3/5. Charming M/M historical about an oppressed and repressed brother and sister forced by circumstance to stay in the home of their scandalous neighbor and his more scandalous friends. Debauching and romance ensue.
Sweet, with some delightful banter regarding dirty Latin declensions. Not my favorite, though, as this book was concerned with the parts of this story – the family entanglements and money issues – that I only vaguely cared about, and entirely glossed over the far more interesting aspects of bringing a serious new romantic partner into a stable non-romantic but emotionally vital triad relationship. I would have read a whole book about negotiating that dynamic. Perhaps she intends to write it? There is certainly still room for it.
