This is a cute story with some interesting characters. I'm a sucker for "sex first, catch feelings later" which this one does nicely. I liked the secondary characters a lot but the leads were interesting as well. I thought the plot got kind of stale in the middle there and the ending went on a little too long. I also took off points because I really hate conflict that arrives only so long as the characters don't talk to each other about things they could just as easily solve with a simple conversation. Very "Bridgerton but make it gay" so there's that going for it. Overall I liked it I just didn't love it. So far no one is able to beat K.J. Charles for historical queer romance for me. Except, maybe, Olivia Waite...
