A slow-burning romance and a chilling mystery bind two singular men in the suspenseful first book of a new Victorian series from K. J. Charles.

Lodging-house keeper Clem Talleyfer prefers a quiet life. He's happy with his hobbies, his work - and especially with his lodger Rowley Green, who becomes a friend over their long fireside evenings together. If only neat, precise, irresistible Mr. Green were interested in more than friendship....

Rowley just wants to be left alone - at least until he meets Clem, with his odd, charming ways and his glorious eyes. Two quiet men, lodging in the same house, coming to an understanding...it could be perfect. Then the brutally murdered corpse of another lodger is dumped on their doorstep and their peaceful life is shattered. Now Clem and Rowley find themselves caught up in a mystery, threatened on all sides by violent men, with a deadly London fog closing in on them. If they're to see their way through, the pair must learn to share their secrets - and their hearts.

I'm fond of adventures featuring everyday people, and this is an excellent example. I felt like I could have been one of the other residents of the boarding house or regulars at the Jack and Knave. KJ Charles' historical worldbuilding is thorough without beating you over the head with endless descriptive passages, so that you're just dropped into the rich complexity of Victorian London and allowed to live there. This is a gentler, slower story than some of her wild rides, but there's plenty of excitement, a little horror, and some truly hilarious animals.

Delightful

I enjoyed this book and storyline completely. It kept me guessing and I am incredibly excited to listen to the next book!

Thrilling

The spicy scenes were a little gruff for my tastes, but everything else was enjoyable. The story is interesting and the characters are compelling.

Enjoyable, but NSFW

Wonderful fun Victorian romance, with the added allure of a muder mystery, family secrets, and illicit love.

Fun romp

Having read then listened to this book a couple times, it holds up. Clem is an odd duck on several front. Rowley Just wants not to be noticed…until Clem notices him. Unfortunately outside actors also notice them. There is trouble, some fighting, and some trauma in addition to date nights to see trapeze artists.

Clem & Rowley are good for each other & Clem’s friends have his back and it’s nice to see.

Worldbuilding: not paranormal. Good use of setting (London Fog) and detail. On rereading after completing the series, it’s fun to see what glimpses of the future I didn’t know about the first time through. It’s not so much like missing clues as what seems incidental now becomes important later, but it won’t matter until one rereads this. Good solid base for the trilogy+.

Steam: Med-Low. There is a reasonable amount of M/M fooling around on page, with some specificity, but it doesn’t dwell on the sex as much as the comfort & connection. There’s great dialogue about desires & consent.

Narration: I like listening to this story. It’s nicely done with consistent audio quality.

Comfort in found family for odd birds

I really loved the characters' weaknesses and fallacies and their jumped off the page, so to speak, so vividly I was very sorry when it ended. The mystery part was weak, so if a reader is looking for a complex gay murder mystery, you will be sadly disappointed. Also, the novel isn't completed by the end of it so if you like cliffhangers... But there is a certain number of things resolved and completed. I really wish these characters would get another novel, but I doubt they will.

One of KJ Charles best novels, a small caveat

This kind of romance story is my guilty pleasure, but I don't feel guilty about this book at all. It was well-written and interesting from start to finish. The characters, dialogue, and narrative pace were all wonderful. Even the cover, which I assumed was a generic romance novel image, is in fact accurately illustrating a particular scene in the book. There are so many dumb tropes in this genre that the author completely avoided. Just lovely!

I was also happy with the narrator. This book is a good one to listen to as there are several different accents at play, and one of the characters tends to shift back to the accent of his childhood when under emotional strain. The narrator was able to bring all that to life.

Am off now to see what else this author has written.

A wonderful listen

I loved this little mystery by KJ Charles.

Clem Talleyfer manages a lodgings house in Clerkenwell for his brother, among his lodgers are the quiet reserved Mr Rowley Green, a preserver of dead animals, a man Clem would very much like to share more than tea by the fire with, but also the deplorable MR Lugtrout - a retired parson with a penchant for drunkenness - who lives there rent free due to Clem's brother's kindness.

A series of odd incidents, seemingly not related at all, ends up with Mr. Lugtrout dead and his tortured body left on the doorstep of the lodgings house and Mr Green's shop broken into and set on fire.

Clem and Rowley are both quiet people and their romance is of the quiet, stumbling variety, but it is achingly sweet and lovely, even if it takes a little bit of a back seat to the mystery of the odd happenings.

The details of taxidermy was fascinating and the secondary characters interesting and obviously quite a few of them could be main characters in subsequent novels in the series. The ending was HFN - in keeping with the time the story is set in - for the couple, but the bigger story arc was left open and waiting for the next book.

Like 'Think of England' by the same author, some readers may find that the mystery part of this story overshadows the romance part, which I guess is true, but I didn't mind that one bit. The romance was sweet and steamy, the mystery was fun and engaging and as always Ms. Charles's vivid writing made the city of London such a presence as if it was almost another character in the story.

Warmly recommended.
