The Lawrence Browne Affair

Product Information

At some point, Georgie had become indispensable, not only to Lawrence’s work but to his life—his heart, damn it” Overall, The Lawrence Browne affair is an enjoyable story about friendship and love, with real characters that would have to learn to let themselves be happy. In addition, at it’s heart, this book sets out to deliver an extremely thoughtful and important message: I also liked how both Lawrence and Georgie felt like they were on equal footing the whole time, even though Georgie technically works for the former. They had a relationship built on empathy and respect, rather than just co-dependency and sexual attraction. And this has nothing to do with the story, but the people on the cover don’t match with the character descriptions, especially with Lawrence! It didn’t make me angry, but maybe a little miffed. Hero: Lawrence. His time with Georgie is like cleaning out a window from his brain to the rest of the world. He finally sees he is NOT mad. He is good. He is normal-ish and he is in love. He's gruff and cranky and awesomely curmudgeon like.

Lawrence Browne, the Earl of Radnor, is mad. At least, that's what he and most of the village believes. A brilliant scientist, he hides himself away in his family's crumbling estate, unwilling to venture into the outside world. When an annoyingly handsome man arrives at Penkellis, claiming to be Lawrence's new secretary, his carefully planned world is turned upside down.The Lawrence Browne Affair is an excellent, character-driven romance that reminds us everyone deserves to love and be loved…a mesmerizing and powerful character-centric love story.”– All About Romance.com I loved seeing some familiar faces from book one, I loved meeting some new faces (book three's couple, hello, I see you!), and I love love loved the dedication at the beginning of this book. Sebastian is definitely an author I can't wait for more from and this series is definitely topping the list of some of my favourite historical reads, not to mention favourite m/m books. Heartwarming, funny, relevant, sexy, and absorbing. Highly recommend. I don't think I can adequately express how much I loved this book. I've been trying to gather my thoughts all day, and I still can't think of more than "AWWWWW" and "I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!!". PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Lawrence_Browne_Affair_-_Cat_Sebastian.pdf, The_Lawrence_Browne_Affair_-_Cat_Sebastian.epub Lawrence is the Earl of Radner, a genius scientist who everyone-including himself- think is mad. He’s a recluse who believes himself to be mad just like his deceased father and brother.(both of which-i should add-were despicable people).

I have the third book in this series ready to go and I'm super pumped about it. My Thanksgiving reading plans are all set. There are solid overtones that bring Beauty and the Beast to mind: Georgie being the softer and gentler, and often more personable of the two, especially when contrasted with Lawrence’s decided discomfort and bad temper that characterize his own interactions. But Georgie is supremely skilled in coaxing and cajoling trust and confidence, even as he reveals little to nothing about himself. Lawrence, mired in the fears that family history will also result in his mental decline, have served to push him further from the public’s eye, finding refuge in his experiments and scientific study. Experiments don’t require conversation, they don’t judge and point fingers while whispering, and more importantly, they don’t require him to be anything other than himself. Of course, there is talk of the Mad Earl: how could they not with his father’s dramatic demise, and the servants who left in droves didn’t understand the difference between science and witchcraft, and everything combines to make a story far more dramatic and intriguing than the truth. It’s safe to say this book is a new favorite of mine that i will probably be rereading in the future. I’ll concede that this might not be the moment I’d want brought up if my sanity were called into question.” He settled a palm against Georgie’s hip, satisfied by the way his hand nestled against the smaller man’s body.”Georgie gradually coaxing Lawrence out of his shell, ‘socializing’ him, returning him to the world whilst crushing the misconceptions the Earl has about himself is a simply sigh-worthy, heart-warming story. It was as if after a quarter of a century of blithely not giving a damn about anybody, he had accrued a surplus of damns to give. I really loved Georgie and Lawrence together, they balanced each other so well, and were the missing puzzle in each other’s lives. I really liked what the author did by having them be completely different towards each other, but have some of the same similarities of comfort with one another. Georgie needs to lay low for a while so he escapes to another town and poses as a secretary. Its not so far fetched since he knows how to do honest work, he just prefers conning. He is employed with Lord Radnor, and its frustrating, he's infuriating, ungrateful, and downright mean at times. Well a little discomfort doesn't hurt Georgie, in fact he is the ideal person to deal with the madman of the village. Georgie is falling and fighting his feelings on the same accord when it comes to Lawrence. He isn't a bad guy per say, he is just prone to loud outbursts, and bouts of craziness according to Lawrence and the men in his family. The only way to be safe is to isolate himself from people, and his last living relatives. He stays coupe up in his family's' estate that he let go to hell. He things that if he stays away from people then they won't have to deal with him. He lives on ham sandwiches, and apples from the only two servants that he allows to stay on at the house.

Sebastian has crafted an epic romance in which Lawrence and Georgie share incredible chemistry. Profoundly romantic and highly recommended.”– Library Journal (starred review)They were still standing too close. Turner tipped his head against the wall and looked up at Lawrence with lazy indifference. Most unsecretarial. But Turner didn’t seem afraid, and Lawrence didn’t know how to feel about that. He was so accustomed to fear that the absence of it was unsettling.”
