The Gentleman's Book of Vices by Jess Everlee

5.0

---

Charlie's life is about to change. Despite his preference for men, he's engaged to a woman whose dowry will settle his debts. Determined to become a devoted husband, he sets about on his last hurrah as a bachelor: tracking down the author of his favorite erotic literature to get his signature. Finding Miles turns his life upside-down as their passionate affair turns to love. In a battle between honor and his very soul, which will Charlie choose?

This is a novel of surprising depth and passion. More than a love story, it's about the struggle to fit in to a rigid society with strict definitions of acceptable behavior. Charlie and Miles are both lovable, sympathetic characters. The strong supporting cast add to the fun.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
