Street Lavender by Chris Hunt

There were a lot of things in this book that can be very hard to stomach but aren't addressed as such. The narrator/MC just treat them as matter of fact and I know few people have the luxury of doing the same. I'm one of the lucky few and was able to read the grimy bits without them leaving too much of unpleasant taste in my mouth. Read up on the warnings before you go in.
For me it was a good yarn. Very much a plot based story so I didn't find myself too attached to any of the characters. That's usually a deal breaker for me but it's historical detail and the storyline kept me engaged and the style was fun. There's no explicitly detailed sex scenes and it was all kept quite tasteful, this isn't your typical smut or even smut with a good plot thrown in. The sex that is described is really just there to move the story along. Anyway, it's a surprising gem for the era it's from and it's worth a read if you like the genre.
