Less filthy than anticipated, considering the setting. A very charmed story, filled with nuanced, detailed characters, with a delightful, decadent setting.

Utterly delightful debut romance about a Victorian man who loves gay erotic novels and his meeting with his favorite author. The general trope set up is grumpy/sunshine, but I love that Charlie's sunny demeanor is hiding some pain and problems, and that grumpy Miles is really just in mourning. The unraveling of how these two get thrown together is such a joy, and the steamy bits are fantastic.
