The Intoxicating Mr Lavelle: Shortlisted for the Polari Book Prize for LGBTQ+ Fiction

Superb. Best book I’ve read in a very long time. Wish I was just starting. Book- amazing! Narrator- first class! Bravo!!!!

BLOWN AWAY!!! I finished this book last week yet I still am at a loss for my review. I picked this one up right after reading Neil Blackmore’s Dangerous Kingdom of Love- I sooo enjoyed that one I needed more. This book was very different. While his writing is so sharp, executed and captivating the mood something else. Both books had substance and while historical are socially applicable today. I felt that was one of the best part of his writing in both books how it was executed perfectly to the time yet felt so relevant to now. This is my kind of book, it’s tragic, and beautiful but incredibly moving. I am so impressed with his research, and the way everything had its place. I can’t say too much without spoiling this book. It’s is very difficult to read so if your looking for an easy HEA this is not it. I highly recommend the audio it made the book so enjoyable. Phenomenal narration

This story really moved me. It is amazingly written, definitely the kind of stories that haunts me for a while after finishing it and I absolutely loved it. A physical copy of this book is already on its way to me because I want to be able to hold it. The narrator did an amazing job at voicing the different characters and emotions throughout the book and I want everyone to listen to this beautiful tale. Hands down a 5/5 for me. Thank you !
