Lucien is an Earl, reluctantly returned to England after the mysterious deaths of his father and brother. Stephen is a Magician, reluctantly (no fan of brother or father) assisting Lucien with a number of magical emergencies. Throughout the series Lucien and Stephen conquer adversaries (human and magical), fail to resist an intense attraction, build a strong group of friends, have evergreen arguments about work/life balance, address their mutual power imbalances, and fall in love.
It’s fun, hot, funny, mysterious, and there are romantic magical tattoos.

I expected a fairly entertaining but otherwise unremarkable little romance fantasy. But hell I loved the trilogy. The story, the magic, the characters. Just amazing. It was unique and lovely and tense and beautiful. The realtionships were great and KJ Charles somehow managed to balnce everything perfectly in just a few pages. The adventure, the love, sex, friendship, magic and so on. And it feels like the whole world could be expanded and lots more stories could be told. I sincerely hope so.

Most of the content that is named is briefly mentioned and doesn't go into detail. Except of course sexual content since it is a very steamy romance. (If you are not into gay couples maybe skip this one). There is also a relationship with a rather big age gap. Violence is also a topic that is rather detailled as well as death since it is about solving rather hidious crimes in a sense. If you are not good with reading about blood, torture, death and violence I would refrain from reading this series.madscientistcat's review against another edition
