Ami's Hoard

I admit, I am very new in historical/regency MM romance -- I was only converted last year. BUT, I discovered that there was different kind of joy coming from historical/regency MM that I could relish in (one of them is that none of these Lords or Earls or Duke will call their lover, "BABY" *haha*). So I have been looking for few historical MMs these days.

Well, The Desire for Dearborne is very lovely. I really appreciated the way the relationship progressed between Lord Julien Blackstone and Leander Mayfield, the American earl. Leander is kind, sweet, and maybe a bit naive since he's practically a stranger in this new country and society so different from him back home. I thought his reaction to everything was really endearing -- like how eager he is with watching a Shakespeare play or how he worries about his staffs and takes time to learn their names.

Julien is the more experienced one, older than Leander by almost a decade. I imagine that he's the typical kind of hero in regency romance, so I'm not really having anything more to say about him. They do make quite a wonderful couple.

Unfortunately I was a bit annoyed with how the story went from traditional romance to slightly far-fetched twist about the last quarter or so. No, I'm not talking about the 'threat' against Leander's life. That one I easily predicted considering the way that the villain reacted. I'm talking about .... [

Aside from that, I was pretty satisfied with this. I guess I could say that my love for historical/regency MM romance might still flourish this year -- IF I can keep finding good materials to read, of course.
