Queen B’s Decree: This was the first gay historical I’ve read. For some reason, it never occurred to me that wearing wigs and beauty marks wouldn’t be 100% heterosexual.
The Queer Principles of Kit Webb was a slow burn. Percy is looking to hire Kit, a retired highwayman, to rob his father, the Duke. Their relationship progresses from strangers to slightly annoyed acquaintances to friends. I loved the discussion of class and socioeconomic status and how it affected both Percy and Kit. It seemed very apropos and relevant to the story progression.
I loved Kit and Percy together. Their connection was hot and sweet, and I loved seeing them care so much for the other.
The pacing seemed a bit off, and I had a hard time getting into the story initially. I grew to love the characters and got invested in the story and I’m glad I picked up this sweet story.
