I think the thing I enjoy about these series is the guarantee of a Happily Ever After (or a HEA for those that speak romance like me!). Though the mainstream historical romance reader may find such titles a bit too scandalous, I think that Sebastian’s writing is sure to win anyone over as she is an expert in writing characters that anyone will want to root for, regardless of who those characters may be. The marketing and cover promo align more with mainstream historical romances and despite that, I enjoyed the fact that the main character, Robin, was non-binary (though such language was never outright said, as the term is definitely more modern than when the novel takes place). One title from Sebastian’s latest series that I recommend is Unmasked by the Marquess. Of course, there will always be skeptics who think that such series are far too frivolous or historically inaccurate, but any queer person will tell you that LGBTQ+ people have existed for centuries, it is merely the labels that are now more modern.
In the past, I read her Seducing the Sedgewicks series which are all gay historical romances. One of my favourite authors is Cat Sebastian. Over the last few months however, I found myself binge-reading more than one series and I’ve quickly caught up on some major backlist books for a few authors. Now, I can’t say that I’ve never read the genre (any self-proclaimed romance nerd has read at least one!) but I always read one or two a year at most. Lately though, I have found myself more and more into historical romance.
If you’ve read any of my previous posts then you know that my main reading expertise is graphic novels, contemporary romance or anything to do with reality TV. *all links will take you to the VPL catalogue where you can check out these books for yourself!
