Think of England by K.J. Charles

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Andrew Curtis has no money worries, but he was injured in the Boer Wars in South Africa in the first few years of the 20th century. Daniel DaSilva is a flamboyant man of Mediterranean descent. He’s also a British agent. For odd reasons, Andrew and Daniel meet when they are separately invited to stay 2 weeks at a country estate. DaSilva is as gay as anyone could get in those years; Andrew is disengaged from his sexuality. Until they meet. The story and plot are both good; the writing is good, and the character of Andrew is fairly well developed, although I wanted to crack him on the head when he was submitting to oral sex and all he could think about was his reputation. And I was especially ticked off when it took several more chapters before Andrew would even think about going down on another man. I was difficult to be gay any time before the 1980s; author K.J. Charles makes this clear, which only makes you want to root more for Andrew and Daniel.
