I really wanted to love it because I always want to love #gayromamcebooks but this mmm, wasn't it. Emile is a marquee posing as a servant and in a 💕 📐 with two men. One a problematic douche and the other, a gent who only wants the best for him. Clearly the 2nd guy's the better choice, right? Well, Emile doesn't agree and that's what I hated the most. That ending tho. If the story had been a bit more focused on that, I would have enjoyed it more

There's been some life updates since my last post. The biggest being I moved across the country for the second time. Boy, do I NEVER want to drive a Uhaul ever again.

Anywho, I have the pleasure of having David as a colleague, and his book comes out next month (5/30). I LOVED every page. Victorian Era in a gothic setting, a love triangle, shady counts with secrets AND it's a retelling inspired by Ann Radcliffe. What more could a bookworm want?
