The Queer Principles of Kit Webb

 The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian (2021, 352 pages)

Queer romance, 18th century England, and a criminal element led me to pick up this book and it delivered.

Kit Webb mostly gave up his life of Robin Hood-esque crime after an injury and opened up a coffee shop in London. He's a little grumpy, but is happy with his new life.

Percy suspects his days as a lord are coming to an end, if a certain secret about his lord father are to be publicized. All Percy wants from him now is a book and enough money to care for himself and his childhood bestie (who is also his father's new young bride), Marian.

Neither Percy nor Marian are prepared to take this on,  so they reach out of Kit for help. Kit is reluctant to help the royal family that he despises, but finds this heist might be just what he needs.

Great queer romance with both comedy and drama bits. Wasn't too predictable and has funny characters that I genuinely want to read more about.

The ending of this book continues almost flawlessly into the sequel, The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes which is another queer romance but with a different couple (whom you meet in this book, but this is a continuation/beginning of their story!).

★★★★☆
