Summary
Is their real-life love story doomed to be a tragedy, or can they rewrite the ending?
London, 1883
Finely dressed and finely drunk, Charlie Price is a man dedicated to his vices. Chief among them is his explicit novel collection, though his impending marriage to a woman he can’t love will force his carefully curated collection into hiding.
Before it does, Charlie is determined to have one last hurrah: meeting his favorite author in person.
Miles Montague is more gifted as a smut writer than a shopkeep and uses his royalties to keep his flagging bookstore afloat. So when a cheerful dandy appears out of the mist with Miles's highly secret pen name on his pretty lips, Miles assumes the worst. But Charlie Price is no blackmailer; he’s Miles's biggest fan.
A scribbled signature on a worn book page sets off an affair as scorching as anything Miles has ever written. But Miles is clinging to a troubled past, while Charlie’s future has spun entirely out of his control…
Carina Adores is home to romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

Enjoyable Romance
The story was great, although I definitely recommend listening to it with headphones! It was a bit spicier than I expected, but I can't complain. The conclusion was satisfying and I liked the wider cast of characters around the two leads. You can really feel the sense of community between them. The narrator was generally good, but his female voices were a bit nasal and grating at times - it was particularly noticeable to me because I've recently listened to the book about Jo and the narrator for that gave her a lovely Irish accent.

Wonderful little find!
I really liked this book! There were so many very striking descriptions that were wonderful to hear and imagine! I loved how the sense of community in this book came across, it's very real and relatable. I'm also really grateful for the acknowledgement of the struggles that were commonplace in time it was set in. I'd definitely (and already have) recommend it to friends!
Performance wise, I wasn't 100% sure about of the voices the narrator gave to some characters, but the ones that were good were very good! They were also all unique and easy to distinguish from eachother.
