Sequel to Petticoats and Pantaloons

Outwardly, twenty-one-year-old Julian Buchanan is the epitome of wealth, breeding and good looks. He’s a pink of the ton in Regency London, and his position in society is assured. But beneath his impeccable surface, Julian is riddled with doubt.

Matters come to a head in the autumn of 1812 when his autocratic father, Sir Roger Buchanan, orders Julian to court an heiress and propose marriage. Finally, Julian must acknowledge that he has no interest in women. At the same time, he becomes involved with Rafe Ingles, a radical intellectual whose beliefs concur with Julian’s inward convictions.

With pressure building and so much at stake, can Julian find the courage to break the habit of a lifetime and choose love and freedom over duty?

Beautiful sweeping end to the Town Bronze trilogy. I was most interested in Barney's HEA and while it's not explicit, I know he and Rose will end up happy. Barney was such a stand-up guy! His calm and practical handling of Julian's situation was so impressive. I love strong women in my MM romances. I was so impressed by Bella, the woman Julian is told to marry. Her handling of the scheme was masterful. She was definitely not one of those empty-headed young ladies looking for a man. Also loved Julian - multi-dimensional character caught up in society's expectations for a "pink of the ton." Loved his realization that something had to change and applauded his decision. His romance with Rafe was a little lukewarm for me. I think that is because I didn't get a real sense of Rafe as a person - guess I wanted more from him but this did not affect my enjoyment of the book. E. Thomas' writing shines in this book. The bits and pieces of each characters' story is laid out brilliantly. The turns of phrase, the words that evoke images - all wonderful. "It seemed to lurk balefully from the silver platter on the hall table." Love that word. "Well, that a turn-up for the books.." Hah! That was an understatement! And "...the whisper of skirts.." You can just hear the rustle of a woman's clothes. Sorry to see these characters leave us. But Jasper, Mortimer, Julian, Rafe and Barney and Rose will go on living their lives.

Impeccable Credentials by Ellie Thomas

Book one was steamy and kinky, book two was sweet and innocent. But book three… oh, my poor heart, I’m entirely consumed by everything that is Julian and Rafe.

I don’t want their amazing love story to end, and I don’t know how I’ll be able to let them go.

Ellie’s writing is out of this world stunning. The wit, the subtle pining, the delicate descriptions. And these men. These amazing men, who were forced to love in the shadows of society.

I love them all for their bravery and pure belief in following their hearts. Their fierceness tinged with innocence. Their idealism.

But above all, I love Julian and Rafe. They will live forever in my heart, forever in love, unafraid and uninhibited, in their belief that there’s a place for their love. That in spite of what society dictates, loving someone can never be wrong.

Regardless of gender, class, color or the artificial laws of man, love is and always will be love. And those who try to deny that or stand in its way, will lead lesser, sadder and lonelier lives until their hearts fade into nothing. Because the heart cannot exist on intolerance and hate. It cannot.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful story to close the trilogy
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024
A beautiful story to round out this trilogy. Julian finally gets his story and it is fraught with ups and downs in dealing with his overbearing father and his wishes to see his son wed. However, his father doesn't respect his wishes to not marry and therefore Julian must escape. He hides in plain sight, which is rather brilliant, and becomes a working man while nursing his broken heart.

For several chapters I thought that Julian wouldn't get his happily ever after, but I knew that I wouldn't be disappointed in the ending, and that held true. It was heartwarming when Rafe called upon Julian and they were reunited.

I loved Barney's take-charge attitude in helping his friend without even thinking twice about doing so. We also got to see Rose and their involvement in Julian's story, which makes me love her even more than I did in her story. And Julian's unassuming acceptance of Rose and her relationship with Barney was just perfect, especially in the final chapter. I also loved the conversation that Julian strikes up with Sir Mortimer and their quiet acceptance of each other.

Seeing these three couples all have their dreams fulfilled and to have such loving relationships in their futures brought this trilogy to a perfect close. The prose throughout these stories is so beautiful and the emotions that are imbued in the words bring each story to life on the page. While I'm sad to say goodbye to these characters, I know that the next ones that are introduced will entrance me as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this!
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024
Impeccable Credentials is Book 3 in the Town Bronze series. This is a beautifully written story about Julian and Rafe. I was so looking forward to this book and I wasn't disappointed. Julian has to decide if he's going to do as his father wants of him, marry a lady his father has chosen, or break free. I loved watching Julian stand on his own two feet and embrace his own interests. While doing so he meets Rafe. I loved Julian and Rafe's chemistry and their sweet interactions. It took a bit of courage but Julian and Rafe got their HEA. It was great seeing some of the other characters and their interactions with Julian. Barney especially really came through to help Julian in his time of need. This was a great story all around and I definitely recommend it.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Impeccable Credentials - Love in its Purest Form

‘Rafe rested his forehead against Julian’s. For the first time, Julian was truly connected with another. Not from social or familial obligation, or the meaningless slotting together of body parts, but in an intangible way that felt instinctively right. Julian felt entirely enclosed in this small, safe world, surrounded by tenderness and consideration.’

Ellie Thomas has a touch, that has readers feeling as if they are standing amongst her characters, no matter the time period.

As Julian, who have read about in previous stories, although this is a prequel in her Town Bronze trilogy, is visited more in depth and we get to watch him grow as a man and in his relationships.

I find Ms. Thomas’ writing to be one of the most fascinating, as it transcends time and class, and provides a romantic touch to historical traditions. Each read is a joy to behold!

A truly sweet but at times heartbreaking tale as Julian is bullied and threatened by his overbearing, pompous father to marry, any heiress will as far as he's concerned, while Julian would prefer none. We meet again the men from previous tales in this series, plus a brief sweet visit from dear Jo. Just a lovely read, as always.

I was thrilled to get the latest novel from Ellie Thomas, and that this was a longer book, giving us more of everything Ellie Thomas! As always, Ellie gives us exactly what we need and expect. A forbidden attraction, a stern distant father, a gorgeous stranger and all that delicious pining. We also catch up with Barney and Rose as well as Jasper and Mortimer as the delightfully lovely Julian and his Rafe got their HEA. The Town Bronze series has also given Ellie a chance to show off her talents in the steam department, and I really enjoyed the heat of Julian and Rafe's encounters!
Can't wait for more!
