I really enjoyed this story. I've read many of Lee Brazil's contemporary books and wasn't sure how his writing style would translate to a historical. The answer to that is very well. But while I enjoyed the plot and the characters, I was taken by surprise by the abrupt ending. I know he's written series before, so I'm hoping that's the case here, but a little forewarning from Brazil would have been nice. I'm also surprised to see a 75pg novella priced at $4.99. Seems a bit steep. I would have preferred to give this 3 1/2 stars but since that isn't possible, I rounded up.Product details

Less Than All edition by Lee Brazil Jae Ashley Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I was given a copy of this book to review. Great characters, enough conflict, pacing was perfect, and yes, smokin' hot sex. Those are all important to me in an erotic novel. But I also need a great story. This book has it all.
I love the story.
It had me thinking of Victor's responsibilities as a Lord who must marry to produce an heir. He's enamored with Nicholas Danville from the moment his half brother Peter brings him home on holiday. Finding that Nicky does swing his way just makes it worse.
Nicky had my sympathy for having to become a priest/preacher because that was the responsibility of the third son, who by the way, in some cases were cut off after school because all monies and property went to the firstborn son. Nicky has always been infatuated with Victor. The older he gets, the infatuation grows. He still feels the humiliation of being throw out of Victor's home when he meets the man years later. But that doesn't stop him from doing what he's longed to do; kiss Victor. There begins the chase. And he presents the chase so wonderfully.
It also brought to light the fact that males of their stations, in 19th century England, do grow up surrounded by other males. They grow deep friendships. It was common for friends to become lovers. No one cared that they turned to one another as youths. It was once they were grown that they were required to set aside their youthful antics. Not unlike norms in society today.
The ending made me want more. Maybe there's a sequel to their story just waiting to be written. I'd like to see them years later.
So while I read erotic novels for hunky males and smokin' hot sex, but it's the story that keeps me coming back time after time.
Nicky (the brat) and Victor (the Lord) make a fabulous combination in this historical romance. It's set in the Regency period (don't tell anyone but I have no idea what this really means so I can't comment at all on the accuracy of the book) but I liked the sense of time and place as captured by the author and how it reflected in the characters and dialogue.
Lord Ware lusts after his younger step-brother's best friend, Nicholas. Nicholas has been walking a fine line, frolicking with his friends (it appears some frotting/wrestling among boys is acceptable) and lusting after the Lord - feelings Victor reciprocates. Nicky's a younger son, destined for the clergy,and believes he and Victor don't have a future. Victor has a responsibility to marry and provide heirs. And so begins their relationship as Victor chases and Nicky comes and runs, over and over.
I liked these two together and they sizzled in the bed (and the ballroom, and the gardens, and all the other places they grabbed a moment). I was interested by Nicky's response to giving himself to the Lord "Be dammed to you, Ware! I'll not yield to you on this! I have told you repeatedly that I will not allow this act. You choose to delude yourself into believing that I will." Turns out that Nicky was the one who was deluded. )
My only minor disappointment with this story was the ending. It wrapped up in a nice happy for now but I didn't quite understand the actions of Victor's cousin and wanted to find out more of what happens between Victor and Nicky. Maybe a sequel is in order?
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
This story begins in the year 1813, England. Lord Victor Ware is busy doing the books, so to speak, but decides it’s too nice a day and goes to join his younger brother Peter for horseback riding. Peter brought his good friend Nicholas for his visit to one of his brother’s homes, and Ware ‘catches’ the two of them playing around in the barn. Ware quietly sends Nicholas home and says nothing more. Fast forward to 1815, Ware is a bit obsesses with Peter’s friend Nicholas, or Nicky, and even his mistress resembles him! Ware returns to his home to find Peter and a group of his friends, drunk, laying about in his parlor. One of those friends is Nicky, so this of course, makes him lose his temper which eventually leads to a confrontation with Nicky.
Keep in mind, this is the early nineteenth century England, the Napoleonic War is happening in Europe or at least is winding down. The punishment for those convicted of sodomy (in England) was the death penalty until 1861. I love Wikipedia. So knowing this, Ware is still pursuing Nicky who is afraid of two things; being caught and charged with buggery, thus humiliating himself and his family and he’s afraid Ware will break his heart. These things do not mean there isn’t any smexy time between the men though. There is a lot of…not quite sneaking around, but at least quietly finding dark, secluded spots for the two of them.
All right, just so you know, I love Regency Romances, starting with the original Jane Austen. So I have read what a friend of mine refers to as the ‘real thing’ from Austen through modern authors writing them as well. I also happen to love Lee Brazil’s writing and have almost all of his work! My biggest problems with the story revolve around knowing history and how dangerous it was in that period to secretly or openly be homosexual, or have that kind of sexual relations. Luckily Mr. Brazil did not ruin it by turning the story into one with the deaths of the two characters. If he had this wouldn’t be four stars. Mr. Brazil has, as usual, created a solid story with some wonderful characters. I’m happy I read this!
I really enjoyed this story. I've read many of Lee Brazil's contemporary books and wasn't sure how his writing style would translate to a historical. The answer to that is very well. But while I enjoyed the plot and the characters, I was taken by surprise by the abrupt ending. I know he's written series before, so I'm hoping that's the case here, but a little forewarning from Brazil would have been nice. I'm also surprised to see a 75pg novella priced at $4.99.
