I loved this sweet queer fiction that is loosely historical. Is it sexually accurate? Not really? Is this true in terms of history? Eh. But is it the cutest sweetest little steamy gay romance? Absolutely. I fell in love with all the characters and the plot. It’s so engaging. I loved their banter.   I will very likely be reading the follow up.

 This was fun but weirdly forgettable. The story never stays tense for too long, and most of the stressful topics are handled as things that are at least partially processed or happened a while ago. Even Kitt's very tragic backstory isn't discussed fully until well into the book, and at a moment where it specifically matters to the story and isn't just tragedy for the sake of complexity.

I like that the book begins by establishing that Percy isn't going to be rich for very long, thus reducing the tension in the story. Even though Kitt doesn't learn this for a while, I was much happier knowing that the giant disparity between their stations wouldn't stay forever. 

If you want a romance that has a bit of danger but usually keeps the stress low, try this one.
