I've never read a gay romance. It's not something I usually care to read, but this story had a lot of great recommendations -- from women. At the time I bought it the book was 0.99 cents. After reading it, I would have paid more.The story takes place after the Napoleanic Wars, the battle of Salamanca. Preston's lover was brutally killed during battle right in front of  him. Afterwards, in recovery, he meets Ben who makes him feel safe.The characterisations of each man is crafted well and I was woven into their plight quickly. I also learned what I have never thought of before was how dangerous at that time it was for when men loved each other. It could literally mean hanging!It is a very good book with an engaging story. You can't go wrong!
