Review: A Midwinter Prince

A Midwinter Prince by Harper Fox and Rusty Coles
My rating: 3 of 5 stars  

Laurence Fitzroy is trapped in a golden cage. The only son of a wealthy London baronet, he's struggling to escape his father's suffocating world. But Laurie is losing his fight. At 19 years of age, bright and imaginative, he's no match for the brutal Sir William. Laurie wants to be an actor - bad enough as far as Sir William is concerned, but, worse than that, he's gay.

One bitter winter night, he meets a young homeless man huddled in blankets outside the opera house. The two form a bond straight away, and Laurie takes him home, wanting only to offer him food and a warm bed. But Sasha is a passionate Romani immigrant, and his beauty and sweet nature soon overwhelm Laurie's chaste intentions, leaving him hopelessly in love.

This is not a historical series. They are titled aristocrats in contemporary society.

 Book 1 of 2.

I love this audiobook, and always follow up with the next, although that one is less to my taste. I like how they express their affection and withstand setbacks. Most of the drama is based on bigotry. 

I liked the story but was very confused in the beginning because Audible tagged this as 'historical'. I don't often read the blurb, so I was waiting for a time portal to open or a second storyline to start. 

Some sentences in this one were recorded twice but it did not lessen the performance quality.
