“Consequences are literally the reason not to do things. That’s what they’re for.”

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles

February 3, 2024 by Malin Leave a Comment

Gareth Inglis was abandoned by his father when he was about six years old, sent to live with his uncle, who clearly didn’t much care for him. Now he works as a clerk in his uncle’s company but dislikes his job. When his father suddenly dies, Gareth becomes a baronet and inherits a home in Romney Marsh, a remote area on the coast. There he discovers that he has a half-sister whom he’d never previously heard of (who’d also never heard of him) and that […]

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 3 Books 15/30 I feel like this is one of those books I will re-read and then instantly bump up to five stars, but for now I’m leaving it at 4.5 rounded down because those are just my feelings right now. Despite the subject matter (smuggling! hiding things in swamps! thievery! treason! murder! leaving people to drown! worse things I don’t feel comfortable putting an exclamation mark after!), the relationship between our two main characters, Sir Gareth Inglis and […]

Sometimes I’ll get a book that I know I’m going to like a lot and I’m reluctant to read it because then it will have been read. I got my e-arc quite some time ago and was resistant to reading it for weeks. And then I finally opened it yesterday and read with brief breaks for sleep and food. I knew I would love it, I’m so glad I finally read it, and now I’m jealous of everyone who gets to read it for the […]
