Synopsis

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.

I think this just boils down to personal preference, but I am not a fan of low plot just vibes books and therefore this one didn't work for me. Most of the story I was bored while reading, even though all of the characters are very sweet and likeable.......more

PLOTLESS AND FORGETABBLE Honestly, if I didn't take notes during my reading, I would not remember this book. Even with my notes, I struggle to remember anything. However, I do remember that it didn't impress me. 👎 What I Disliked 👎 Plot: The plot really didn't hit the spot for me. I struggled to even......more

Found family and and a good romance are all I need in a story these days, and this one featured both. The Gentleman's Book of Vices was honestly a lot more heartfelt than the synopsis makes it out to be, presenting a handful of varyingly troubled characters that I came to adore. The grumpy x sunshin......more
