Jasper Detchard is a disgraced British officer, now selling his blade to the highest bidder. Currently that's Michael Elphberg, half-brother to the King of Ruritania. Michael wants the throne for himself, and Jasper is one of the scoundrels he hires to help him take it. But when Michael makes his move, things don't go entirely to plan - and the penalty for treason is death.
Rupert of Hentzau is Michael's newest addition to his sinister band of henchmen. Charming, lethal, and intolerably handsome, Rupert is out for his own ends - which seem to include getting Jasper into bed. But Jasper needs to work out what Rupert's really up to amid a maelstrom of plots, swordfights, scheming, impersonation, desire, betrayal, and murder.
Nobody can be trusted. Everyone has a secret. And love is the worst mistake you can make.
Contains mature themes.

While reading Prisoner of Zenda is not required, I would recommend it. It's so much more entertaining to have that background in mind while you see what the henchmen were really up to.
I loved this narrator as Jasper. He has just the right sneering attitude. There are one or two places where I quibbled with his tone of voice, but overall it's excellent.

This was an entertaining read, although it took awhile for things to start to come together for me. It was a little slower moving than some of KJ Charles's other books, but no less engaging. Once the story started coming together I found myself really enjoying it.
There was a lot of build-up to an ending that seemed almost a little too anti-climatic. I liked the epilogue, but I think I would have liked "seeing" more of what happened, instead of learning of it second hand, if that even makes sense!
I do like how this was presented as a memoir of sorts, but then we were thrown right into the action as it was happening.
Altogether another enjoyable read from Ms, Charles, helped in part by the narration by Anthony Ferguson. He did a terrific job bringing this story to life, I really liked listening to his performance.

Slow to start, but quite engaging.

Not a typical romance

K J Charles is a superb writer whose books deal with M/M romance in the 18th and 19th centuries, I'm a middle-aged (or old, depending on your point of view) straight woman, so was a little suprised at how much I got into this one. There are several sexy scenes, including one that's quite explicit, but they are intrinsic to the story and extremely well writen.
The "Henchmen'" story is a riff on "The Prisoner of Zenda," a swashbuckler written in the late 1800's that was made into several movie versions (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.!) as well as having spawned TV and other media versions. I haven't read "Zenda," but took the time to read the Wikipedia synopsis, and am glad I did, although it's not strictly necessary. Charles's version is not told by the "hero" who narrates the original novel, but by one of the villain's "henchmen." In a passage at the very end of "Henchmen," the narrator quotes a passage from the original that seems to make clear (at least to me) what started Charles thinking about an alternate version of this story.
The book has action, romance, humor, and great characters, including strong females. Extremely well read by Antony Ferguson, and clocking in at just over 7 hours, it's a total treat that defies genre classification. Enjoyable by anyone (well, by any adult--not really childrens' fare), i HIGHLY recommend it!
A Surprise Pleasure!
