This started off so slow and quite frankly boring that I stopped and started this three times over the course of several months. I almost thought I couldn't hate listen to it, then on a rain commute home, I put it on and it actually got better.

Not a favorite, but worth a listen. The fact that it is historical, high society M/M romance, hit my buttons. The narration was meh, but the plot ended up being enjoyable.

A Lord, having a terrible childhood with crappy parents, takes up debauchery. He unfortunately involves his sister with some of his less than savory friends and things end terribly for her. Filled with guilt, he stops caring what people think of him. He makes best friends with a Lady and causes gossip. Enter the lady's protective brother, who's good name is of the highest standards. She enlists her brother to help better the name of her wayward bestie. Romance ensues. Standard historical romance plot, but with dudes. Enjoyable, but one listen was enough.
