Probably he had the honest man’s instinctive distaste for subverting the course of justice. That was a luxury Leo never had. If only honest men knew how many lives had been saved with a bit of criminal conspiracy, they’d think it one of the cardinal virtues. ― Cat Sebastian, Hither, Page Leo Page and James Sommers end up in the same small English village in the years following WWII. James is a physician and he returned to the small village where he lived with his […]

He was handsome, Ben supposed, if you liked angry men.

It Takes Two to Tumble (Seducing the Sedgwicks, #1) by Cat Sebastian

This was some unholy combination of desire and friendship and something else, because apparently when you took workaday lust and combined it with affection and threw in garden-variety honesty, you got something new and totally different.” ― Cat Sebastian, It Takes Two to Tumble At the start of the novel, Captain Phillip Dacre returned home from a two year voyage with the royal navy. His dutiful wife, Caroline, passed away while he was at sea, and he braced himself to face three children he barely […]

“There is something inexplicably masculine about expecting to be believed.”

The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes (London Highwaymen #2) by Cat Sebastian

by Leave a Comment

This book is the second and final in the Highwaymen series and the fact that there isn’t a London Highwaymen #3 (and 4 and 5 and 6 and…) is a crushing blow. I loooove this world and these characters and would easily read a dozen more that showed additional POVs of the action we followed in the first installment, or expansions of other minor characters. Sebastian’s writing is sharp and fun, filling me with smirks, and the story is utterly charming, not to mention a […]

Sometimes you want to look at a guy and say: Well, he’s f***ed, but he’s trying.

Eddie has to be careful, otherwise he’s going to open his mouth and give this man five paragraphs of lunacy, starting with “You’re pretty” and ending with “Are you always this bad at your job?” with maybe some “Can I touch your suit?” thrown in there to maximize the horror. ― Cat Sebastian, You Should Be So Lucky It’s not just the burden of continually lying, it’s keeping your existence a secret. When the world has decided that people are supposed to be a certain […]

After a lifetime of throwing away love and affection, maybe he had a surplus, and Caleb was welcome to it.

Peter Cabot Gets Lost There had been that moment when Peter touched Caleb’s neck before lunch, but Caleb was ninety percent sure that was an accident and that Peter had needed to have about fifteen existential crises about it. Caleb didn’t have the energy to be anyone’s existential crisis. ― Cat Sebastian, Peter Cabot Gets Lost Peter caught himself staring at Caleb even more than usual, as if memorizing the precise upward tilt of his nose or the degree to which his freckles had multiplied […]

You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian

Lucky Bounce by Cait Nary

A couple of weeks ago, I was on my way to see Cat Sebastian. (Okay, I was heading to Unbound Book Festival to speak on a panel, but a great deal of my excitement was the ability to spend a little bit of time with Cat, who I had met before, and who I know to be a delightful person. Also, she was one of two people I would know at this thing, and I intended to latch on in the most awkward way possible.) […]
