Welcome to Litsy!

I appreciate what the author's doing here, but I just couldn't handle all the endless discussions.

I would never have guessed that a platonic relationship between an overtly gay man and an aromatic, pansexual woman could provide the basis for a totally satisfying regency romance. But this is Alexis Hall, so I should have known. It‘s a somewhat chaotic story, full of humour, smut, kink, queerness, wisdom & a lot of heart. I‘ve enjoyed all 3 “Something Something” books but this is my favourite. A great beach read.

Was it historically accurate? Not entirely.
Was it fun to read and listen to? Yes!! Yes!!
Would I recommend it to anyone who likes queer #HistoricalRomance #RomCom? Of course!

In order to solve her problems, Belle decides to kidnap her friend & elope w/ him on the eve of his wedding. Remarkably, after creating a lot of new problems, it actually works.

This was fucking ridiculous & I loved it. W/ an aromantic lead & a focus on queer platonic relationships, this was everything I didn‘t know I wanted. Millennial humor, in a smutty regency novel, & I would read 50,000 more words about Belle & Rufus‘s domesticity.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

5/5

Sir Horley is a gay man who feels that he must marry to satisfy his family, even if it is a miserable match, but on the eve of his wedding Arabella Tarleton, his aromantic friend, convinces him to elope with her instead. I loved the platonic relationship between Sir Horley and Belle. It was unlike any other romance novel I've read, and I would have happily read so much more about them building a life together that suits them both.
