Despite knowing it may damage his career, David cannot turn Euan away.Īs their search progresses, it begins to look as though the trail may lead to none other than Lord Murdo Balfour, and David has to wonder whether it’s possible Murdo could be more than he seems. Not only does Provoked manage to avoid doing that to a great extent, the setting is richly realized and completely believable, and real-life events are woven into the fictional narrative beautifully. Euan is searching for the government agent who sent his brother to Australia on a convict ship, and other radicals to the gallows. As a rule I’m very wary of historical m/m because so many have to enter fantasy-land for the story to work. Euan MacLennan, the brother of a convicted radical David once represented, approaches David to beg him for help. Murdo tempts and provokes David in equal measure, forcing him to acknowledge his physical desires.īut Murdo is not the only man distracting David from his work. And as appalled as David is by Murdo’s unrepentant self-interest, he cannot resist the man’s sway. Visual indication that the title is an audiobook. Tormented by his forbidden desires for other men and the painful memories of the childhood friend he once loved, lawyer David Lauriston tries to maintain a celibate existence while he forges his reputation in Edinburgh’s privileged legal world.īut then, into his repressed and orderly life, bursts Lord Murdo Balfour.Ĭynical, hedonistic and utterly unapologetic, Murdo could not be less like David. Provoked audiobook (Unabridged) &mid Enlightenment By Joanna Chambers.
