The Labours of Lord Perry Cavendish by Joanna Chambers

When Jonny’s tongue slid against his own, Perry’s cock jerked. He's accustomed to that being a Very Bad Thing.and here's this large, lovable lummox of a Perry practically blushing himself into a stroke every time Jonny so much as smiles at him! And seems unable to utter a sound.except in extremis, as the two decide it's time to get it on. Jonny's an artiste, you see, on top of being less than a manly man. Jonny is suffering from the fey, dandyish man's usual problem with other men: What appeals to them at the start makes them absolutely mad as hornets by the end. He bears terrible emotional scars because of this, and is very sure that someone like the garrulous swan-like Jonny Mainwaring, fey and dandyish and a riot of color and sound, would sooner be dead than than spend time with him. In his classes, however, he was rather thought less of and certainly belittled by his harridan of a mother. He's not eloquent or even terribly articulate in his speech, and not a very intellectually inclined sort, but not (as Lysander knows of old) slow-witted or dumb. “I’m not one of those clever fellows like you who can write quickly.” He forced a chuckle. “You need to go slower,” Perry repeated, his face heating with mortification. Dinky little people need to understand that they are not the proper measure of the world! But a deeper hurt has been done to Perry, beyond merely being made to feel that he's Too Much. Had the previous occupants been elves, Perry wondered? Most of the chairs in the house seemed to be too small for him.īeen there, Brother Man, been there and hated the view.

It was probably a lady’s desk and part of the effects of the house Adam had purchased when he’d bought the estate.

He was sitting in a spindly little chair, at a spindly little desk in the morning room. (That's the period-appropriate term for a Cinnamon Roll hero, don't you know.since Chelsea buns were first made in the eighteenth century, unlike cinnamon rolls.) He's ooey-gooey sweet, with that large, lumbering man charm that seems to center on not fitting the furniture: Perry is a Chelsea-bun hero all right, plain on the outside but fruity and spicy all the way through. Two-two!-within the first chapter alone! The onslaught of cheesy, unpleasant eye-infection behaviors continued until there were six.count 'em six.infringements of the Readers' Rights Agreement.
