“Sebastian proves she is a new force to be reckoned with in historical romances.”—Booklist Rogue. Libertine. Rake. Lord Courtenay has been called many things and has never much cared. But after the publication of a salacious novel supposedly based on his exploits, he finds himself shunned from society. Unable to see his nephew, he is willing to do anything to improve his reputation, even if that means spending time with the most proper man in London. Julian Medlock has spent years becoming the epitome of correct behavior. As far as he cares, if Courtenay finds himself in hot water, it’s his own fault for behaving so badly—and being so blasted irresistible. But when Julian’s sister asks him to rehabilitate Courtenay’s image, Julian is forced to spend time with the man he loathes—and lusts after—most. As Courtenay begins to yearn for a love he fears he doesn’t deserve, Julian starts to understand how desire can drive a man to abandon all sense of propriety. But he has secrets he’s determined to keep, because if the truth came out, it would ruin everyone he loves. Together, they must decide what they’re willing to risk for love.

What a fun series this has been. I didn’t know I would enjoy historical romances this much, but I really did. And the ending is super sweet and amazing... loved the way the author interconnected all three stories !!!

A queer (one half of the main couple is gay; one is bi), sexy spin on Georgette Heyer's Sylvester? 

Um, YES PLEASE.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Not only did the author get me to engage with two characters who are not portrayed as particularly sympathetic in The Lawrence Browne Affair, she actually got me to tear up a little at one of their scenes (no spoilers here, but if you know, you know). Respect.

Also nice to have some cameos from previous stories, however fleeting.

Will definitely be checking out more of Ms Sebastian's stuff!
