A historical romance with a wink and a nod toward Peter Pan.

Peter Woods is content to live a gadfly life, darting from one experience to the next with no thought of responsibility, commitment, or the future. He has no desire to grow up. Stable, sober banker Wendell Rhodes has only recently discovered an underground London club where men meet and briefly mingle. At Ever Lads, Wendell encounters Peter and flint strikes tinder. The two opposites discover in the other what each lacks, but the journey from lust to love isn't easy.

Determined to make a man of his son at last, Peter's father attempts to curtail his hedonistic lifestyle. When Wendell's reputation is threatened, will Peter sacrifice his freedom to protect the man he's grown to care deeply for, or is there another way for crafty Peter to save the day?

Having read other novels by Bonnie Dee, I knew that the romance and steamy scenes will be on the forefront and the plot will take its sweet time but eventually get there. While that is not my favourite kind of pattern, this novel does its job well. It takes heavy inspiration from Peter Pan while being its own story. The First half drags a bit with all of the extravagant sensual escapades that Peter gets involved in and makes us slightly dislike him for being so flippant. However, about half way through the character development and drama begins, with even gripping action scenes that I did not expect getting into this. The ending is satisfying and an overall a solid read.

was not an easy life in the earlier part of the century certainly no live and let live and this story tells it all. Story well written and narrated.

I'm a great fan of K J Charles, whose books are the gold standard for M/M period romance for me, and I hoped for similar entertainment here. However, I'm abandoning this book less than half way through, partly because such common Americanisms as 'pants', 'sidewalk' and 'real estate' are irritating (I'm sure American listeners could manage to decode 'trousers', 'pavement' and 'letting agent'). Meanwhile, I've not been drawn in by the characters, and the parallels with Peter Pan aren't nearly witty or particular enough.
One more thing - nobody went to 'a musical' in this period. A 'musical comedy' or a 'show' perhaps, but the term was still only used adjectively - the noun doesn't belong in this era.

Disappointing, with too many Americanisms
