The Desire for Dearborne

Entertaining if forgettable Regency MM romance. Very heavy on the trope of innocent fish-out-of-water meets handsome rogue who simultaneously becomes a lover and father figure. We get the taking of innocence, hurt/comfort, and ridiculous misunderstandings that would have been solved with simple conversation and honesty. Overall, nothing new here, but the writing kept me engaged and you do fall in love with Julien a little bit.
