I really enjoyed this story. It kept me guessing, was entertaining, and fun to read. I enjoyed the chemistry between the mains and the side characters were also fun.

overthinkereading's review against another edition

Picked up Nobleman’s Guide after reading The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, and definitely recommend reading that one first, as there is important backstory there that plays a major part in this follow up novel.

Similarly to Secret Lives, I found the characters compelling and the story engaging. I did not dislike reading this book.

However, there are two BIG drawbacks for me: 1) the author is not a queer male and I am a strong advocate for queer stories being written by queer authors (Own Voices); 2) there is a decision that occurs in the epilogue that utterly destroys all character growth for one of the MCs. Incredibly disappointing, to the point it made the story feel like it isn’t *actually* ending on a HEA.

It was a pleasant read. The romance was sweet, and their friendship was heartwarming and believable. 

They made each other better people by the end of the story.

9/10. This book was deliciously steamy, romantic, and intriguing. There were a million twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I love that the main leads became true friends before becoming lovers. Also, the plot was so rich and interesting outside of the romance. I actually read this one before the first book in the series so I do plan on rereading this when I can read the books in order.
