2014 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention
By Elisa
Turnbull House is what the historical reader wants - an immersion into the time period without overlong explanations that a character living in that time would never employ. The soot and mist and nasty weather of late 19th century London are all around and seen through the eyes of the character as he moves through a London with dangerous predators at all social strata. Every character, the purely fictional and the historical figures we encounter, are characters, quirky, interesting, real for their time. The intrigue is complex, motivations often multilayered. This was a joy to read.
Oh man, what a fun book! I had to go off and get the prequel to it by the end because I just needed more. This is the sort of historical novel I can read and get sucked right into. Part of that probably stems from the fact that it takes place in London at a time that is currently very popular in TV shows and film, so there’s a sense, even for the casual consumer of entertainment, of familiarity. The majority of this novel’s allure comes from its wonderfully well-written characters, though. I can’t wait for more.

One of the Best Books of 2014!
By Agent Double M
I loved the cover and the description promised to hit quite a few of my favorite kinks and tropes. Then I opened the book and discovered that this was a sequel. I put it down. My philosophy had always been never to start a series anywhere else but at the beginning. It seemed stupid not to. But a day or so passed and every time I looked at my Kindle, TURNBULL HOUSE seemed to be staring at me, pleading with me to read it. I caved. I broke my own rule and read something that was not the first in its series.
I am so glad that I did.
TURNBULL HOUSE was special. So addicting. I needed to read more. The characters were distinct, sexy, and believable.
Ira was an ex-rent-boy (the hyphens!) who had gone straight (lol), earning his living by being a person secretary for Oscar Wilde (this was set Wilde's London, after all) and was on the board for a place called Turnbull House (we have a title), where orphans, typically ones who were prostitutes, could learn to earn an honest living. Things go wrong when the owners, Ira and husband and wife team Tim and Beth Lazarus (note: Time used to be one of Ira's 'clients' back in his rent-boy days. Awkward), found that hey were very close to losing Turnbull House. Ira decided to turn to his old lover, crime lord Cain Goddard for help. You could see where that quickly goes right?
This novel was so fulfilling. The plot was rich, the characters were fabulous. I loved all of the sexual tension. Apparently there's something about Ira!
"John Thomas had seen more action in the past week than in the previous two years."
Tim clearly still had feelings for his co-worker, kissing him a couple times (those scenes shouldn't turned me on as much as did, right) despite being married to Beth. Ira's other main love interest in the novel was Cain. Oh dear lord the sexual tension between Ira and Cain. They were in love each other but they haven't reached a point in each of their lives where they can have a healthy relationship yet and it hurt to read. I enjoyed every second of it.
"If you tear up that contract, you'll never have to deal with me again on any level." He met my eyes. "Unless you want to."
I swallowed hard. After all that had happened, I found the very idea inconceivable. At the same time, the very thing I had wanted-- a fresh start with him, uncomplicated by the patterns of our past, and with every hope of a future of equality and mutuality-- that very thing was dangling in front of me, daring to take it."
Quick note. Be warned, there was a brief, non-graphic dub-con/rape scene.
The only reason I gave TURNBULL HOUSE a B|four stars instead of an A|five stars was because of parallels between it and Sherlock. It was done on purpose but also wasn't. It was odd. Tim was a bit like Sherlock in away, noticing every detail at a glance. Ira Adler whose name was so close to Irene Adler, reminded me of Watson, being Sherlock's writer. There was a character, St. Andrews, who was so obsessed with Doyle's tales of the consulting detective that he tried his best to emulate the fictional character, by becoming a consulting detective for the Yard and dressing like Holmes does. You could even say that Cain was Moriarty. TURNBULL HOUSE turned oddly meta when authors Doyle and Bram showed up, especially when Doyle and St. Andrews met and became instant friends. It was just weird.
After I finished reading this, I purchased the first book, THE AFFAIR OF THE PORCELAIN DOG and I am currently plowing through it. I am also very happy that on her blog the author reported that she was writing the third novel of the series, set in the American Wild West!
If you're like me, and don't want to give this book a shot because it is not the first in the series. Don't worry, the author catches you up as you go along. Read it. You won't regret it.
TURNBULL HOUSE will definitely be on my list of the best books in 2014.

So much fun!
By Ionia Froment
What a fun book! I had not read any of this author's work previous to this, but now I have another author to add to my list of authors to watch.
This is a smartly written and sassy novel with some truly stellar and unexpected quotes. The main character is full of wry observations and hilarious quotes. I won't go so far as to say that I think this book would be a good fit for everyone. If you are offended by homosexual characters or ones who just tell it like it is, this might not be for you. For those of you who like dry wit and characters that don't hold back, this will please you.
I liked the story very much. The author weaved together many different lives and occurrences to create an entertaining book with a lot going on in it. I really liked the dialogue and the interaction between the characters.
The author's personality really shined in this book with plenty of LOL moments and good amount of unexpected events.
This was a great book and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
