I was looking for a fun romance to make me smile, and this didn't disappoint. I've enjoyed all of TJ ALEXANDER's romances, so this was one I was so looking forward to reading. A GENTLEMAN'S GENTLEMAN is the trans regency romance that you've been looking for!

Reader beware, this is a slowwww burn romance, but it'll keep you smiling and giggling for the romance, and pining, and all the cute feelings.

This book follows Lord Christopher Eden, who is a trans man, as he endeavors to find a wife (to fulfill his fathers will). However, he's not attracted to women, and he may or may not have some feeling for his handsome new valet James Harding.

There is a huge reveal surrounding Harding that makes this romance even better, but you'll just have to read it to find out (cause I'm not spoiling that 😉)

There are some elements of PTSD and grief that are handled well throughout this story. And also some spice to make up for the slow burn, so make sure to read content warnings.

If you're thinking about this trans regency romance, I'd say give it a read!

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of the eARC, and to Vintage for a copy of the physical ARC! Out March 11th!
