Rating: 5/5 stars

I am finding that I love love love queer romances so much. Romance and I have been on a journey the last few months, and I'm so happy that I finally figured out where my niche is in this genre. Well I have read many different romances lately, this is the first historical romance that I have loved this deeply.

The story follows to gentleman, Kit and Percy. Kit is a retired thief and Percy is the son of a Duke. Kit was injured on a former job, where he also lost his partner, and has since been running a coffee shop, although he is feeling a little bit stifled by that. Percy needs the help of a criminal to bring down his father. They meet, they flirt, they fall in love, they do criminal things, and they form a baby real and deep connection.

This is a very slow burn type of story. While you know that both characters like each other, it takes a very long time for anything to happen between the two of them. But when it does, oh boy, it was good. I appreciate that Sebastian did not do the trope of a third act break up which happens often in romance novels. Percy and Kit have a fairly honest relationship and communicate with each other.

I really recommend this for anyone who enjoys regency romances, queer love stories with bisexual representation which is super important to me personally, found family, a band of lovable criminals, and genuine laughs.

Highly recommend.
