I am a lover of historical fiction. It was a joy to find a m/m romance that was set in the United States and during such an interesting period of American history. This is what made me purchase the book. But the authors writing style and the story is what really sold me on this book. "Tarnished Gold" is almost like reading an autobiography and not fiction. It covers a good length of time and not just one short period. The reader is allowed to grow with the characters. Another reviewer complained about there not being enough conflict in this book, that was actually a blessing to me. I'm tired of authors that make everything over the top, that deciding what to have for dinner has to be some great angst-filled decision for their characters. Jack and Wyatt felt like real people living real lives and that is the best read possible.
