The Gentleman's Book of Vices is such a lovely romance! Set in London, in 1883, Charlie Price is one of the main leads that has a lot of vices, including a large smut collection. Charlie sets out to meet one of his favorite authors as one last adventure before settling down and getting married. In meeting Miles Montague, Charlie finds an interesting character that he can't help but build a friendship with that slowly builds into something more.
I loved the relationship between Charlie and Miles! The way that they learned to care for each other and look after each other with all of the challenges that they had in their personal lives, that impacted their relationship was so sweet and endearing. Jess Everlee has a fluid writing style and the main conflict was built up and resolved wonderfully.
Even if you're not a fan of historical romance, I strongly recommended The Gentleman's Book of Vices for a tender and heartful queer romance.
Thank you to Carine Press & Carina Adores (Harlequin) and Netgalley for a copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
