An instructive story in which vice receives its just reward. Inspired by true and scandalous tales of the Gaslight aristocracy, we present the most moral and improving tale of Lady Rosamond Wolfram. Weep, reader, for the plight of our heroine as she descends into piteous ruin in the clutches of the notorious Phlogiston Baron, Anstruther Jones. Witness the horrors of feminine rebellion when this headstrong young lady defies her father, breaks an advantageous engagement, and slips into depravity with a social inferior. Before the last page is turned, you will have seen our heroine molested by carnival folk, snubbed at a dance, and drawn into a sinful ménage a trois by an unrepentant sodomite, the wicked and licentious Lord Mercury. Reader, take heed. No aspect of our unfortunate heroine’s life, adventures, or conduct is at all admirable, desirable, exciting, thrilling, glamorous, or filled with heady passion and gay romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and heart-felt

This was the first polyam romance I'd read, and I had to initially wrap my head around that (being old and boring), but these are precisely the Hall books I like the best, because Hall makes me feel and think differently. I've just finished Arden Powell's "A Novel Arrangement," also polyam, and I enjoyed both of these books because they are true romances that feel fresh and original when most books in the genre don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars three lonely hearts add up to one great love affair

I was not intentionally saving this book for last (of Alexis Hall's books, all of which I've read this year, some of them multiple times) but it was a wonderful way to end the Complete Read.

Set in the world of Prosperity, a steampunk Victorian alter-England. Featuring two tropes from which spring a substantial proportion of historical romance fiction: the outsider needing an aristocrat to give him social entree, and the well-born lady whose choice of potential mates is limited by rank and money. Only in this case the outsider, the aristocrat, and the lady find common cause. It is a love triangle in the best possible way.

The lady ends up engaged to someone she doesn't like, who doesn't like her; meanwhile she's fallen for the outsider. The outsider is equally drawn to the lady and to the aristocrat. The aristocrat, meanwhile, is ... well, he's a man whose heart needs a safe place to land. The way the three become a unit is lovely.

This is a book I will re-read regularly.

Excellent. Perfect. Masterful storytelling. Alexis Hall never disappoints. I’ve read this story before and will probably read it 100 times again. Brilliant in every way
