I desperately needed something to fill my time with while awaiting the release of season 3 part 2 of Bridgerton on Netflix. What better way than to seek out Regency books surrounding the Ton?

I breezed through this book with ease, it's speed much quicker than the books I usually enjoy but it filled the desire to find something spicy, queer and still within the era I am enjoying in other media.

On occasion I found that the emotional development of our main men was quick and almost akin to whiplash at times. You have to understand that these gentlemen have known eachothe for years and we are merely seeing the culmination of that time together.

The intrigue was honestly well thought out and kept me feeling invested and sympathetic to poor Warry.

A good quick read if you, like me, needed a fix of the Ton while you wait.

I was a bit disappointed with this book. It was fun, but the plot was a bit bland and felt a tad rushed. However, It was a fun read if you're looking for something light and easy.

I did appreciate the concept of queer relationships being relatively normal in a historical piece, but that was the only new and thrilling thing that kept me reading. The characters are likeable but not loveable.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. There’s much to like: it is quite funny in parts, and the chemistry between the MCs is good. But, to me, the AU premise of the book had too many logical inconsistencies, which other reviewers have enumerated. The thing with an AU is that it has to make sense within the universe it occupies, and this just didn’t. Also, I love dumbasses but Hartwell and Warry, for most of this book, bring it to an extreme level, to the point where I think it undermines the plot. Although I did have issues with this book, I probably will read the next in the series because I do need to see Lord Christmas Gale in luurve.
