Another gem from Sierra Simone

I have yet to read anything by Sierra Simone that wasn’t wonderful. This little MM novella doesn’t disappoint. I just want to give Peregrine and Alexander both a hug and trundle them off to my guest room for them to love each other under my roof.

The far hope series is not my favorite of the historical Simone stories, but it is still good.   Peregrine and Sandy are good together.

I feel like I say it in every review I write for a Sierra Simone book, but she just gets it. Now I just need for her to write a full length queer historical. I just appreciate that her books have actual stakes, compelling characters, and a romance that you root for. Thank you for some good food queen one day I might read the het stuff you write.

The audio of this is DIVINE. Shane East and James Joseph are two of my favorite narrators and their performances did not disappoint in this story! Sierra Simone is hit or miss for me, but this was one that I loved. It was a sweet MM story with the right amount of spice. I love a good sassy, cocky character and you find that in Sandy. He's not afraid to get what he wants and will do pretty much whatever to get it. The writing was good and I liked the way that both characters discovered how they felt for each other and their realizations that this wasn't just some fling, a little fun during.

I enjoyed this novella much more than the first in the series! For a very short story (and audiobook), I felt like the characters and their relationship to one another had more depth to it. And I enjoyed the amount of pining Peregrine brought to the table. 

POV: dual third person

You can expect: highwayman MMC, rake MMC, enemy’s brother/brother’s enemy, revenge, opposites attract, captive/captor, fuck the rich, insta lust, pining. 

Rep: queer MC, bisexual MC (implied), grief

Spice: 3/5

CW: kidnapping, death of family (past, off page)
