Sir Shithead left his house to the now-adult Hartley instead of leaving it to his son, Martin.
We never learn much about what happened, but it’s clear that Hartley was deeply traumatized by the experience. Initially Hartley portrays this as a consensual relationship between equals, but the story eventually reveals that Hartley was a young teenager at the time and since then he can’t stand to be touched. In an effort to provide for them he began a relationship with Sir Humphrey Easterbrook (who will henceforth be known as Sir Shithead), his godfather. Hartley, who is White, grew up poor with two brothers, Will and Ben. The book has a lovely romance as well as a theme of found family and recovery from trauma.
I enjoyed this book so much! A Gentleman Never Keeps Score is a Regency m/m about a disgraced gentleman and a Black pub keeper. Genre: Historical: European, LGBTQIA, Romance
