HTML:A slow-burning romance and a chilling mystery bind two singular men in the suspenseful first book of a new Victorian series from K. J. Charles. Lodging-house keeper Clem Talleyfer prefers a quiet life. He??s happy with his hobbies, his work??and especially with his lodger Rowley Green, who becomes a friend over their long fireside evenings together. If only neat, precise, irresistible Mr. Green were interested in more than friendship. . . . Rowley just wants to be left alone??at least until he meets Clem, with his odd, charming ways and his glorious eyes. Two quiet men, lodging in the same house, coming to an understanding . . . it could be perfect. Then the brutally murdered corpse of another lodger is dumped on their doorstep and their peaceful life is shattered. Now Clem and Rowley find themselves caught up in a mystery, threatened on all sides by violent men, with a deadly London fog closing in on them. If they??re to see their way through, the pair must learn to share their secrets??and their hearts. Don??t miss any of the captivating Sins of the Cities novels: AN UNSEEN ATTRACTION | AN UNNATURAL VICE | AN UNSUITABLE HEIR And look for the enticing Society of Gentlemen series by KJ Charles: THE RUIN OF GABRIEL ASHLEIGH | A FASHIONABLE INDULGENCE | A SEDITIOUS AFFAIR | A GENTLEMAN??S POSITION Praise for An Unseen Attraction ??A particular pleasure of [K. J.] Charles??s work is spending time with her articulate (and often scathing) protagonists, who skewer their interlocutors and make agonizing admissions with fluency that is a joy to behold. Now, in contrast, comes Clem. . . . Rowley has no problem with words; he simply chooses not to reveal his well-armored heart. What they see in each other is a generosity of spirit revealed in everyday gestures.???Publishers Weekly (starred review) ??K. J. Charles is a superb storyteller and has once again crafted both an intriguing and engrossing story and a tender romance between two well-drawn protagonists whose unique personality traits inform their emotional and sexual relationships. Add to that the way she so thoroughly immerses the reader in the sights, sounds and smells of Victorian London, and the strong cast of secondary characters??some of whom will star in future books??and it??s fair to say that she??s got another winning series on her hands.???All About Romance No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The relationship between these two feels very fresh and carefully observed. I appreciated that, for instance, neither of them has a sense of humor. Their dialogue does not conform to the usual sharp-witted banter that is such a staple of the romance genre, but they still have plenty to say to one another. Charles' vision of romance feels democratic - you don't have to possess conventional good looks or a sparkling personality to find your match.
Otherwise, this very much Charles' signature blend of steamy romance, Victorian atmosphere, and suspense. There's a murder mystery, which is pretty straightforward but delivers plenty of thrilling action sequences. And there are memorable descriptions of air pollution in late Victorian London (great goddess, an entire generation must have died of COPD and lung cancer if something else didn't get them first).
