A Seditious Affair

Society of Gentlemen, Book 2

De: KJ Charles

Narrado por: Matthew Lloyd Davies

K. J. Charles turns up the heat in her new Society of Gentlemen novel as two lovers face off in a sensual duel that challenges their deepest beliefs.

Silas Mason has no illusions about himself. He's not lovable or even likable. He's an overbearing idealist, a radical bookseller and pamphleteer who lives for revolution...and for Wednesday nights. Every week he meets anonymously with the same man, in whom Silas has discovered the ideal meld of intellectual companionship and absolute obedience to his sexual commands. But, unbeknownst to Silas, his closest friend is also his greatest enemy, with the power to see him hanged - or spare his life.

A loyal, well-born gentleman official, Dominic Frey is torn apart by his affair with Silas. By the light of day, he cannot fathom the intoxicating lust that drives him to meet with the radical week after week. In the bedroom everything else falls away. Their needs match, and they are united by sympathy for each other's deepest vulnerabilities. But when Silas' politics earn him a death sentence, desire clashes with duty, and Dominic finds himself doing everything he can to save the man who stole his heart.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This book is so good I read it in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down. K. J. Charles has long been one of my favorite authors, and this book doesn’t disappoint. A Seditious Affair is a beautiful love story interwoven with the realism of the political unrest of the time - another winner from K. J. Charles!" ( USA Today best-selling author Carole Mortimer)

Outstanding

One of the many things I appreciate about KJ Charles writing is how well researched are all her books.

A Seditious Affair is a wonderfully written and entertaining story that mixes politics and sex perfectly.

Mathew Lloyd Davis performance was top notch.

Excellent

I don’t read much historical romance, but this one was great—the plot, Silas and Dom’s stalwart defense of their disparate political beliefs, but the respect they still feel and (mostly) show for one another and the historical dynamics of that time in England’s history all work together to create an appealing and insightful story. Additionally, the narration is wonderful and definitely adds something to an already great story.

sometimes difficult to keep up ☺️

Dominic and Sylus . they are two of the opposites and at one point Shakespeare literally has to tie them together. Reminds me of Romeo and Juliet but with BDSM and posh. Very political but in the best way possible, they both fight for justice and judicial system and have to manage their relationship being on opposite ends. The ending was very, anticipating. I think I'm going to enjoy the next installment more because Syprius seems like a very interesting character and it seems like Richard will alter his views as well a bit. All the characters are so hard willed I love it! It's a very common theme in KJ Charles' work and I'm hella here for it.

It's difficult to keep up with in the beginning because I was trying to recall the first book and what happened where etc. but I get passed all the jumble.

This book really made me feel bad for the characters in that it is illegal for them to bed each other. It's the same for her other books but that one scene in this book really made me afraid for them. I love that the author doesn't surround the main story around it, well they do but it's not the main theme of the book. Much like her other novels.
2021 is filled with KJ Charles.

Opposites attract

I’m never clear how authentic the language is to the historical setting, but it’s clear that Charles has done some research into the slang and dirty talk of the era. While it saddens me to know this, it is in keeping with the historical setting that the laws of the time made both writing and acts highly illegal. This book, for example, would have (a) never been written, but, if it had, (b) been illegal to sell. I am thankful to live in a much more free time. In this novel, these themes and more are explored through the love affair between opposites, in an early BDSM type relationship. About the only things they agree on are the value of books, that men who have relations with men probably shouldn’t be hanged, and that they fill each other’s needs. Some of the political positions of the time are restated, possibly to help the modern reader understand the thinking of the time, especially the thinking of the historical noble class, but the true value is the love affair, and how both Dominic and Silas learn to compromise, or perhaps that they were never as far apart as they thought.

Amazing!!

The Story: 4.5 Pants Off

KJ Charles has done it again!! Like this be mad hot fire and out of this world brilliant.

Silas is a cranky man, he’s a radical and he makes no illusions about who he is and what he believes in. Domenic Frey is on the other end of the spectrum, he’s a man with money and prestige who likes to get off in the seedier parts of town. What he doesn’t know is that his Wednesday hookups is none other than radical Silas, and the rest you can say is history.

There’s gonna be spark, there’s gonna be fire, there’s gonna be glorious fecking.

The writing is superb, if you wanna jizz in your pants off some words, this is the freaking series for you. Multilevel characters, a story that’s inclusive and A Sedious Affair is the story you don’t want to miss.

And while it’s all glorious and sexy it doesn’t shy away from the reminders that two men in or just men being together is exponentially dangerous and could lead to a hanging.

How does one remain with their Pants 👖 on for this remarkable piece of work?!

I recommend it, if you love historical romances, and I recommend it because KJ “fantastic” Charles did the darn thing 💁‍♀️
