Band Sinister by KJ Charles
medium-paced
3.0
still searching for a KJ Charles' book as good as Think of England ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just like in Unfit to Print, the characters' interactions here were borderline didactic. while im immensely grateful to the author for not using miscommunication as a plot device and for making the protagonists act like the adults they are, i wasn't particularly obsessed with their romance and the sex scenes were definitely lacking (i was took out of the story every time Phillip called Guy a virgin). vocatives and "dick" alternatives aside, considering the book's premise falls more or less under the enemies-to-lovers category and the couple is forced into an and-there-was-only-one-country-house type of situation, there should have been more tension going on. im not giving up tho. i appreciate how KJ Charles manages to establish a whole story in such small amounts of pages and getting quickly to the point. besides, i find her uptight leads quite relatable, which makes me think if i were a book character most readers would find me annoying Lol
