Mount TBR so far = 8/24

"When he learns that he could be the heir to an unexpected fortune, Harry Vane rejects his past as a Radical fighting for government reform and sets about wooing his lovely cousin. But his heart is captured instead by the most beautiful, chic man he’s ever met: the dandy tasked with instructing him in the manners and style of the ton. Harry’s new station demands conformity - and yet the one thing he desires is a taste of the wrong pair of lips.
After witnessing firsthand the horrors of Waterloo, Julius Norreys sought refuge behind the luxurious facade of the upper crust. Now he concerns himself exclusively with the cut of his coat and the quality of his boots. And yet his protégé is so unblemished by cynicism that he inspires the first flare of genuine desire Julius has felt in years. He cannot protect Harry from the worst excesses of society. But together they can withstand the high price of passion."
This was a reread a few weeks ago, and I've belatedly realised that I can use it to fill in another lj-bingo square (and I don't buy enough e-books to make it worth waiting for the next one, so... *g*)
This is the first book in my second favourite K.J. Charles series - The Society of Gentlemen trilogy (and my favourite book in the series, too). As I expect from Charles, the characters are real, the world is real, and its all made more interesting than just forbidden-love-in-the-past, because she makes that past a real place too. If you haven't already, these are definitely worth reading! *g*
Oh and also - Bingo again! Hurrah!

I love that series so much, and it's always the book I'm reading I like most.
