I’m not surprised that I ended up enjoying this instalment in Seducing the Sedgwicks. This series is quickly becoming a comfort read of mine. I really appreciated that in this one, Sebastian didn’t shy away from the trauma and racism that the two main characters experienced. Also, ALL the characters felt wonderfully real. I particularly loved the sibling relationship between Hartley and Will. Finally, there was more of a plot in this book than in It Takes Two To Tumble, which I liked. My one criticism is that Sam deserved more of a character arc.

kharlan3's review against another edition

(m/m, regency). This may be my fav Sedgwick book. Found/chosen family, not pretending everyone in historical Britain was white, finding agency and healing from trauma, and very hot, consent-centric sex scenes. I love the meditation on visible vs invisible queerness. I love more Sedgwick boys being taken with animals. I love to see the clear “down with the rich” and ACAB energy. I love sharing my name with a midwife. I do find myself grasping to think if Sam Fox has any flaws?
