Feb 2023: I could write a review every time I reread this and talk about something new that made me laugh or swoon, but I think I’ll just let the evergreen review below stand for all future rereads. Because there will definitely be more, and I will definitely fall more in love with it. My adoration knows no bounds.

Every time I read this book, I fall a little more in love with it.

KJ Charles the author that you are!!!

I rated the Lord Richard / David Cyprian book a full five stars but I may need to re-read and see if I like this one better than that one, especially with the context of Richard's shitty treatment of Dominic in this book.

I really appreciated how Silas continually reiterated to Dominic that there was nothing wrong for him wanting to do kink scenes (Richard is such a flop for making Dominic feel like he was a vile evil person????? for wanting a non-vanilla sex life???), and the way that the two men grew towards each other was super special. Plus, as ever with KJ Charles, the smut was HOT and tender simultaneously.

I prefer this to A Fashionable Indulgence as it features a

BDSM relationship

that's more to my tastes. Also, as a person belonging to the political fringe, I find an affair

across the political divide

quite exciting to read about. Like all smut it gets a little overtly romantic for my tastes at times (

exchanging presents, celebrating holidays,

that sort of thing) but I am ok with it. Not everyone wants to meditate on a minute description of a bruise or a collarbone and I can accept that. We find cutesy-ness in different things. Still, this is a strong effort. The three novels tie in together and should probably be read/listened to one after another. Which is what I'm doing.
