When shy and bookish Gavin Hartford is sent to London, he is prepared to be very bored and very lonely. But after he accidentally forms an acquaintance with dashing man-about-town Charles Kentworthy, his life is turned completely upside-down. Mr. Kentworthy seems determined to educate Gavin on how to enjoy city life. As Gavin opens up to Mr. Kentworthy-discussing poetry and magic, confessing his fears about marriage, and expanding his social circle to shocking proportions-he finds himself far outside his comfort zone. Will he have the courage to face his own growing feelings for his new friend? This epistolary Regency romance is the first in a historical fantasy series, Meddle & Mend.
I took a break midway through my worldbuilding-forward dark fantasy and switched to this character-driven historical fantasy set in a queernorm version of Regency England. It‘s an absolute delight as of 24%. I‘m happy with my life choices.
