The Soldier's Scoundrel (The Turner Series #1) by Cat Sebastian

 

 

 

 

Blurb:

A scoundrel who lives in the shadows

Jack Turner grew up in the darkness of London's slums, born into a life of crime and willing to do anything to keep his belly full and his siblings safe. Now he uses the tricks and schemes of the underworld to help those who need the kind of assistance only a scoundrel can provide. His distrust of the nobility runs deep and his services do not extend to the gorgeous high-born soldier who personifies everything Jack will never be.

A soldier untarnished by vice

After the chaos of war, Oliver Rivington craves the safe predictability of a gentleman's life-one that doesn't include sparring with a ne'er-do-well who flouts the law at every turn. But Jack tempts Oliver like no other man has before. Soon his yearning for the unapologetic criminal is only matched by Jack's pleasure in watching his genteel polish crumble every time they're together.

Two men only meant for each other

 

My review:

Two men from opposite sides of the tracks; one raised in comfort and one raised hungry both find in each other an illegal love. I loved the interplay between Oliver and Jack. I absolutely hate that their love had to be kept secret. I didn’t know how the author was going to keep them together. This was a fascinating tale of m/m love in old England. If you enjoy historical romance give this a shot. Does not disappoint.
