I accidentally purchased this on my kindle as I was sat waiting in the car, read it in 15 minutes and I have to say it made that time waiting quite funny and oooerrrr saucy LOL! Think Adam Ant meets Dick Turpin ~ Stand and Deliver!

This was my favorite of the four because of Milton. The poor man, engaged to a woman he doesn’t love and doesn’t want to marry but is going so because it is expected. When he breaks down in the carriage, oh poor baby. The fact that his future wife is pretty and agreeable and his in-laws very rich makes no difference. Milton doesn’t want to be married. He has always been made to feel that he is not as good as his brother, Walter, even though he is actually the heir to his family’s fortune, not his brother. When his carriage is attacked by highwaymen, his oddly endearing defense of himself ends with him being stabbed. The argument he has with the highwayman who both stabbed him and saved him, Badger, was funny. (“I do not recall holding a rapier and somehow managing to stumble on a rock and fall on top of it”) His healing is slow and he gets to know somewhat the man who saved him, scoundrel that he is. And through this, he finds a way out of his hated future to embrace who he is. I loved it.

Lady Jennings seldom disappoints. This, like most of her M/M erotic short stories, is a perfectly pleasant, quite well written period romance with the right amount of love, adventure and spicy sex.
I really would like not to have to complain about about grammar mistakes and typos which are infrequent but blatant and disrupting. I should not stress out the fact that the first son of an English Duke is necessarily a Marquess and not a "Mr."
The main problem though is that Milton, likeable as he is, makes for a rather feisty and girlish "heroine": only in the sex scene does he come out as a bit more manly... and this, unfortunately, is quite a problem if an M/M romance is meant not only for lady-readers but also for gay men.

I have to say, I like Lady Jennings' work and I really enjoy me some Victorian sexytimes, but I have to agree with another reviewer here - Milton is just a leeeetle too wimpy in this.

That said, the sexytimes are tasty as usual, and much appreciated. More sexytimes in the same vein are required.

My credulity was stretched a bit too much but what the heck, it all worked out.

Read as Part of Different Desire Volume 1

Another sweet story. I enjoyed their happily ever after. Lady T.L. Jennings is super wise with the story-line and the setting. I loved how the story flowed so fluently despite the short story it was.

5 stars

I enjoyed this short story simply because the main character, Milton, finally comes into his own. Milton was set to marry a woman, who he did not love or want simply because society dictated it. Along the way he is kidnapped, injured, cared for by a handsome commoner who was a part of the kidnapping gang, and they each come to care for each other. Can this relationship work? What would Milton's family or society think about his love for another man? Read the book to find out.

Stay or Go

This is a quick well written short about a kidnapping and accidental stabbing and the highwayman and victim run away together. Enjoy I did.
