This was so good - just a really enjoyable book! Dramatic and ridiculous adventure, delicious romance with tension drawn out over the whole book via some faintly ludicrous and catastrophic misunderstandings, a good amount of angst but enjoyable angst rather than traumatic because it's the kind of writing where you feel secure that everything is going to turn out alright in the end, and some great characters and character development - the main character is a bit of an idiotic arsehole but you know he's had a rough go of it and very quickly you realise he's got a heart of gold so start really rooting for him. Highly recommend this as a fun pick-me-up kind of read.

(m/m, friends to lovers, YA, fantasy, regency). I really really enjoyed this one. Endearing characters with excellent character development, and great twists and turns. I liked the balance of suspense and surprise with eye rolls at the characters being exactly, sometimes predictably, themselves. Also the novella (The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky) is cute and endearing.
