This is a perfect book and I wept. Honestly, KJC is rarely a miss for me, and I delight in seeing all the ways she can set up an absurd betray-cute. Fortune hunter snares young, innocent miss and falls for her grumpy uncle instead?! Only KJC. I highlighted half of this (Robin and Marianne, siblings of my heart), and I'm so grateful I read A Thief in the Night first, because it made the second epilogue a real joy to read.

4.5

An absolute delight of a Regency romp with excellent banter. I just loved how Robin and Hart came to accept and love each other. If you like secretly soft characters who actually communicate with each other, this book has that in spades.

A standalone m/m romance from KJ Charles featuring Robin Loxleigh—yes, as in Robin Hood—and his sister Marianne on the hunt for a rich and eligible bachelor for Marianne to marry, to keep the both of them from poverty. Of course, things don't quite go to plan—Robin finds himself right in the path of Sir John Hartlebury, Hart to his friends, and through their combative first interactions they begin to fall for one another. A sweet and enjoyable romance with emotional depths, just what I go to KJ Charles for.

I adore the premise of this book--two men find love when one incurs a gambling debt he can't pay and offers to make good by being the other man's sexual fantasy for a month. Of course, they catch feelings, and the rest of the cast is a ton of fun.
