This has been in my TBR files forever. I admit I put it off because I was unsure about reading about two men who fall in love in post-colonial Virginia having a happy ending. Finally my curiousity got the better of me, and I gave this book a try. I am glad I did.

Michael St. James is a rogue. Banned by his father for his scandalous behavior to a podunk town in Virginia, he believes he has been trapped in one of the four corners of Hell. Always fashionable and living in the now, he More...

Michael and Daniel's relationship was so much fun to watch devel More...

I picked this book for two reasons, the first was men in breeches and the second was those men doing it together in very hot way. The plot is not the thing which should be taken as the golden piece of literature, but it is surprisingly smooth and there is also some hint of characters development. The historical accurancy is practically none. But it is porn, right?
Michael St. James was rascal to the bone, who was banished to the backwater town in order to ger out of the sight of the society More...

The "not too much" part in my historical label is too pronounced.
The transitions from contempt -> attraction -> love -> concern are, wanting to put it mildly, abrupt.
