While I won’t flatter myself by pretending I have anywhere near the talent of KJ Charles, I will say I have never read a book where the author’s way of thinking felt so much like my own. I haven’t read many romance/erotic novels despite being a pervert myself, partially because of misogyny around the genre but also because I figured I’d be bored. But this was both intellectually and sexually stimulating and satisfying, with deep philosophical conversations and amusing repartee interspersed with just as serious and playful and HOT gay sex. I especially enjoyed learning new things here and there about period-relevant events, politics, science and and how naturally all these conversations flowed. This book made me cum AND rethink my relationship to pleasure and polyamory. It’s a balm for the queer soul and a mouth-watering treat. Highly recommend.

Loved this a-historical romance. Couldn't put it down! Our dashing lad is a bit tiresome in figuring out what he wants, but I love his journey anyway, and the way he cares for his sister feels very genuine. Plus I love that we don't have a monogamous expectation at any point.
