I'm going to have to come back to edit this later, because all I can say is HOLY HELL THAT WAS GOOD.
My one *minor* complaint is sometimes the writing style is choppy. The author kind of jumps from major scene to major scene. It took me a minute to catch on to it, and it was easier reading than listening (I did a mix of both)

I was just not enjoying the writing style. I read it before and thought it was great, but I'm not enjoying the re-read as much

Maaaan if I didn't know for a fact that this book would have an HEA I would have been FREAKING OUT at the beginning. Luckily it is a ROMANCE. It was so good.

Since it's four different authors, some of the writing styles weren't quite to my taste, but all the stories were short and sweet and had me kicking my heels!

Listen, I didn't know I needed a gay swashbuckling mystery thriller regency romance, but apparently I needed a gay swashbuckling mystery thriller regency romance. So if you too need a gay swashbuckling mystery thriller regency romance, BOY is this the book for you. I finished it in a day (half audiobook, half ebook)
