out on a beautiful love story.
I always hesitate on historical M/M. Not because I dislike historical romance, I actually love them, but because it's just much harder in M/M. In historical romance, there is always that added shame and fear of discovery, always having to hide, that just makes a HEA much harder to come by, and to believe.
I thought this series did very well with all those issues- the reality of the fear and the shame, that David, especially felt in the beginning, and how David and Murdo slowly started to fall for each other, and finally accept that they had to find a way to be together.
I also liked how all the little plot points continued throughout the series. For instance, the Chalmers family, especially Elizabeth, I love how it was never dropped for forgotten, and how things got resolved.
All in all, this was a fabulous series, and I should really learn to trust my GR friends, and stop waiting so long to read them.

It is such a shame that the rest of this series is not available in audiobook. I will be forced to take my time reading the rest. And I WILL continue if only to find out what will happen next in David and Murdo's story.

OK fine!!! The romance pulled at my heartstrings and finally I believe that they're not just horny for each other but actually love each other. Fine!! I liked it!! Everything wrapped up nicely and we got a "my beloved" which is
