This was laugh out loud funny at parts (def recommend the audiobook for the voice acting and right delivery). MLM, Kitt’s queer awakening. Witty banter! Percy figuring out how to be a “normal” person is hilarious. Engaging plot besides the romance, a little mysterious at parts. 


4/5 🌶️

A funny, grumpy x sunshine about two men who meet unexpectedly. I loved the banter between Kit and Percy and how their romance evolved over time. I especially appreciated the perspective of Kit, a bisexual man being with a man for the first time. I read this via audiobook and it was great! Kit is also living with chronic pain due to an injury he sustained in battle. I really liked his character and how he grew throughout the book to unpack his internalized ableism and learned how to live with his disability. However, there is constant use of the c-word, an ableist slur.

I've desperately enjoyed some of Cat Sebastian's other books like Hither, Page (an all-time fave) AND I'm a history buff with a great love for this time period, so I'm not quite sure what didn't grab me about this one. 

It's a good time, the characters are great, and the plot is interesting on paper, but I think another review nailed it for me - everyone's just so NICE. Which is great, good for them, but this cast deserves to be a little more intense! To go OFF. The stakes just didn't feel high or intense enough for what's supposed to be a pretty emotionally charged heist. And, as a lover of heists, there was not enough actual planning or heisting for me :(

But all that aside, it's a fun queer historical romance romp and I really did get attached to the cast, so 3⭐️.

THIS WAS UTTERLY DELIGHTFUL AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND.

A gay historical romance is always enough to entice me, but this book had me captivated every moment and I couldn’t put it down. I adore the characters, they’re so beautifully real and tender, and the plot was so entertaining and moved at the best pace to keep things steady without skipping over any necessary growth or insight into the mystery of it all. I’m so excited to read the next book and learn all the hidden depths of Marian and Rob 😍
