A young bisexual British lord embarks on an unforgettable Grand Tour of Europe with his best friend/secret crush. An 18th-century romantic adventure for the modern age written by This Monstrous Thing author Mackenzi Lee—Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets the 1700s.

Henry “Monty” Montague doesn’t care that his roguish passions are far from suitable for the gentleman he was born to be. But as Monty embarks on his grand tour of Europe, his quests for pleasure and vice are in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family’s estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy.

So Monty vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty’s reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.

Witty, dazzling, and intriguing at every turn, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is an irresistible romp that explores the undeniably fine lines between friendship and love.

Don't miss Felicity's adventures in The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy, the highly anticipated sequel!

Rather good. The character faced nonstop problem after problem, which became repetitive after a while. But other than that, it was overall a rather good book.

Amazing!! 💚. Such a fun book! I loved all of the characters and their unique flaws and personalities, Monty is one of the best protagonists I’ve read. This book was such a fun read, and I highly recommend it.

Amazing. Probably the best book I’ve ever read

real good. very nice book i very much enjoed thank u mackenzie very cool

Super fun read. What great, fun adventures! More please!

Surprising, fun, and incredibly well written. Monty is witty, funny, and overall very entertaining in his narration of this incredible story. Mackenzi Lee’s writing style is inspirational. This book was both romantic and adventurous in the best way possible.

Smart, Unpredictable, Cute, and Amazingly Fun. (Not entirely spoiler-free, but I'll do my best to keep them to a minimum.) At first, I thought I knew exactly what this would turn out to be, and I still was confident in these thoughts up until the chapter in which Monty faces the first set of consequences for what he did in Versailles and is separated from Lockwood. That's not to say I thought it would be boring - I just assumed it would be a few chapters in each city, with a different hilarious scandal in each new locale, and a romance that developed in the background, hampered by a third wheel that gets in the way. How wrong I was. When the traveling young adults are separated from Lockwood, you can almost feel the author's excitement as she suddenly gets to the real story. What follows is a series of unexpected twists, wherein the genre even seems to change a few times, but not in a way that suggests disorganization whilst plotting the story - Rather it all feels natural. A manhunt in the aftermath of the initial escape from the Duke, a mystery of sorts as the trio attempts to piece together the story of the Lazarus Key, and an adventurous, swashbuckling, pirate-filled romp across the ocean. Speaking of the "At Sea" portion of the book - This is when it really gets good. Not that the rather unexpected betrayal in Barcelona wasn't amazingly well-executed, of course... But when the trio ends up stowing away on a ship and then being seized by pirates, a new sense of tension, adventure, and badassery enters the story. While the book ends rather abruptly, it certainly goes out on a high note and with quite a bang... No pun intended... Ahem... And, there's Felicity, who is one of the best parts of the book. I could go on and on about her, but I'd rather not spoil it. I'll just say: She is brilliantly intelligent, and there is much more to her than meets the eye. She's outsmarted her entire family and kept a few secrets of her own from them for years. I'm glad that, by the end, she and Monty have reached a sort of understanding and are, for lack of a better word, friends (Although they'd both deny it). The romance between Percy and Monty was done exceptionally well. The author captured the feelings of pining after a friend of the same gender better than I think anyone else ever has.... Not that too many authors write books about it, but the point still stands! It's truly realistic. It's ugly at times, beautiful at times, tense, confusing, adorable, and makes Monty want to tear his hair out most of the time. The final resolution to that plot arc is one that will surely satisfy the reader, even though it took it's time getting there. Overall, the book was sometimes hilarious, sometimes extremely tense, sometimes romantic, always intriguing, fun, smart, relatable, and unpredictable, and occasionally quite sharp-tongued. Monty is characterized fantastically, and he performs his role as narrator extremely well. The book was everything I'd hoped for and more, and while I wish for a sequel, I also understand that the story is resolved and I believe that it couldn't have ended in a more satisfying way. Still, though, I wonder what happened to Felicity... Did she take the offer she was given, or not? Other than that, everything was tied up and put to rest fantastically.

Historically Fabulous. I read the first five chapters of this book though an EpicReads promotion and immediately fell in love with it. The plot is not choppy and that is often not the outcome for books that have such a fast paced plot that changes constantly. The characters develop in their own way but it improves each yet makes them relatable. This story will capture any reader and throw them into a world of adventure.It also will teach the reader a valuable lesson.

i cried for 15 minutes straight. I have photo evidence of this occurring i cried at the end so bad my face turned red and my eyes swole up and i had a headache for the rest of the day i was screaming bawling like it was real tears. Btw i love percy sm he’s like one of my favorite book characters it’s nice to read about a character i relate to i feel like there’s not a lot of good biracial rep in historical fiction like we can do fun stuff too !! it was funny as heck it made me laugh cry gout alot of things i literally thought about this book months after finishing it it is the best thing i’ve read recently i’m so serious pick this up frl.

LOVED IT. i LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! monty and percy's love for each other makes me so happy. if you liked this book, read the novella- "A gentleman's guide to getting lucky"

A Truly Epic Adventure. Filled with adventure and well-developed characters, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue is a must-read novel that leaves you longing for countless more romantic journeys with Monty and Percy.

A gentlemen’s guide to vice and virtue. A really great book! Great concept. Intricate language. A couple times it gets to be a bit of a trek to get from one plot point to another but overall I recommend this adventure love story to all.

BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!. Bruh... there are no words to explain how much I LOVED this book. It is a perfect mix of romance, and adventure. The characters were sooo perfectly written. Monty and Percy are just perfect together!!!!😤😤 PLEASE READ THIS AMAZING BOOK!!!!

So fun, loved this adventure!. I love historical fiction, and this love story was a real page turner. Def recommend

Great. One of the best books I’ve read in a while.

Not worth the money. Deeply mediocre, more than a little racist and ableist as well as biphobic. The plot was basically nonsensical and it never felt like the stakes meant anything
