A young bisexual British lord embarks on an unforgettable Grand Tour of Europe with his best friend/secret crush. An 18th-century romantic adventure for the modern age written by This Monstrous Thing author Mackenzi Lee - Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets the 1700s.

Henry “Monty” Montague doesn’t care that his roguish passions are far from suitable for the gentleman he was born to be. But as Monty embarks on his grand tour of Europe, his quests for pleasure and vice are in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family’s estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy.

So Monty vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty’s reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.

Witty, dazzling, and intriguing at every turn, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is an irresistible romp that explores the undeniably fine lines between friendship and love.

I quite enjoyed this audio book. I took a chance on it when the title caught my eye. Glad I did, it was a very pleasant and fun listen. The narrator handled the various characters well and it's easy to tell them apart when listening. Laughed out loud more than once, and winced in sympathetic embarrassment for the main character at times. Also enjoyed the main character's development as he learned he might not be quiet as hapless as he had feared himself to be, and (small spoiler alert) discovered what he really does want in life and love. #Audble1.

Enjoyed and would recommend

I found the vernacular and grammar used was more modern than the setting, and that added to my being less engrossed in the book as I might have been had it been written with that in mind. otherwise, wonderful :)

interesting story, bisexual main character

A very interesting read. Its rare for a novel to have actual bi characters. It's been awhile since I read a period piece that actually talked negatively about lgbt+, which I appreciated for its authenticity but it was a little uncomfortable for a queer like me to stomach. That's not always a bad thing. I'm very excited to read the next book which hopefully features our runaway gays.

Alchemically Sound

Stunning!

This book was hard to stop listening to. It was absolutely captivating and the narrator did a phenomenal job on the characters, giving good characterization and life to the book. The main character is someone you love to hate, until you learn more about him. I loved hearing all of the characters develop throughout the tale, and it was nowhere close to what I was expecting. It was a whirlwind from start to finish, with unexpected twists and turns (17th Century National Treasure? Pirates? Feuds? Skeletons in the closet? Mystery? Even....Magic?) that made this a treasure to listen to.

A wild ride!

Basically this story is about the increasingly dangerous swashbuckling misadventures of a European tour gone completely sideways. Our titular character is a very charming wreck of a human being, his father is a hypocritical disciplinarian who gaslights and abuses him. The other characters especially Percy are truly well fleshed out and it’s an enjoyable easy listen. Plenty of increasingly dark revelations and absurd encounters and acts of stupidity you would expect from a Rake ensue. And in the end they’re all better off for it.

Excellent Story And Acting!

I can’t begin to explain how DELIGHTFUL this is. I felt at once familiar with the characters despite only just encountering them for the first time. Monty & Percy’s friendship and fondness for one another is incredibly sweet, and Monty’s hopeless crush on him throughout was the stuff of dreams. It’s a fantastic adventure and the twists and turns will keep you listening late into the night. Well performed, well written. I’ll be recommending this to every slash-loving fangirl who has spend countless hours over the years waiting for the next good fic. Perfect for lovers of Rainbow Rowell’s Carry On, or Maggie Stiefvater’s Raven Cycle.

I really enjoyed this one! The story was engaging, and had some surprising turns. The characters were so likeable and engaging. I loved the narrator’s voice and inflection; it made the book so easy to get lost in.

Fun story and beautifully narrated

Enjoyed hearing from a gay young Englishman for a change. He was fantastic with his narration. I was snorting up a storm when Monty was on his tirade. He was so quick with the Witt.

So very dramatic and flamboyant!
