I love the character development in Allistair and Robin. The storyline and plot and writing makes it so believable that something of this exact nature could have occurred in real life. As the Author's Note (which I suggest reading), this sort of scenario queer folks, nonbinary folks and trans folk have existed for centuries now, and this is a story of one. My favorite character, though not appearing often, has got top be Keatings. He is such a funny fellow, down-to-earth and protective.
Graphic: Cursing, Death, Drug use, Sexual content, Alcohol, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism

trigger warning; homophobia and transphobia, body dysmorphia, sexual content, alcohol, infidelity, slut shaming
Dude this book rocked my world. I don't think I ever expected to see a non binary/gender nonconforming character in a regency romance but I could not have been happier stumbling across this. Cat Sebastian has skyrocketed herself to the top of my period piece romances and is gonna stay there for the forseeable future.
My only disappointment was that Robin wasn't able to convince the Marquess to go full blown "fuck the gentry" disband his estate and fuck off to a farm with her because I stg he would have and that's truly the leftist gay chaos we deserve.
Keep em coming Cat you foxy bitch I love your books
