I think I expected it to be more erotic than romantic, but it was a lovely romance novel for a relaxing weekend with low stakes and sweet characters.

A lot of the content warnings are genre-typical and/or occur off the page. Sexual content gets explicit but never lasts more than a couple pages.

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.

emotional hopeful lighthearted slow-paced

5.0

This is so soft and tender and sweet. I loved it so much. The affection and intimacy that Will and Martin had was just lovely. I’m a sucker for idiots in love and hurt/comfort and this book had both of those in spades. There is no semblance of a plot, which is not a criticism — I loved the complete focus on these two idiots in their cottage, but for those who love more plot-driven books: this is not for you. 

I did find the Americanisms in this one a bit grating. I’ve resigned myself to the odd ‘gotten’ and missing prepositions in historicals written by Americans (and Cat Sebastian is by far one of the better authors for not having Americanisms in her work), but this even had American wildflowers in it! It’s a testament to how much I loved this book that I’m still giving it five stars despite them. 

I’m so sad I have finished this series because it was cosy and gentle in all the best ways.

Quite fond of these two idiots — their relationship was really lovely, lots of mutual caregiving — but the pace is pretty leisurely and it did drag a bit for me.

This was my first adult historical romance and I absolutely loved it. I learned so much from Two Rogues Make A Right about self love and being brave. Seeing someone with a chronic illness be loved so completely and unconditionally by another person was representation I needed to see so badly. There were so many times I had to pause the book and cry because I realized that I needed to hear what Will was saying to Martin. I related so much to Martin and his struggles and fears, it was like reading my own thoughts. I loved this story so much and it will be one I keep returning to anytime I need to be reminded that I am worth it.
