It is so nice to see two middle aged men fall in love over books, philosophy, wine, with not so much attention to physical beauty until well after attachment is established.
This book's protagonists offer a welcome change. I find myself tired of May/December romances and teenage puppy love. But when Silas' politics earn him a death sentence, desire clashes with duty, and Dominic finds himself doing everything he can to save the man who stole his heart. Their needs match, and they are united by sympathy for each other's deepest vulnerabilities. In the bedroom everything else falls away. By the light of day, he cannot fathom the intoxicating lust that drives him to meet with the radical week after week. But, unbeknownst to Silas, his closest friend is also his greatest enemy, with the power to see him hanged - or spare his life.Ī loyal, well-born gentleman official, Dominic Frey is torn apart by his affair with Silas. Every week he meets anonymously with the same man, in whom Silas has discovered the ideal meld of intellectual companionship and absolute obedience to his sexual commands.
He's an overbearing idealist, a radical bookseller and pamphleteer who lives for revolution.and for Wednesday nights. Silas Mason has no illusions about himself. Charles turns up the heat in her new Society of Gentlemen novel as two lovers face off in a sensual duel that challenges their deepest beliefs.
