Henry "Monty" Montague was born and bred to be a gentleman, but he was never one to be tamed. The finest boarding schools in England and the constant disapproval of his father haven't been able to curb any of his roguish passions--not for gambling halls, late nights spent with a bottle of spirits, or waking up in the arms of women or men.
But as Monty embarks on his Grand Tour of Europe, his quest for a life filled with pleasure and vice is in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family's estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy.
Still, it isn't in Monty's nature to give up. Even with his younger sister, Felicity, in tow, he vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty's reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt that spans across Europe, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.

Like I understand why you'd assume Monty stole this thing, but it was stolen at a party. Literally, anyone could have snuck into that room and taken it???? But France just assumed he took it and pursued him. They were right and stuff, but literally, anyone could have taken that box. Also, what the hell was that box? The explanation was vague af. I still don't get what the importance was? Something about eating hearts? Idk.
and by innocent I mean like kissing people and not stealing from some lord of France
Monty.
Percy.
Felicity.
The piratespirvateers happened and I pretty much had to hold myself back from throwing this book into the closest fireplace I could find. What was the point? They added nothing to the story? They weren't funny? In fact, they made this book just become unrealistic to me. I hated the pirates so much. I'd stab this book if I could.
Cheeky and fun with some genuine laughs from the audiobook narration. Loved both Monty and Felicity, though Percy felt less well drawn. Good humerous historical (with many liberties) fiction that's also delightfully queer.
