There is a lot of action packed into this well written tale of familial greed, love and devotion. The main characters are well crafted and likable. I could easily have read another 100 pages.

Vernon Rocheford, Earl of Quilton, has no desire to get married--well, since society would only allow him to do so with a woman. As a man of station, he is able to participate in a dalliance here and there whilst avoiding scandal. But when he pops into the Parthenon, a brothel that caters to men with his interests, one evening, he spies Sebastian Worthing. Seb has decided to auction off two years of companionship to get the money to keep his mother and sisters from falling into utter disgrace after the death of their father. Vernon is not at all interested in such an arrangement, but after he looks into Seb's eyes and is reminded of a former lover and he worries what might happen to him if he goes home with one of the other bidders, Vernon decided to help Sebastian out after all. But what Vernon intends to be a quick exchange of cash and more of a two-year friendship than anything else quickly turns out to be more than he bargained for.

A rather unique Regency romance that pulled me right in. There's an interesting and unexpected backstory here that is revealed slowly and smoothly over the course of the book. And it's not difficult at all to really feel for Sebastian and the place he's ended up.

There were some moments when character point of view threw me just a bit, but not enough to really distract from following the story.

I'm looking forward to picking up the next book in this series...

Pretty entertaining in a Georgette Heyer knock-off manner.
