Breeze Spells and Bridegrooms is a thoroughly entertaining, delightfully sweet M/M historical Regency fantasy romance.
Roger Barnes is human, Wyndham Wrenwhistle is fae. They hate each other (but Roger thinks Wyn is pretty) and are forced to work together on Roger’s proposal to the Council for Fae and Human Magical Relations to better society for folks like him who have magical aptitude in other ways than what is societally accepted.
Their relationship is one of my favorites in a romance. The range of emotional depth and vulnerability, the love and lust, the friendship and the romance. Just truly in awe of the range shown. And how they grew together.
I also loved the demisexual rep (Roger) and autistic rep (Wyn) so much. I also got demiromantic/gray-romantic vibes from Wyn as well.
The magic world building is fascinating and I am so eager to see more in future books in this joint universe of S.O. Callahan and Sarah Wallace.
The Bridgerton vibes are perfection, with interspersed gossip columns that had me falling in love with the half fae, half human Torquil. I so hope they get their own romance in a future book!
If you like M/M romances, Regency setting and Bridgerton vibes, human and fae magic, slow slow slow burns, fake engagement/arranged marriage, please read this.
Thank you to Sarah Wallace and S.O. Callahan for an e-ARC of this book!
