An Unseen Attraction by KJ Charles

3/5. M/M historical romance. A boarding house keeper and one of his lodgers, an animal preserver, become involved with each other and a scandal over an inheritance.
Not my favorite Charles, but the quality of her work is such that it’s worth finishing a romance that is not to my taste. And that’s not something I can say of most published M/M authors. The two main characters are just so specific and particular – one is not neurotypical and the other is an artist of a truly unusual sort. They’re both excellent weirdos, basically, and their weirdnesses somehow end up working. They have a nice, mostly domestic dynamic with a streak of powerplay with the emphasis on the play. The sort of romance that made me smile in passing but that didn’t grab me by the limbic system.
