2/5. M/M historical. Because I'm mean, I always think of Cat Sebastian as K.J. Charles but only half as good. This is particularly on display here as this book contains a plot device that Charles also uses (the pseudonymously published scandalous novel) and in Charles hands it is charming and here it is a dumb device to get the couple to fight when, for real, they have way more interesting things to fight about. Like the fact that one of them is insufferable. I mean, I am also an inveterate fixer of other people's problems, so when I say this guy needs to lay the fuck off oh my God, believe me that he is unbearable.
