Summary

In "The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn" by Henry Kingsley, readers are transported to the Australian outback in the mid-19th century, where the protagonist embarks on a journey of self-discovery and moral growth. The novel is characterized by its vivid descriptions of the harsh landscape, intense character interactions, and exploration of themes such as loyalty, friendship, and the clash between civilization and the wilderness. Kingsley's writing style is both engaging and thought-provoking, making the book a captivating read for those interested in historical fiction and adventure literature. The novel's exploration of the Australian frontier also sheds light on the complexities of colonial life and the struggles faced by early settlers. Henry Kingsley, influenced by his own experiences in Australia, drew inspiration from the country's landscape and history to create a compelling narrative that resonates with readers to this day. I highly recommend "The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn" to anyone looking for a richly detailed and emotionally powerful novel that delves into the human experience amidst the backdrop of a rugged and untamed land.

    There's an unconscious Fae drooling on Len's couch. That's not even the weirdest thing to happen to him this week. 
    Len's been told that not all Fae are scheming, manipulative pricks. A moot point, since this one definitely is—he knows that much from bitter experience. 
    So, when his vampire ex-coworker dumps Albigard of the Unseelie on Len's doorstep, he gives her two hours to find a better hiding place for the Fae fugitive before tossing him straight to the curb with the rest of the garbage. 
    He should have known better, of course. Because if there's one thing Len's learned since being thrown into the deep end of the seedy paranormal underworld, it's that nothing is ever so simple. 
    Now he's on the run from a cataclysmic primal force trying to tear its way into the human realm, stuck with an annoying bastard who already knows way too much about the inside of Len's messed-up head. The first time he met Albigard, Len punched the Fae in his too-perfect face. This time, they'll have to learn to work together—or risk having their souls torn apart and consigned to the void, with the rest of humanity facing the same fate soon after. 
    The Wild Hunt has slipped its chains. Darkness is coming for the world.

    When it comes to regrets, I have none. My life is perfect. I own a bar, work hard, party harder, and smother my niblings in all the love they deserve. I don’t need to settle down, as much as my sister might want me to.  
    But then Joey Manning walks into my office and leaves me all but begging to give him a job … and wanting to give him so much more.  
    The self-professed straight man is in my head and while I know that I need to move on from him, my body isn’t getting that message. It doesn’t help that Joey is a grade A flirt who can banter with the best of them.   
    I’ve never had regrets. Not until Joey Manning.  
    Joey 
    The bills keep piling up and the pressure to get my sisters through college before we’re evicted is always on the back of my mind. Whoever said life was for living, clearly forgot that living’s expensive.  
    My default mode is stressed AF and working myself to the bone, and there’s only one person who gives me a break from all that.  
    Art de Almeida.  
    My boss.  
    The one man I shouldn’t flirt with, but I can’t seem to stop. I want to get under his skin. To leave him panting for me. Which wouldn’t be such a bad thing except that he thinks I’m straight, and I’ve never bothered to correct him.  
    I need this job.  
    But some days I worry that I need Art more.
