It's a fun gay regency, but there's some emotional pain that is mentioned though not graphically. There's a wealth gap, one is a black british man which is hard, the other is a wealthy man who became that way through some sad childhood trauma(s). Actually in a way the white guy receives the most prejudice, the black british man is a leader of a thriving minority community while his lover is an outcast both from being outed and from rumors of his childhood trauma circulating make him a scandal. Racism does exist though in this book. I always love that Cat Sebastian writes regency romances that have all the things I love about the genre but also reminds readers that England has never been the homogeneous place both many Britts and the authors of most books in this genre pretend it once was.
