Merry Farmer's return to MM historical fiction is a romantic suspense story steeped in early Victorian lore and steamy scenes..
From the Seduced by a Scoundrel blurb:
When the fate of the young Princess Victoria is on the line, can two very different men defend her interests and protect each other…all while reluctantly falling in love?
Jeremy Wilkes is the most popular tailor in London. Everyone who is anyone in the ton, particularly members of the newly formed organization known as The Brotherhood, go to him for all their sartorial needs. So when Sir John Conroy calls on his services, inviting him to Kensington Palace to take measurements, Jeremy is thrilled.
But while he’s there, he overhears Conroy and the Duchess of Kent secretly plotting to establish themselves as regents to rule in place of the young Princess Victoria once the king dies.
Jeremy’s life is suddenly in danger, so he turns to the only man who could possibly help him, Metropolitan Police Officer Derek Talboys.
Still mourning the death of his lover, Derek is willing to help Jeremy…and maybe flirt with him as well. He is looking for fun and distraction for his broken heart, not love. But when an attempt is made on Jeremy’s life, their connection takes several more serious turns.
Can Derek hide Jeremy and keep him safe while also protecting the interests of Princess Victoria? Or is heart the thing that is truly in danger as the web of intrigue surrounding the crown brings him and Jeremy closer?
Seduced by a Scoundrel is a fast-paced, heartfelt very early-Victorian, gay romance that involves a tough guy and a sensitive soul who are opposites in so many ways, but rely on each other for protection and passion. The Tales from the Brotherhood series follows directly after The Brotherhood – Origins MM Regency Romance series and continues to tell the story of the early days of The Brotherhood.
Heather's Review:
Wahoo! Another chance to explore the depths of The Brotherhood - in it's next phase... and to see Merry Farmer flex her historical research and devious mind as we follow threads and plots while watching opposites attract and the steam rise!
This book was well paced, with a balance between the suspense and the romance and lots of historical tidbits... You can really see how this series is going to explore early Victorian times and give us a chance to see how the brotherhood develops... If you haven't read Merry Farmer before, this book is a good place to start, but I do recommend checking out the original Brotherhood - Origins series as well.
