Publisher's Summary
Power, privilege, and the rigid rules of class leave two hearts yearning for connection in the sizzling new Society of Gentlemen novel from K. J. Charles.
Among his eccentric though strictly principled group of friends, Lord Richard Vane is the confidant on whom everyone depends for advice, moral rectitude, and discreet assistance. Yet when Richard has a problem, he turns to his valet, a fixer of unparalleled genius - and the object of Richard's deepest desires. If there is one rule a gentleman must follow, it is never to dally with servants. But when David is close enough to touch, the rules of class collide with the basest sort of animal instinct: overpowering lust.
For David Cyprian, burglary and blackmail are as much in a day's work as bootblacking - anything for the man he's devoted to. But the one thing he wants for himself is the one thing Richard refuses to give: his heart. With the tension between them growing to be unbearable, David's seemingly incorruptible master has left him no choice. Putting his finely honed skills of seduction and manipulation to good use, he will convince Richard to forget all about his well-meaning objections and give in to sweet, sinful temptation.

Couldn't Put It Down
I hardly even know what to say. This book tore my heart up and sewed it back together piece by piece. It was agonizing and wonderful, and delightfully delicious.
Lord Richard and David Cyprian are now officially one of my favourite book couples. Their inner quarrels and their deep love for each other were addictive. I quite literally couldn't put this book down.
I loved seeing the previous books' characters again, watching them interact in a large group, and I loved that the plot brought them all together. I wish that I could read more and more of these characters, and am sad that this is the last in the trilogy.
K.J. Charles has quickly become one of my favourite authors. I very much look forward to reading whatever comes next!

Superb & Great Conclusion to Amazing trilogy
I honestly thought Magpies was going to be the best of all KJ Charles' works, but this series is superb! Each novel has been so different, dealing with a different (oh so different) relationship.
Cyprian, the pining red headed valet/spy/flashman to Lord Richard Vane - this novel looks at the power dynamics between a valet who wants so much and a master who is punctilious in denying his desires, to be the ideal master - aloof and mindful of his duty. There is more pine than in a BC Forest.
But when the characters from the earlier novel are imperilled, Cyprian is needed to solve matters behind the scene, but is no longer Richard's Valet.
This is a solid 4.5 star book, and the at conclusion of the scheming is incredibly satisying HEA, but it is also the end of a hugely satisfying fabulous trilogy.

Loved it!
Wow! I'm really at a loss for words. I just loved everything about this and Richard is redeemed. It wasn't anything like I expected and Richard had better never get on his fox's bad side or he is in big trouble.
My love for Silas is unending. I love that man. He had some great scenes in this book.
Matthew Lloyd Davies has become my favorite British narrators. I highly recommend this whole series!

Superlative Conclusion
Where does A Gentleman's Position rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Easily in the Top Five. Actually, in order to keep my top five from being taken up by the three books in this series, I include them as a group. They are all extraordinary, but this one is tremendous.
What did you like best about this story?
The absolute usurpation of various tropes and expectations based on the appearance and status of the characters. Charles always has a strong command of sexual negotiation and politics, but watching two intrinsically Alpha personalities with extremely different psychological expressions find common ground is incredible. Humanizing Richard in particular who has been more of an entity than a person presiding over the Ricardians, is a genuine triumph.
Have you listened to any of Matthew Lloyd Davies’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
His work on this series of books has been absolutely outstanding. His commitment and delivery are impeccable, making everything from seditous politics, printmaking, to sex vivid and immensely enjoyable to listen to.

Mediocre plot, great narrator, too much sex.
narrator was the best thing about it. characters were decent, but too much focus on the sex, not enough on the plot. needed a bit more substance. overall not bad, but not riveting either. I had hoped for a more intricate game of cat and mouse from the Illustrious Mr. Ciprian, but recieved a relatively straight forward game of rumors. Ciprian should have defected, apparently genuinely and then done a few seemingly nasty things before turning on maltravers at the last second and masterfully outwitting him and his co-conspirator having planned the whole thing long in advance.

Sad To See The Series End
Another winner. The narrator does a great job, although I can't say I cared much for how he reads Ash. Ash has appeared in the prior books, but I don't recall him 'speaking' with a slight lisp as he does in this book. Other than that, all the characters were done quite well.
The author also does a great job with the plot. It doesn't seem plausible at first, with what we know of Lord Richard, that he would consider an affair with a servant, but because of what happened with Dominic in the prior book, I can see how Richard could slowly be changing his rigid moral viewpoint.
I wish there were more stories in this series. I'd read (listen) to anything written by K J Charles as long as it's read by Matthew Lloyd Davies.

good conclusion to trilogy
I liked the story but the narrator's voice for the lead Richard I thought was completely incorrect. the character is supposed to be 39 and his voice made him sound like 60. that was the only thing I found not good.
