Three traitor lords plotted to kill the king; now their sons must deal with the aftermath.

When butler Daniel Rivers finds his employer, the Earl of Lynster, has shot himself, confirming he was one of the traitor lords plotting to kill the king, Daniel’s only thought is to protect his childhood friend James, the new Lord Lynster, from the scandal. He’s been quietly looking out for Lord James ever since the day by the pond when James’s “experiment” of a kiss proved to Daniel that he loved the young lord.

James had heard rumors of traitor lords and a plot to kill the king, but he didn’t realize his father was one of them until he read a newspaper story hinting the traitors were on the verge of being arrested and he goes to his estranged father’s home to find his father has shot himself rather than be tried,
When it’s discovered there may be more traitors involved in the conspiracy than the ones the Crown already knows about, James will need all his resources to prove he isn’t one of them.

A well written page turning novel, the plot is well paced & the characterisation is good. James & Daniel are likeable & their attraction is apparent from the start, although their relationship was important the main feature of the book was whether they could prove their innocence or be tried for treason. An enjoyable read which I read in a couple of seasons & I look forward to reading the rest of the series

Just in case you didn't pay attention to the cover or didn't real the blurb. This is a M/M romance with steamy parts. If you are fine with that, this book is an enjoable read. I liked the characters and read the book in one afternoon. There is treason, suicide, prision, and it all has to do with the mystery of the wine. Very clever!

Overall it was okay not great. A lot seemed to retold over and over or repeatedly said. I would have loved it dated what time period in London. The two main characters have a friendship but a love connection there is none. Very predictable in my opinion. The is a brief back history bits that's it no others to show a "love".

The first one,in this series.
that for me is allways a bit of.
but I liked the set-up and the characters.
the romance was there but not enough to make it
really steamy or sexy.I liked the story and like to see
where this is going.It is well written,with attention for
detail and the sidecharacters.
I love that in this type off novels
3,5 stars,for me and hope on more off this

Lord Lynster Discovers is the first book I've read by Adella J Harris. I enjoyed reading it, and would read more by this author, but I have to admit that I've read other historical M/M romance stories that were much better.

The story itself was good and the writing wasn't bad but it failed to keep my attention as much as I would have liked. My favorite books engage all of my emotions and usually bring on the tears; this one didn't do that fully.

I liked the story enough that I will probably read the next one in the series. While the storyline for the two main characters in this book was resolved, and there isn't what I would call a cliffhanger, I'd still like to find out what's behind the rest of the traitor lords.

James has inherited the title Earl of Lynster from his estranged farther along with scandal and possible treason. Daniel has worked for the Lynster for nearly his whole life, now butler he keeps hanging on in the chance that James will notice him.

I loved this, the mystery was interesting and the love story really sweet. The ending was realistic while also being happy.
