I really liked this book and have reviewed it here https://johnthecaptainryan.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-gentlemans-guide-to-vice-and-virtue.html.

The story is well told and exceptionally researched. It's exciting and a real page turner. Well worth a read. Can't wait for the sequel later this year.

A silly little read, and just about as good as you'd expect from the cover. Just don't read too deeply into it and it'll be a right pirate adventure.

PIRATES. BISEXUALS. THE FRENCH COURT. VENICE. What an AWESOME and funny read. I fully enjoyed this book.  However, at times I found myself so frustrated with the characters at times, making choices that were completely counterintuitive to the success of their journey. However, I don’t really think it’s that deep and I loved the story. I wish Percy and Monty nothing but happiness.

Slow start, but once Mackenzi Lee found the plot, the story was worth it. Swashbuckling pirates and humorous flirtation as well as bi and aro/ace representation was abundant and lovely!

OH MY GOD.
I've been waiting for this book to come out for ages, and it's finally here, AH!
It also saved me from my reading slump.
I loved it as much as I thought I would have. Monty and Percy are new favorites now. I just love them so much.
Of course, I also loved the iconic, show-stopping legend herself. Felicity. JUST AH! I love!

A little more angst than I expected, but it added to the story if anything. Really enjoyable read.

Wow this book was an adventure!! I had no idea what I was about and the events that happened seemed to just get crazier and crazier! But it was awesome. I loved it. It was super fun! Monty is hilarious, I absolutely loved his character. I loved his relationship with Percy and how all of that unfolded. It was such a perfect combination of adventure, humour, romance and also serious topics like being gay in the 1700s, epilepsy and abuse. I absolutely loved it and would 100% recommend!
