An Unnatural Vice by KJ Charles

Ah! I loved this!
I didn't read the first book in this series, but it didn't make this a confusing read or anything like that. It explained what had happened in the first book as things happened to the MC's in this book, so I was able to understand the main storyline fairly well.
I loved Justin and Nathaniel together. This story had a good enemies-to-lovers type feel and enemies to lovers is my bread and butter so I LOVED it. I think whenever these two fought or tried to one up the other, they both made good points and they both brought a different perspective that challenged the other's way of thinking.
To see them go from where they are at the beginning to how accepting and loving they are with each other at the end is wonderful.
Because Nathaniel starts out hating Justin and what he does because he thinks it's horrible to deceive people and use their grief for his own gain, and Justin isn't particularly fond of where Nathaniel gets off when he comes from a wealthy family and has never truly had to want for anything as he has, and he's fairly judgemental.
But then as they get to know each other they start to bend a little, and they accept each other, the good and bad, over the course of this novel and it's beautiful to see, and they both learn things are a lot more complicated than what's on the surface and Justin is more than a lying fraud and Nathaniel is more than a well off educated man.
Also, the sex didn't hurt either. It was super hot.
There is also drama going on with a Clem's family dealing with the succession of who the Earl will be because the last one died, and Nathaniel and Justin are pulled into it and have to leave to the countryside for a time to avoid being killed. Oh, the things people will do for money and power. So many horrible things.
By the end their fairly safe for the time being, but I'm betting it will all come to a head in the last book.
Loved this! Definitely recommend, whether you've read the first book or not :D
