Summary
Book two in a new historical M/M series from award-winning author Isobel Starling.
Tuesday 28th, December 1897. Mr. Benedict Hannan, the owner of Hannan’s Auction House in Fitzrovia, London, receives an unexpected visitor at his Bloomsbury home. The man on his stoop sends Benedict’s heart into a flutter, and on inviting the mysterious stranger into his house, he is inviting mystery, adventure, and volcanic desire.
Sebastian Cavell, master thief, gives the impression he has sought out Benedict for the sake of business, but the kind of business Sebastian has in mind has nothing to do with making money! Cavell has been tasked with finding the whereabouts of a missing German aristocrat. With Benedict’s society connections, Sebastian gains access to his Gentleman’s Club and to men whose behavior is not so gentlemanly!
Benedict is pulled into the circle of a dangerous secret society, and he not only learns the truth about the mysterious Sebastian Cavell, but learns the truth about himself and all he truly desires.
FYI: This is historical gay romance and contains scenes of a graphic sexual nature.

These gentlemen stole my heart
I read and listened to The Shooting Season at the end of last year, and knew I had to read this second book as soon as it came out. The continuation and growth of a relationship between Benedict and Sebastian is everything that I love, and is set against a backdrop that held my attention from the first page to the last. The language alone takes me right back to the end of the 19th Century and this is then combined with richly drawn descriptions of life at that time.
I love any narration by Gary Furlong, but his style definitely suits this author's novels. The rather pompous voice of Benedict is amusing, but then his softer side begins to creep in more often, with an apt change in tone to go with this. I love the way Sebastian calls him "Dear Heart" and how Benedict just seems to melt. The different voices and accents continue to bring all of the characters to life and I particularly adored Leo.
A 5 star story and narration that leave me longing for Book 3 in this series.

Maelstrom
Listen to this with eyes wide shut and an open mind. Delicious dilly-dalliance with deviance and debauchery, leading to an ultimate brotherly love.
Tissues required for the sorrow, the laughter and other things. Interesting venues for the action: "Shaftesbury Avenue", and dashing around back passages. It's like this story contains all the clues for a secret game ghosted within it if you have the eyes to see and ears to hear. Even the names Bene-Dict and Sebastian (bastion: an erection projecting outward from the curtain wall of a fortification), Leiberstein (loving cup) show clever punning. Hannan means queen in Egyptian Arabic. Inside this game our MCs tangle and untangle.
The narration lifts this tale to another realm of performance for pure enjoyment. EXCELLENT ESCAPADE

A welcome revisit
I'm so happy to be back with Benedict and Sebastian once again! In this second installment in the series we get an adventure and a mystery, but what's most important to me is that we get a continuation of the relationship between Benedict and Sebastian. They are such delightful opposits that attract, Benedict being kind of repressed and cautious when it comes to his attraction to men in general and the free-spirited Sebastian in particular, and Sebastian being, well free-spirited, comfortable with who he is, and rather adventurous. I also love that Benedict is of a mature age.
The villains of this story are interesting and quite horrible and that side of the story is well thought out and interesting.
You don't have to have read the first book in this series to enjoy this one, but I recommend that you do.
Gary Furlong's narration is absolutely wonderful! His voice is so perfect for this book, his voices for everyone is great, but I especially love his voice for Benedict.

Fantastic historical MM Romance.
This book was such great fun. I'm a sucker for secret societies, Victorian occult rituals and this book had it all. It was so well written and researched, something that is quite rare with historical mm. The narration was top class and brought pompous Benedict to life. Brilliant. I can't wait for book 3.
