The King's Courage by Charlie Cochet
3.0
I've been reading this series for the few years (I read the first one, "Mending Noel," in 2014). I all of them I've read around Christmas time, which makes sense of course since they are holiday novellas. I enjoy them. This is another pleasant story in a series of pleasant romances.
"The King's Courage" is a sort of December/May romance, but when the characters are more or less immortal (they can be killed, but they won't die of old age), age is sort of... less of an issue I guess. And there are some funny moments between one of the main characters and his son who is about the same age as the other main character. This is one of those stories with a whole lot of gay men without any decent female characters and, at least that I can remember, no lesbians to speak of which always annoys me a little. Yeah, I know it's a gay romance but how many gay men do you know that don't know any lesbians or bisexual/pan ladies? Because I don't know any (that's because they know me, I guess, but still). But I still enjoy the stories overall.
Look, I doubt this is going to win any literary awards but if you just want something to make you smile and enjoy a few steamy moments--this is a good choice.
