Appartiene alle SerieAfter the War (3)
Lord Redmund Wodehouse is the only one of his peers who is glad to be rid of the sea, the navy, and the horrible memories that won't let him have a moment's peace. He hopes retreating to his family's country escape for a summer of games and merriment will drown out the crushing guilt he suffers because of a shipboard accident several months before. And he's especially looking forward to the arrival of his friend, rival, and occasional, casual lover, Lucas to take his mind off his troubles. Lucas Salterford accepted Redmund's invitation to spend the summer on a remote estate with a bunch of toffs for one reason and one reason only-he has been hopelessly in love with Red for years. Luc sees the extended house party as his last chance to capture Red's heart and prove that he is more than just a friend and a distraction. But Red seems determined to keep their relationship only skin deep, no matter how hard Luc tries to help him deal with what happened aboard ship. And when Luc ends up grievously injured after a game gone wrong, every horrible thing that Red believes about himself seems to be proved true. But Luc isn't willing to give up hope. Can he help Red find redemption and the love he deserves before Red's demons get the best of him or will Luc's lingering injury be a constant reminder of all the ways Red has failed? PLEASE BE ADVISED: Steam Level - Smokin' hot! This includes explicit scenes between male lovers, so if that isn't what you want to read, please feel free to pass on this book.

After the War #3
War changes men. Sometimes the change is due to physical injury and other times it is due to emotional trauma. Redmond Wodehouse has a severe case of PTSD laced with nightmares and heavy guilt related to an accident that occurred while he was on watch. He is a bit all over the place, manic, depressed, hyper, aggressive and most of it is done to avoid thinking about what happened on the ship. Whether or not he will overcome the guilt and be able to move on, find love with his friend and lover, and be happy is what this book is about…and about his shipmates, his brother, and some others that all seem interested in male lovers rather than female ones.
In some ways this had a fairytale feel to it due to the men having found a safe place to fall in love and reside as their choices of romantic partners would have been dangerous in England back then. I wonder if all of the couples will opt to live together in a community or move on. Coming into book three of the series was fine as the story stood alone.
I found Red a bit annoying and woe-is-me-ish and had trouble seeing him as the strong vibrant trickster that was alluded to prior to his PTSD and guilt. I liked Luc but didn’t feel I got to know him well. I would have liked to see the two of them discussing their interactions in the past and been able to see what thir connection was based on besides the physical.
The story was easy to read and dealt with issues that would have been real in that post-war era. I didn’t connect with Luc and Red as well as I would have liked to but did see a few other characters I might like to know more about.
Did I enjoy this book? It was okay
Would I read more in this series? I might
Thank you to NetGalley and Oliver Heber Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
