A Gentleman's Gentleman

A Novel

De: TJ Alexander

Narrado por: Harrison Knights

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of Chef's Kiss, a groundbreaking trans Regency romance that's both delightfully witty and refreshingly iconoclastic.

“A Gentleman’s Gentleman is a thoroughly charming confection of a romance. If you’re looking for a tender, gentle slow burn, this is the book for you.”—Cat Sebastian, author of We Could Be So Good

The notoriously eccentric Lord Christopher Eden is a “man of unusual make” and even more unusual habits: he prefers to live far from the prying eyes and ears of the ton, and would rather have the comfortable company of his childhood cook and his aged butler than the swarm of servants and hangers-on befitting a man of his station. But Christopher’s pleasant, if occasionally lonely life is upended when he receives word from his lawyers that, according to his late father’s will, he must find a wife by the end of the Season if he intends to keep his family’s fortune and the Eden estate. Christopher cannot imagine a worse fate: as he isn’t attracted to women, his chances of making a wife happy are slim. Furthermore, if his quest to marry has any hope of succeeding, he must move to London posthaste and acquire some more suitable staff.

Enter James Harding, Christopher’s new, distractingly handsome—if rigidly traditional—valet. After a rocky start, the two strike up a fragile friendship amid the throes of the London Season . . . a friendship that threatens to shatter under the looming shadow of Christopher’s impending nuptials—and the secrets both men are keeping. With its heady combination of dry wit, slow-burn romance, and a nuanced portrait of trans identity, A Gentleman’s Gentleman stands to transform the historical romance genre as we know it.

MOST ANTICIPATED: BOOK RIOT • THE NERD DAILY • WBUR • ALL ABOUT ROMANCE

“TJ Alexander genuinely does not miss for me . . . I absolutely devoured this trans m/m. . . . It’s so full of charm and characters you desperately want to find happiness and love in all its forms, and it’s just… so delightfully gay.”—Dahlia Adler, Smart Bitches Trashy Books

“Full of yearning and hope, A Gentleman's Gentleman brims with feeling. A wonderful new voice in historical romance, Alexander brings trans and queer joy to the Regency era with deft depth, romance, and fun. I couldn’t put it down!”—Emma R. Alban, USA Today bestselling author of Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend

“[An] extraordinary addition to the queer romance genre. . . . Christopher’s awkward joviality combined with Harding’s extremely proper comportment makes for a pairing that is laugh-out-loud funny, as well as devastatingly tender. This is an unadulterated delight.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

One of my new favorites!

Such a beautifully written romance with such emotional depth. I’ll be recommending this one to all my friends

Beautifully written

The only part I didn’t like was that it ended! Such a sumptuous and mysterious story of chance and soulmates finally finding their perfect place and person. So satisfying, I couldn’t stop listening intently which is so unusual. Loved every word.
