Publisher's Summary
Will Darling came back from the Great War with a few scars, a lot of medals, and no idea what to do next. Inheriting his uncle's chaotic secondhand bookshop is a blessing...until strange visitors start making threats. First a criminal gang, then the War Office, both telling Will to give them the information they want, or else.
Will has no idea what that information is, and nobody to turn to, until Kim Secretan - charming, cultured, oddly attractive - steps in to offer help. As Kim and Will try to find answers and outrun trouble, mutual desire grows along with the danger.
And then Will discovers the truth about Kim. His identity, his past, his real intentions. Enraged and betrayed, Will never wants to see him again.
But Will possesses knowledge that could cost thousands of lives. Enemies are closing in on him from all sides - and Kim is the only man who can help.
Contains mature themes.

One of the best
The story is engaging, the characters are fabulous, the narration makes the class differences even more obvious. This is the beginning of a great romance, but it has enough genre fusion to please people who don’t read romance. It’s also kind of a historical pulp thriller, and even my husband listened to it and loved it. Recommended for everyone. It may be K J Charles’ best as well, and her books are consistently good.

Excellent!
KJ Charles keeps getting better as a writer. This was wonderful! Interesting story, great action, unique romance. I enjoyed the time period too: England after World War I.

Great Introduction to a New Series
Great HFN with potential for more on the romance side with spy-like plot with resolution of what looks to be a first phase.
Narration gives it extra depth.

Not My Favourite By KJ Charles
I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as I'd hoped that I would. There were two big things that really prevented me from loving it.
I can't go into detail about what it was that happened (because, spoilers), but at one point in the book, Will makes the decision to go to Kim... And it was completely the wrong decision, particularly based on how they left things, and Kim's unapologetic, lying character.
The second thing that prevented me from enjoying the book was, in fact, Kim's unapologetic, lying character. He's so unrepentant and almost villainous throughout, that I can't for the life of me understand why Will falls for him, aside from the fact that he's the only other gay man that we meet in the narrative.
The rest of K.J. Charles' writing is lovely. 2.5*

Grew on me
At first, the smut parts of this book really put me off. I guess just with the name of the series, I was NOT expecting that. But that really tapered out as the book went on and the plot did interest me. In the end, this book was okay and I might pick up the next one.
