Also, found families, I love found families. That part of the plot remains a bit thin, but the romance more than makes up for it. Sam and Hartley meet over a painting Sam’s friend Kate wants destroyed. This continues the story of Ben’s brother Hartley from It Takes Two to Tumble, but it works great as a standalone too. Are you being decent to him? I’ll murder you both if you hurt one another.” She looked so torn about not knowing who to murder that Sam couldn’t stop himself from smiling. “He being decent to you? I’ll murder him if he isn’t.

Not recommended to: those who prefer a lower heat level 2. Recommended to: those who like the grump/cinnamon roll dynamic It was fine, I guess, but didn’t have any of my catnip. The heat level was too high for my liking, but I’m used to ignoring sex scenes by now (I think I read…maybe one romance book that was just right), and it won’t be an issue for most.īut thinking back, I definitely liked it the worst of all three.

I liked their dynamic, and the supporting cast was wonderful as well – from Phillip’s children to Ben’s betrothed, Alice. It features a grumpy dyslexic captain and a total cinnamon roll of a vicar. They’re all fairly soft and low on plot, which suits me, and of course, as any good romance, the character work is fantastic and they read incredibly fast. I don’t like sex scenes as a rule, but I could appreciate that. What I especially like about all of them is how carefully they handle consent and trust and making sure both parties are okay with something before moving forward. I was pretty meh on the first one, but the series got progressively better with each book – A Gentleman Never Keeps Score was super enjoyable, and Two Rogues Make a Right as predicted, a new favourite. In essence, each book of the Sedgwicks series features one of the brothers. The only issue was that it was the last book of a series, but whatever, the other two can’t be bad – and indeed they were not. This one seemed to tick off the whole damn list. It all started when I heard about Two Rogues Make a Right from Sara back in April – I have some extremely specific romance preferences, and when a book satisfies one of them, that’s usually plenty. But screw it, my blog, my rules, and when I find a perfect book, damn right I’m going to yell about it. I know, this is historical romance, not SFF, and that this is supposed to be a SFF blog.
