The Queer Principles of Kit Webb

Sebastian hasn't been a hit with me but I'm a sucker for M/M historical romance so I was still excited to read this one, especially with its cute cover (rather than the usual horrible photoshop Fabio-esque covers on most M/M romance). However, I was again disappointed.
I didn't really get any chemistry between the two leads - it plays on the enemies to lovers trope but their eventual fondness for each other doesn't read organic and the eventual sex scene seemed forced, like the author threw it in as an afterthought to appease her audience. Especially the fact that it ends on a bit of a sour note (not a euphemism) and is then never really mentioned again.
There was also a lot of buildup in the highway robbery/revenge plot that went out on a super anticlimactic ending then a cliffhanger. There should have been a lot more focus on the development of that instead of all the coffeeshop scenes. It didn't feel believable or historically accurate at all.

This was a fast, sometimes cute read but overall unmemorable. The second book in the series is also going to focus on the M/F relationship that was barely a background blip in this story, so it seems pointless to continue with the series. If this is your first foray into M/M and/or historical romance, there are better places to start.
