"Fantastic narration!" Lesetiger listened to An Uncommon Gentleman.
From the blurb:
John
I have served as a sailor in His Majesty’s Royal Navy for the past ten years and had no intention of
changing that path. The death of my uncle means I must return to Blackthorne Estate to take up my position as Lord and Master. I’ll step up to do my duty. My dearest wish is that my beloved joins me. When he chooses to accompany me, I set my mind to making him mine—body and soul.
Philip
I have been a sailor for nearly thirty years and never planned to retire until my captain orders it. When my beloved is called to attend to his family’s estate, he asks me to accompany him as a valet. I’m happy to do so as it keeps me close to him. He wants to grow the affection between the two of us, but I feel the need to hold myself apart. In the end, though, I suspect he will win this argument.
An Uncommon Gentleman is an 8k Regency gay romance short story. The story was previously available in Austen Tea Party: A Historical Romance Collection for Charity Inspired by Jane Austen. This version has been expanded.
Lesetiger's Review:
I love historical novels and this novella is well written. We get an insight into John and Philip's lives, first at sea and now on land. We learn a bit more about John, but due to the brevity there wasn't much character development or storyline. I still enjoyed the book though. The two of them are pretty cute together.
As always, Michael did a fantastic job narrating and brought John and Philip very much to life. He read with variety and for Michael's voice alone, I would have liked the audiobook to be longer!
