The Queer Principles of Kit Webb: A Novel (London Highwaymen, 1)

"The Queer Principles of Kit Webb kept me up all night! I simply couldn’t put it down."— Tessa Dare, New York Times bestselling author

“Sharp, smart, and oh-so-swoony, The Queer Principles of Kit Webb reminds me that Cat Sebastian is an author at the absolute top of her game.”— Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author

Named one of Goodreads "Readers' Top 100 Romances of 2020-2022"

Critically acclaimed author Cat Sebastian pens a stunning historical romance about a reluctantly reformed highwayman and the aristocrat who threatens to steal his heart.

Kit Webb has left his stand-and-deliver days behind him. But dreary days at his coffee shop have begun to make him pine for the heady rush of thievery. When a handsome yet arrogant aristocrat storms into his shop, Kit quickly realizes he may be unable to deny whatever this highborn man desires.

In order to save himself and a beloved friend, Percy, Lord Holland must go against every gentlemanly behavior he holds dear to gain what he needs most: a book that once belonged to his mother, a book his father never lets out of his sight and could be Percy’s savior. More comfortable in silk-filled ballrooms than coffee shops frequented by criminals, his attempts to hire the roughly hewn highwayman, formerly known as Gladhand Jack, proves equal parts frustrating and electrifying.

Kit refuses to participate in the robbery but agrees to teach Percy how to do the deed. Percy knows he has little choice but to submit and as the lessons in thievery begin, he discovers thievery isn’t the only crime he’s desperate to commit with Kit. 

But when their careful plan goes dangerously wrong and shocking revelations threaten to tear them apart, can these stolen hearts overcome the impediments in their path?

I really enjoyed this! I only found out about it because I had seen the sequel in a book store, and then I only read it because it fulfilled my "Q" prompt for a challenge where I was trying to read books with titles for every letter of the alphabet. The plot is pretty interesting, with a few twists, and the romance actually feels very healthy and natural. The tension comes from external factors rather than miscommunication, the two male leads actually communicate very well and have a good understanding of each other. It was quite refreshing! The side characters are also charming and have clear personalities. If you're looking for a mlm historical romance, I highly recommend this one. I'll definitely be reading the sequel.

Super cute read
It is a bit of a slow burn with amazing pay off. Great story with plenty of swoons.
