Lucky Lovers of London Book 1
By: Jess Everlee
Gay Historical Romance

𝒪𝓋𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁𝓁: 4.5/5
𝒮𝓅𝒾𝒸𝑒: 2.5/5

𝑅𝑒𝓋𝒾𝑒𝓌: There were a lot of really cute moments sprinkled throughout this book that I loved. I cannot wait to continue this series!
That being said, I am a little sad about the spice, there was promise of something really good between characters but most of the scenes were fade to black or not descriptive.

I thought this book was very well written and I enjoyed the concept/plot twists which actually did surprise me. I'm just not a huge fan of historical romance in general and I did expect this book to be a lot more horny than it actually was.

I really liked all the characters and can see why people love this book, I just expected a bit more I think.

I really enjoyed this one. Miles was lonely and distrustful and Charlie swans into his bookstore to fanboy over his secret author alias and accidentally makes it sound like blackmail. Miles is writing sad boy smut in the 1880s so it was super illegal. After feeling Miles up to prove that he wasn't there to blackmail him (my favorite move of choice) Charlie takes off and thinks he'll never see him again. You thought. That's the love of your life, bro.

Charlie has been told that he's going to marry a woman and really doesn't want to but does have debts that he needs to clear and that will only happen with the wedding. I liked the friends that Charlie has who are the only ones who seem to be genuinely looking after him and his downward spiral until Miles. I'm excited that the next book seems to be Forrester and Noah.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.
