![]() Anyway, I did mean to have this read before it came out (thank you NetGalley) but as you have seen ample evidence of over the last few posts, I’ve been on a bit of a binge of other stuff and haven’t got to it yet. I’ve also got one of her back catalogue, Proper English, waiting on the tbr pile after my January holiday buying spree. I’ve recommended some of Charles’s novels before – Slippery Creatures (one of her inter world war-set trilogy) was a Book of the Week and I mentioned The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting in a Recommendsday post last year. ![]() ![]() I wanted to give a quick mention today to the new K J Charles The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen which is the first in a new series which the blurb describes as “Poldark meets Bridgerton” where are heroes are Gareth, a new baronet and Joss, his childhood friend and leader of a gang of smugglers. She is assiduous in showing the beats of Joss and Gareths relationship how they learn from one another, realise their problems, and talk them through. ![]() Happy Thursday everyone, and it’s a great week for new books. Charles clearly takes pains to create a sense of time and place in her tale of a baronet and a smuggler finding love in the Kentish marshes of the Regency period. ![]()
