The wonderful thing about this book is that it shines more a light on the relationships and the difficulties of establishing and continuing them in Regency England (early 1800s) on a different societal level that its predecessor (All In For the Duke)--but with familiar characters.  And the sex is scorching on both levels.Here Jack Morgan, surreptitious but critical driver and undercover investigator for Duke Max Arrington, takes a detour from one of his tasks as described in the first book to find his life-long, but ne'er-do-well friend, Will Drake.  Why he seeks out Will and how their lives have unfolded from the time they were six years old (they are now in their mid 20s), is a fascinating character development study which is not only totally logical but probably historically accurate.Jack and Will are fighting their instincts--false though they might be, Jack to reconcile his preference for men, Will to hide his life-long desire and love for Jack.  The way they come together, fling apart, and eventually travel a road that is surprising and satisfying is a testimony to both Ava March's plot sense and her absolutely brilliant way of writing.  Third installment of this "family" drama comes in December--I can hardly wait!
