The Modern Gentleman

The Modern Gentleman is one of Meghan Quinn’s contemporary romance novels, with the title pointing to the kind of male lead character study that contemporary romance has been increasingly using. The modern gentleman framing positions the male lead as a particular contemporary character type whose specific qualities give the novel its central interest.

Meghan Quinn writes contemporary romance with sharp dialogue and a real ear for the way friends and family members actually talk to each other. Her supporting casts often steal scenes, and the family or friend dynamics in her novels add weight to the central romance beyond just the chemistry between two people. Her sex scenes are warm without being scorching, with intimate moments that serve the relationship rather than dominate the page count.

For readers who enjoy Lauren Layne, Christina Lauren, Helena Hunting, or Tessa Bailey, Meghan Quinn is squarely in the same neighborhood. The Modern Gentleman is a comfortable entry into her catalogue.
