This was honestly such a fun little book! If you've ever followed any of the #historicalhotties on social media, you'll love it.

The author chose all sorts of handsome Victorian men and portrayed them in fun dating app style ways. While we may not know much about some of these gentlemen, we now know which ones would have been your ride or die, would have walked into the sunset with you, or would have cooked you a five course meal - all thanks to the clever (and saucy) commentary from the author.

The men come from a range of countries and ethnicities, which was very welcome. I'll admit I was expecting them all to be dead white guys. And there are quite a few for whom we actually know a little about them. You learn about some accomplishments that literally changed the world and mourn some who died far too young.

Funny, sweet and surprisingly poignant.

Loved this!

This is a fun, beautiful book of photography! I definitely recommend it - especially for ladies and laddies who love beards!

Aaron Radford-Wattley's Hot Victorians is such a fun little book. I enjoy how each person has a description that is written with humor. I can't wait until the next girl's night when I am definitely going to make my friends play hot or not with this book. Hot Victorians is for anyone who appreciates old photography, past standards of beauty, and just realizing the past isn't as serious as we want to believe. I highly recommend.

This book was such a breath of fresh air! The men were hot, the descriptions so funny and witty, and the whole book incredibly educational. I had the BEST time reading this and gazing at the hotties, which I was sadly born in the wrong time frame to meet. I don't know how we haven't had a book like this before, I will need another one pronto (I'm looking at you Aaron), and I'd be ok with a different time frame even!

Thank you to Net Galley and Mobius Books for an e-ARC.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.
Charming beautiful photos of handsome men from days gone by. I especially liked the descriptive text that gave info about each fellow.

Proof that handsome men are handsome men no matter the era. Whimsical, a fast read with a humorous format.
Thoroughly enjoyable!
