This book was an ok read. The writing was well-done, but I struggled to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Overall, I would call this a solid romance but it's not a favorite. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a historical gay romance. I previously read the 2nd book in the series and I definitely think this one was better in both writing and plot.

I listened to this as an audio book and my biggest criticism is the voice the narrator used for Smithy. Every time he used the voice, it really pulled me out of the moment.
