Title: The Queer Principles of Kit Webb
Author: Cat Sebastian
Genre(s): Romance, Historical, LGBTQ+
Rating: ★★★☆☆
This is a highly enjoyable romance starring Percy, the foppish son of the (clearly evil) Duke of Clare, and Kit, a former highwayman who Percy tries to hire to steal (from the duke, of course) a book that belonged to his late mother. It has a fairly predictable series of events and I found myself identifying who was really who almost as soon as new characters appeared on the page. But despite that, I enjoyed watching Percy open his eyes to the damage the aristocracy can do and make his own choices based on that knowledge, without having a complete personality transplant. Kit was a charming highwayman-turned-coffeeshop-owner and I adored watching the two fall for each other. I wish we’d seen more of their backstory with their closest friends, Marian and Rob — I especially found it hard to like Marian, who was barely there for Percy — but perhaps the sequel will make them more likable or at least relatable characters.
