4.5 stars. Highly entertaining, well-written, heart-warming story. I am always looking for mm romance that stands out so I was glad to find this, and will now read other books by Cat Sebastian. The characters and their evolving relationship are the strong point of the novel; the plot is interesting enough but I enjoyed the little window opened into the lives of low and high society in the early 19th century more than the actual storyline. As a romance, it's heartwarming, hot, and thoroughly sprinkled with humour that makes you grin while reading. A perfect, light summer read!
