Sinless

When I requested this book to read from NetGallery, I did not realize it was a m/m story. But much to my surprise it was more about emotions and love than anything else and you could feel it coming through the pages. In historical times, the law forbade this type of relationship with penalty of death. So to actually step out and find someone that felt as you did and maintain that relationship was very scary. But as love will find a way it does in Lord Darius Shaw and Andrew Graham. This series is about the Shaw family and with Darius he is fortunate to have the support of his family. Andrew on the other hand is not as fortunate. He has a child to protect and his job as a lawyer depend upon his discretion. The two had met years ago when Andrew defended Darius's brother. Coming in contact again they begin to have feelings for each other. With a mystery to solve and a relationship to keep quiet, the author leads you through a winding path or strong emotions. You will enjoy this novella as the rest of Lynne Connolly's stories!

Lord Darius Shaw has a secret that could get him killed and destroy his family: he prefers the company of gentlemen, which his family accepts but society doesn’t, and if he were found out, he would be ruined professionally: he is a solicitor. He was at a bawdy house when a raid occurs, and Andrew Graham walks in. Andrew, also a solicitor, had met Darius when a member of Darius’ family ran into trouble. Andrew is a widower with a young child, but Darius has never been attracted to women, and Andrew realises he cannot get Darius out of his mind. What a fabulous character, this Darius! So seductive yet professional! The romance is painfully realistic, extremely well done, and newcomers to m/m romance need not worry, because the emphasis is on love and romance and not endless sex scenes. SINLESS is part of a The Shaws, which feature f/m for the other books. Try it, you’ll like it! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
