This is an enjoyable M/M historical romance that doesn't get too edgy and has a very modern feel. The real dangers of the era are somewhat glossed over and as such, it does lose both authenticity and an organic nature. The chemistry is also missing quite a bit and I never got much of a reason for the pairing other than a) boredom on one side and b) idolization on the other. But both leads were fairly affable, as were the side characters.
