ARC provided by the publisher through Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words in exchange for an impartial review I may be the only person in my age group in America who has never read Jane Eyre so although I know this story is based on that classic I can only rate this story on its own worth and it is indeed worth it James Eyre a teacher at Gloamwood the school where he s lived since he was a young boy when his uncle sent his ward away to be educated First a student now a teacher he s in love with his best friend though neither man has ever expressed their feelings out loud and Hallum his love is now planning to marry a role expected of all young men James on the other hand will not marry and to get away from the happy couple he accepts a position at Thistleton Manor located on the moors far north of London He is to be tutor to Axel Vance the ward of Edmond Manchester in a big old rambling mansion staffed with only a handful of servants Complete with mysterious loud screams in the dark of night coming from what sounds like above but may be outside the mansion is very definitely a cold and spooky place Right from the beginning he enjoys working with Axel a bright young man who wants to be Robin Hood but there are others in the household he can t warm up to That includes the butler and a servant named Gregory who James suspects is behind both the night screams and the mysterious disappearance of his favorite cravat He also extremely dislikes Edmond s friend Ivor a man with whom Edmond obviously had a dalliance in the past and who seems to want to get back with Edmond in the present But Edmond has his sights set on James and when he acts on them James reciprocates A virgin in all things related to sex James falls madly for Edmond and even when things that go bump in the night cause a serious injury to Edmond James expresses his devotion and determines to stay and get to the bottom of the mystery From that point on the mysterious person who is responsible for the noises in the night takes the forefront in the story And though James is called away to London to answer his uncle s death bed summons he hurries back just in time to be embroiled in danger as the mystery at the mansion comes to a head I enjoyed this story my first from this author The romance was sweet with most scenes between the men going fade to black and with James s innocence and his idealistic attitude appropriate to the Victorian era in which this story is set The mystery and resulting action were highly interesting and entertaining though I found the London interlude to be unimportant in any way other than to get James away for a few days Most of all I felt like I was reading a highly enjoyable M M version of a classic novel and I d recommend it to all lovers of classic old fashioned love stories complete with handsome MCs a precocious ward and spooky night horrors James Eyre Over the top retelling of Jane Eyre I loved it The characters were so very good and the setting was creepy James Eyre This starts well and I enjoyed how the author began mapping out the original with a gay twist but the farther the novel strays from the original the worse it becomes I will try the author again but wouldn t necessarily recommend this one James Eyre 3.
