From the author of Boyfriend Material comes the absurdist adventure of two friends determined to avoid marriage to unsuitable people as they race through Regency England to marry each other instead.Sir Horley Comewithers isn't particularly interested in getting married, especially when his match is a perfectly respectable young woman. Sir Horley is, after all, extravagantly gay. But he's resigned to a fate there's no point resisting--until a dear friend does it for him.Arabella Tarleton has no interest in romance, but even she can see that Sir Horley's nuptials are destined to end in a lifetime of misery. Well, not on her watch. And what are friends for, if not abducting you on the night before your wedding in an overdramatic attempt to save you from a terrible mistake?Their journey to Gretna Green is a hodgepodge of colorful run-ins and near misses with questionable innkeepers, amateur highwaymen, overattentive writers, and scorned fiances. Then again a bumpy road is better than an unhappy destination.But when it comes to marriage, Belle and Sir Horley are about to discover that it's not what you do or how you do it but the people who you choose to do it with that matter most.

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.

willaful I DNf'd the second one but now I think I'll give this one a try. 2w
sebrittainclark @willaful This one ended up being my favorite book in the series by far. 2w
