**4.5 stars**I am the first to say that I'm not a historical lover, especially with historical M/M. Often, they are either depressing, unbelievable, or cheesy, in my opinion. This one, however, was fabulous. I think Ava March balanced plot with sexiness, and came out with an excellent story.This is your classic prostitute/rich man story, but done really, really well. Max is a Duke that has been burned by a lover in the past, and Tristan is a young prostitute that has resigned himself of a life in servitude in order to pay off his debts. The chemistry between these two guys... wow... scorching hot. These are some of the best sex scenes that I have read in a while. Just hot hot hot Regency-style, old-fashioned dirty talk with some light kink on the side. However, this book manages never to delve into the realm of porn-without-plot. Though this is a very sex-focused book (as prostitute stories tend to be), it still has an emotional intensity and honesty that kept me reading all day long.Though I'm not sure it felt 100% authentic, this story re-defined what a historical romance could be for me. I can't wait to find out who the next book in the series is focused on.**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
