I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads 
 3.5 Stars. 
 This is Cat Sebastian's debut novel, and an excellent addition to MM Historical Romance. I found the writing style fluid, giving necessary detailing without bogging down the book with purple prose, and emotionally engaging. 
 This is definitely a story where two men from different walks of life and class structures work together for a common goal, and slowly fall for one another. Lust at the start, slow-burn romance, where the heroes spend a lot of time together truly getting to know one another, making it feel as if time had passed for a natural and realistic connection- removing the possibility of any insta-anything. 
 Jack Turner was born a con-artist, criminal. Jack, his sister, and brother crawled out of the gutter and have made a name for themselves, not always in a legal fashion. Jack and family are survivors. But there is a caring, altruistic side to Jack, as he helps those who are unfortunate and proper ladies alike. No gentlemen. If you have a problem, Jack will fix it- for a fee, of course. But he won't tell you the means in which he uses, as they are of the criminal sort. 
 In walks in Oliver, the brother to one of Jack's clients. Jack had helped her remove her abusive, gentleman husband from her life, for a fee, and Oliver wants to know the how/why/why/when of it all. But there is a tie that binds, as Jack was the bad husband's valet for a time, making him able to do his task at hand. 
 What occurs on the pages is Oliver's intrigue with Jack. Oliver is a wounded war hero, who now doesn't know where he fits in civilized society, finding it all boring and unnecessary. He's drawn to Jack, drawn to the need to feel useful, helpful, and is insanely attracted to the man. 
 While I loved the slight mystery that drew the characters together, and their banter-filled, slow-burn romance, the length and pacing of the story did have my mind wandering a time or two, and my finger clicking the pages as I skimmed. Guilty, and it makes me feel bad for doing it, let alone admitting it. It just needed a bit of spice, or action, to keep me engage. 
 All in all, I thought this was a solid MM Historical Romance. I look forward to more from this author, and I recommend The Soldier's Scoundrel.
