Gosh I love Cat Sebastian. Two Rogues Make a Right was just the soft, tender, slightly angsty, queer historical romance I needed. This is the third book in the Seducing the Sedgwicks series, and for the most part it can standalone. I found myself a little confused in the beginning but the story focus quickly shifted to  the relationship between Martin and Will. This book looks at queer visibility and safety networks, chronic illness, disability caretaking, and class difference. And as per Cat Sebastian's norm, looks at these themes without centering the story around LGBTQIA+ trauma.

Two Rogues had much the same tenderness and friendship as We Could Be So Good. The audiobook also had the same narrator for both books, and I liked this book's narrator performance only slightly more. There was very little distinction between MMC character voices, which occasionally made it difficult to determine who was speaking. That's my only hang up.

Cat Sebastian does sappy sweet historical like no other! It was a quick and easy read that left me smiling but also had the historical depth that made the characters feel real. It didn't feel like Martin and Will's story was ending in the moment but really just beginning.
