A nobleman caught between his duty to his family and the man he’s always dreamed of…

Lord Alistair Bevan, Viscount Farnham, has the weight of the world on his shoulders. With his father’s health ailing, the time has come for him to find a wife, produce an heir, and do his duty. But Alistair knows a traditional life is not for him, especially when a chance meeting with valet Joseph Logan turns his world upside down.

A servant who falls for a lord when the stakes couldn’t be higher…

Joe Logan came to London in search of his missing sister, Lily. But months have passed, and not only is Lily still lost, more children have disappeared as well. The trail of the missing children might be growing cold, but things are just starting to heat up between Joe and Alistair.

When both Alistair and Joe seek out the help of The Brotherhood—an underground organization dedicated to helping the gay community—they are drawn into a much deeper investigation of children who have gone missing all over London. When it begins to look like people very close to Alistair’s family are involved, Alistair finally has a chance to make his father proud. But will the wild and wicked love blossoming between Alistair and Joe help them find Lily, or will their affair be exposed and destroy both of them?

A heartfelt and romantic Gay Historical Romance where opposites attract.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Steam level – very spicy! And yes, this is an m/m romance, so if that’s not your thing, feel free to pass on this one.

Review

"This book had just the right mix of emotional, unconventional romance and suspenseful mystery. This was fast-paced and held my attention, the characters were well-drawn and overall this was very well done. The ongoing mystery has me very much looking forward to the next book." - Must Read All The Romance blog
"Suspense, a mystery, an unconventional romance and a fast page turner kept my interest until the end wondering what would happen next!!" - Lori D, Goodreads Reviewer

ADULT Victorian M🐺/M🐶 Romance💕 and Abduction Mystery!

The two men involved together in this late 19th century romance must be even more secretive than the men and women of the same time period.

Viscount Alistair Bevan🐺 must not only deal with the fast encroaching dementia of his father, the Earl of Winslow, he must think about getting married to produce an heir. Women💃 hold absolutely no attraction for him, but he knows he must do his duty.

When Alistair🐺🍆⛲ meets Joe🐶, a valet at Lord Chisholm's dinner party, he is dumbstruck with desire💕! Joe🐶🍆⛲ has gotten a job there because his fourteen year old sister Lily, was a maid there and has gone missing. Joe🐶 is determined to find her.

Alistair's father, the Earl, blurts out accusations of Lord Chisholm and the whole Eccles family being involved in slavery and slave trading during their carriage ride to the dinner!

Of course, Alistair🐺 thinks it's just the ramblings of his father's slipping mind. After all, slavery was abolished in England about 80 years before!

The torrid affair behind closed doors goes on between Alistair🐺🍆⛲ and Joe🐶🍆⛲, who now becomes Alistair's valet. What better cover than for Joe🐶🍆⛲ to be a man's man!

Together they do some crazy amateur sleuthing in Joe's continuing efforts to find his sister. Then they discover that two servant children are missing from the Eccles household, too! Step it up, men!

I really enjoyed this gay romance💕. It's a real 💘love story and Abduction Adventure! It's just a different twist in a really well written and plotted out historical romance💕.
The ADULT scenes between the two male🐺🐶 lovers are tastefully but graphically described!

This book does end in somewhat of a cliffhanger....

This Story was Absolutely Wonderful. I suggest to anyone to read the blurb before you purchase the book especially if you don't want to read M/M romance.
It had just the right amount of sex for the length of the book. It isn't grotesque but Romantic.
The ongoing mystery of missing children & a close family in the mix had me turning page after page. Well researched & gratifying story. Thank you Merry Farmer, I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series

I believe this is my first Merry Farmer read, and it won't be my last. I really liked this book. No... I loved it!
The evolving romance between the two men (which was klutzy-cute to downright steamy), along with the mystery of the missing children, made for an emotional, action-packed read.
All of the characters were fleshed out, within a realistic historical view of London circa 1870.
Farmer is a wonderful storyteller. 5 stars!

Now, if only the cover creators of this series can showcase guys in the fashions of the time; all of the guys on the covers of Farmer's Brotherhood series are in Regency garb. lol)

I enjoyed this immensely and am eagerly awaiting the next title. There is a story arc that continues to the next book, but this one also finishes out its own plot, which I prefer to a cliffhanger. The epilogue of this book does set up the next, but I think that’s different from a cliffhanger. The characters in this book were vibrant, and I’m looking forward to continuing their acquaintance as the series progresses. The MCs had a sympathetic problem that we in this society don’t encounter to the same degree, along with the general problem of being gay in that period. Although there was little mystery as to the villain, the action portion of the plot was fast-paced while leaving room for relationship development. There was enough realism injected to give this story some grounding without making it harsh. This was a very good example of how this genre should be written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joe and Alistair’s story will make you swoon
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020

An interesting and page turning romantic historical romance! This first book in the Brotherhood series starts with Alistair and Joe, the Viscount and the Valet. Please note this is an MM romance so if that isn’t your thing skip this.

Joe has come to London to try and find out what happened to his sister. He is working as a valet in the last place his sister was. There he meets Alistair and it’s perfectly imperfect because they both feel the chemistry but in those times it was very risky to be a gay man.

They struggle to come to terms with their feelings, while investigating missing children. This story has love, suspense, impossible decisions and more love. I just adored Joe and Alistair’s story and I can’t wait for book 2!! I definitely recommend and will definitely keep reading!

If you are fan of KJ Charles work, you may find it interesting.
There are some parts, which I found slightly hard to believe (for example the whole part with Darren not letting Alistair go after he saw him kissing Joe...). But otherwise it's a well written story.

5.0 out of 5 stars REpetitive
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 25, 2022

I have read most of the series but gave up after Book four. The plot is thin and lacks complication, a good chase of criminals and characters but goes on a bit and indispersed with sex games that lack the real thing. So we have the same formula and the expected outcomes of a teenage novel.

Ein sehr gutes und spannendes Buch. J&A sind wirklich tolle Charaktere <3! Die Erotik war angemessen und überhaupt nicht zuviel. Jeder der sich da beschwert ist offensichtlich neu im Genre und hat noch nicht viel gelesen ;)
Ich freue mich auf Teil 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars A blend of two of my favorite things
Reviewed in Canada on March 15, 2020

The only thing better than a love story between two men is love story between two men trying to solve a mystery, set in the gilded age of London. Little details, like the frustration of fighting your way through too many tightly buttoned layers to the man below, the tedium of rigid society and the invisibility of servants in a grand household add authenticity. I recommend it as an enjoyable evening's entertainment

4.0 out of 5 stars an unexpected surprise, and I can’t wait to read more

Honesty up front - I only read this book because I got it for free. This is only my 2nd historical/Victorian era romance, so I’m not looking for the historical accuracy like the 1-star raters. Saying that, I loved this book! This had a great mix of romance, plot and dialogue that I appreciate in a romance novel - it was sweet, suspenseful, and saucy!

Alistair & Joe (the viscount & valet, respectively) are a lovely couple, with such ooey-gooey dialogue that spikes my blood sugar! I love them. They’re also supported by a cast of characters that I can’t wait to know better through the rest of the series. Lionel, I’m looking at you!
