The Innocent Auction By Victoria Sue.
My review
****
I was pleasantly surprised about how good this story was. It is a period drama set in Victorian time London / Countryside. Deacon and Tom are briefly thrown together, whilst Deacon is rescuing his Cousin Beau, who is at a seedy club that is about to be raided. After he is rescued Tom is sent to Deacons family estate to start a new life. Five years later with the death of Deacons Father, which means Deacon is now responsible for the country Estate. Upon his arrival, at the estate He is surprised to see Tom still working on the farm. They have a few secret moments together but hide their love from other staff. Both try and fight their feelings for a very taboo and life threatening love of each other. They are Separated later in the story, as Toms past catches up with him, Can Deacon rescue Tom once more, and how can they have a future together.
The story is well paced with just the right amount of conflicts, The characters are believable and you do bond with both main characters, wanting them to work through the obstacles. I think the autor has done a great job of describing the period and has left me wanting a sequel, not because of a cliff hanger, but because I am connected to Deacon and Tom.
