This was a cute read. I enjoyed this one and had a fun time reading it but I did feel that the plot and character relationship fell a little flat. I would have like some sort of conclusion to what happened with Myrian. There was so much plot going on that I think it took away from the romance but overall I enjoyed my time with it 🙂

I just couldn't get into this one. I enjoy a lot of Sebastian's books, but this one is one of my least favorites. Totally on me--I just wasn't connecting with the setting or the characters.

"The Queer Principles of Kit Webb" is a fun, queer historical fantasy adventure that fans of Mackenzi Lee will thoroughly enjoy as a romp into adult historical fantasy.

Cat Sebastian's queer historicals are unmatched. "The Queer Principles of Kit Webb" jumps in fast. It took some time to get enough context to feel like I was in the story, but it is very readable and sets a strong pace. The story is overflowing with personality and tension, and the anticipation built up around secrets had me hooked.

I also loved the depth of feeling and realism surrounding the experiences of an everyday historical character. It is incredibly refreshing to read about someone who isn't living a wealthy and high-status life with no understanding or appreciation of why they are in that position. Striking and very well done.

I immediately went looking for the next book in this series!

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an eARC for review.

Charming, wonderful characters and entertaining dialogue. Holding up the fantastic Cat Sebastian tradition

Fun concept. Good writing. Engaging characters. Wonderful representation. Love the cover art, very appealing and different from Sebastain's other historical fiction novels. Purchased for all of our libraries.

Love love love love!

Thanks to NetGalley / Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for a review.

This was the first queer duke-on-duke romance I’ve read, and it contained well-balanced action, emotion, intrigue and romance in a historical setting. Kit, disabled, has a shady past and has abandoned his life of crime to run a coffee shop. Aristocrat Percy seeks Kit for hire to recover his mother’s book. A changed man, Kit won’t participate in the crime, but WILL give lessons to ensure Percy’s success. Time spent in proximity leads to friendship and then more.

Although in the past he has only been with women, Percy is compelling, and Kit doesn’t question the attraction, which might be out of place for a Georgian-era setting. I am not a fan of mystery in general, and did find myself skimming a bit through the slow burn.

It took me almost two years to sit down and write a review because I just didn’t love it in the way I loved Red, White and Royal Blue, which also pairs an aristocrat and commoner, and a person who mostly dated women with someone who exclusively dates men.

I received a free advance reader’s review copy of #TheQueerPrinciplesOfKitWebb from #NetGalley.

I’ve loved Cat Sebastian’s books in the past and this sounded like it would be a delightful read, but unfortunately I was not able to click with this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I just want to start by saying that I absolutely LOVED this book! This was the first book that I have read by this author, and I will continue to read every book that she publishes.

The romance was absolutely beautiful, and I found myself rooting for both Kit and Percy throughout the entire book. I know that there are going to be other books set in the same world with other characters, but I hope that we will still be able to visit Kit and Percy because I absolutely would love to read more of their story!

This book was an amazing adventure and I highly recommend it.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a free advanced copy of this book to read and review.

RATING: 3/5 STARS

Cat Sebastian's books are hit or miss for me, and this one was just okay. The plot wasn't as strong as I would have liked and the romance didn't hit me in the feels. Higher hopes for the author's next one!

I've learned that comedic historical period romances aren't necessarily my thing, because I always end up leaving a 3 star rating. I think it's just because I want to find one that stands out to me and shakes me and makes me fall in love with it that I keep trying; but alas, I have yet to find one that receives a 5-star rating from me.

Kit and Percy aren't that bad of characters; I actually enjoyed their love story and both of their backstories. I just wasn't AS captivated as I wanted to be. Another thing is that I think the ending was kind of lackluster and needed a bit more OOMPH to give me what I wanted.

If you're going into this only for the banter and the spicy scenes, I don't think you'll be disappointed in the slightest! It just left me wanting more to have happened. Overall would still recommend if period pieces and spice/comedy over plot is what you're into!

Cat Sebastian is one of my favorite queer writers and I feel like she gets what it feels like to slowly but also somehow suddenly fall in love with someone. Kit and Percy are two people who shouldn't work, but good lord they do.
What I really liked was how some of the happenings in this book also happened in Marian's book but from her and Rob's perspective. it was such a fun idea and worked beautifully. You got to see the same event from four angles.

I loved the premise of this plot and ADORE Cat Sebastian's writing style. But this one, I could not get into. It's been about a year, and I am going to call it as a book I probably won't get around to reading. If I do, I will update this review!

ADORABLE. SIMPLY ADORABLE. This is my first foray into the world of Cat Sebastian and it won't be my last. Kit is a former thief who lost his family and is partly disabled, but most importantly, he is bored as hell. He's running a coffee shop and it just...so...over it. In walks Percy, who has a heist in mind. Kit is surprised when he finds himself attracted to Percy. This is important for representation because Kit had only ever been with women, but finds himself attracted to Percy the person, so we're looking at demisexual/pansexual, which I love. It's a slow burn but a lot of fun!

The hot beverages aren't the only steamy things in this book. Love the details of the character descriptions and the world building, looking forward to the next book in the series.

Overall this wasn't the worst book I've read, but it just missed the mark for me. I felt like the story dragged in some areas. The characters' backstories were displayed beautifully, but I just didn't love their overall relationship--for me, it was lacking in-depth.

It may have just not been my cup of tea, but the storyline/plot/mystery aspect seemed to just...have a lot going on. I really just didn't connect with the story, so it may be for other readers! I just didn't care for it. However I see that the author has other works so I may try to find one that I'm better suited for!

I went into this book knowing very little about it. I wasn't expecting to be absolutely blown away by it! It has become one of my top 5 favorite books and is my favorite I've read this year. I've been recommending it to everyone lately and will likely continue to do so for a long time!

Kit has retired from his time as a highway robber after getting shot and thrown into prison. Now he runs a coffeehouse and stays out of trouble. Mostly. Percy is rich and wants to steal a book from his father, who is evil and possibly destroyed Kit's family and entire life. Of course that means Percy wants Kit's help to do it. When that turns into training Percy into becoming a robber himself, sparks fly and two men of very different social classes begin to see each other as equals.

I wanted to connect with this book so badly, and I just couldn't. I don't know if it's the historical period it's set in and all the talk of powdered wigs and fake moles, but I couldn't get behind the romance, the relationships, or really the heist at all. It started off feeling a bit like shrinkyclinks historical AU fan fiction (if you know, you know). Even still, I couldn't really get into the flouncy Percy or feel like Kit was really a grump. The sexy parts didn't feel all that sexy. Nothing about this really clicked with me, which is very disappointing.
