I love an enemies to lovers, (somewhat) slow burn.
I really enjoyed the characters for the same reason I read so much Sherlock smut. You have the injured soldier with a heart of gold, who's just trying to figure himself out. A foil for the dark and handsome eccentric man whose sharp wit and clever tongue hide a more nuanced personality.

Cotent warning: 
It got a little violent. After reading the first book, I was expecting another country manor house murder mystery... this was not that. 

There is killing very much "on screen" if you will.
I had no problem with this. Found it very fitting, and in character, but I know could be a trigger for some.

This book was a miss for me. While I find KJ Charles to be a really talented writer, the dynamic between Archie and Daniel was dysfunctional at best and toxic at worst. Even though Archie chooses Daniel at the end, it feels reluctant given his hostility throughout the early book. Even more than hostility, his overt homophobia, racism and anti-Semitism make him pretty irredeemable to me. Learning the errors of his ways does not absolve him of being a straight up jerk to his love interest.
