Summary
London 1810.
Their love was a death sentence.
Deacon, Viscount Carlisle, was aware of the slums and gin-lanes of London. Just as he was aware of the underground traffic that furnished the brothels and bath houses with human innocents. He was also aware that the so-called justice system would hang the accused without much of an attempt at a defense, unless the unfortunate had deep pockets to pay for it.
He just hadn't expected to be directly involved in any of it.
It started with a plea for help and ended with forbidden love, the love between a Viscount and a stable-boy. An impossible love and a guarantee of the hangman's noose.
Will Deacon fight for Tom? Will he risk the death sentence and take that fight from the stately halls of his English mansion to the horrors of Newgate Prison and the slums of London?
Or will he realize that if he doesn't, death will be a welcome end to the loneliness of the sentence he is already living?

Not for a second reading
It's a simple story, nothing original but nice. What annoyed me very much, the second time I listened, was the lack of subtlety. They plunge into 'forevers' and 'wishing to see his face in the morning' very suddenly and the thoughts and emotions are written in cheesy cliches.

Loved this book so much
London in the 1800s. If you were gay you could have been hung for lovingly someone of the same sex
Declan was a wealthy man, happy with his life almost.
One night he rush to help his best friend. This is how Declan met Tom (at the innocent Auction) these auctions are against the law. Tom was up for sale.
Years past when Declan returns to his family home, meets up with Tom after five years. So their story begins,Victoria Sue has awesome talent at the written word to make outstanding books. Joel Leslie has a voice that is awe inspiring great with the characters voices. A must listen to book. They get their hea

as good as the ebook
The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.
The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.
PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
5* - very very good
it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A
3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B
