 I found one!!! A male/male story that isn't about 'shock factor' with explicit scenes etc but about the love story! As it's first person though, the developing romance is one sided but still, I liked it.

 Aww yay! Finally another m/m story that isn't just about the graphic sex! I love these stories, because they seem so rare and really they shouldn't be. What's wrong with reading about people falling in love? I mean realy. 
 I found this world very interesting and I would have liked to know more, but as it was first person, we were limited to what the character knew which wasn't actually that much. One thing that strikes me is how much this book reminded me of memoirs of a Geisha and I'm not totally sure why, beyond the fact his lively hood was to look pretty for the people who paid, but then revolution came and eradicated that job. 
 The emotional roller coaster at the end was particularly gripping and I was on the edge of my seat! I will certainly be looking out for other books by this author.
