Masters in This Hall

Masters in This Hall (2022) K.J. Charles (Lilywhite Boys)

Set in England in 1899.

John Garland might not have had everything, like his uncle and his cousin, but he was respectable and had a job he was good at.

Until it all came crashing down.

Now he is heading to his uncle’s house in hopes to at least keep another theft from happening.

As is usual, I particularly liked the banter.

“Christ. He shot you.”

“He shot at me.”

“You were six inches from not needing the preposition!

The romance was originally a bit of a struggle for me, because I had a difficult time seeing how John could forgive, but as I got to know the characters it became easier to see how Barnaby had gotten himself in a fix–and how he was unable to get himself out of his fix.
