Fortune in Men's Eyes

by Duncan More

Peter Kalin was born and raised at Beaux Arbres, his father’s plantation in the Northern Neck of the Commonwealth of Virginia. When it was discovered that Peter liked to sleep with men, a predilection frowned upon by elite society, Beauregard Michael Kalin had only one recourse. Disowned and banished, Peter Kalin purchased a small farm of his own and unwittingly became a stationmaster on the underground railroad system. As any man, Peter could not predict where his road in life would lead, his path often determined by the decisions of others… the family patriarch, a man selling his farm, a rebellious slave, a parish minister… Robert E. Lee or President Lincoln. This is the story of Peter Kalin as he navigates his own road in 1850’s-60’s America.

Good and Plenty

This was a good story. Only criticism that I pick is it there was too much focus on the sex. If you going to talk about the sex sometimes a good description of the genitalia will help in this situation. I really, really love the timeline of the civil war in the battles that took place by mentioned. As a history major from the south that kind of stuff interests me. Like I said in the title this is Good and plenty I really good story.

Honestly!

Honestly I did not finish this book unlike the Unmentionable series this book was way too erotic. Where the Unmentionable series showed gay men during the times of slavery without using erotica to fill the pages this book was the opposite. I would prefer to stay away from erotica novels be it heterosexual or homosexual novels. I just want the story without the extra but if your into that this book is probably for you.

Would have been more enjoyable without all the graphic sex scenes.

This book should not be called historical fiction. It was way too full of homoerotica. The author did not do enough research to set it correctly in history. The characters were hollow. Just a bunch of horny men rolling in bed.
