There is immediate and convincing chemistry between these two lonely souls, and well-drawn supporting characters round out the story. When her aunt and uncle retaliate by kicking her out, it is Darleigh’s turn to protect her by offering a marriage of convenience. Enter a perceptive orphan, Sophia Fry, who rescues Darleigh when her cousin tries to trap him into marriage. His female relatives badger him to wed, but he is determined to avoid young women who pity his disability. Blind from war wounds, he has not enjoyed his new prosperity. Young Vincent Hunt returned from fighting Napoleon in time to inherit a title, Viscount Darleigh. Balogh can always be depended on to deliver a beautifully written Regency romance with appealing, unusual characters, and the second in her new Survivors’ Club series (after The Proposal) is no exception.

It addresses some serious issues such as past rape & abuse, PTSD, etc, and is one of the angstiest and slowest burns I’ve ever read. It’s definitely one of the highlights of this book. The way their relationship progresses - the gradual build-up of trust and affection and the deepening intimacy - is just so freaking genuine. I liked that there’s no insta-love in this. They're beautifully complicated characters, and they work so well together - they’re like two pieces of a whole, complimenting each other in many different ways. Will (aka John Williams) and Gaston are two extremely scarred people who are still dealing with the aftermath of their past experiences. WRONG! There is not one boring moment in this book. I like long books, but considering the genre and my sometimes not-so-great attention span, I was afraid I might get bored halfway through. It’s a lengthy read, and a first installment in a reeeaaally long-ass series. And sure enough, this is historical romance/adventure at its finest. When I saw that Raised by Wolves is one of TJ Klune’s favorite m/m romance series, I knew I had to read it. It got optioned and I had a director attached and I had actresses attached, but at the time period films were considered very expensive to make and it was hard to get investors from Europe to tell a British woman’s story, especially since I was American.

There’s the expected exoticizing of the setting and its local population, but also plenty of slurs and casually derogatory remarks about dark-skinned and non-English-speaking people in general. I’ve read over two dozen Christie books by now, and this one is the worst offender I’ve seen. Moreover, the entire text is incredibly racist, even by the standards of this writer and her era. But it’s hardly the only possible explanation that would, which renders the offered certainty of the affair pretty unsatisfying. Does the answer fit the available facts? Sure, more or less. It’s an instance too of the investigator making deductions that seem like interpretive guesswork instead of reasoned entailments of particular clues on the ground. Yet I don’t feel bad, because it really is supremely ridiculous. Despite spotting the culprit early on, I didn’t come anywhere near figuring out the whole extended motive.
