One Night in Hartswood by Emma Denny
5.0
5* Stars
I absolutely ADORED this book. I was hooked from the start and found it ridiculously hard to put down. If I hadn't been told it was a debut from this author, I'd never have guessed.
It's quite unique in that it's set in the 14th century. I can't think of any other M/M romance set in that period. What I loved about the author using that period is that it allowed the world to be simple and easy to fall into. It wasn't one of those overly complicated imaginary worlds that give you a headache from trying to picture everything; in fact, a lot of the book was set outdoors and it worked SO well. Every time I picked it back up, it felt cosy, like a warm hug.
The MCs in this story have so much chemistry - it's something a lot of authors don't get right, and the books end up suffering due to it. But that wasn't an issue here. The chemistry was intense and electric and so perfect. I was swooning through about 80% of the book
