2025 book 57

 TJ Alexander's A Gentleman's Gentleman

Aaaahhhh this was so sweet and good!!!! It's about a young Earl who needs to hire a valet so he can go to London for the season to find a wife or he loses his Earl-dom/inheritance, but he's super not interested in a wife, because he's gay, and is equally uninterested in having a valet, because he's trans. But soon the handsome and capable valet is on board and it's a really nice slow-burn romance. There are occasionally silly scenes (the trellis scene in particular really challenged my suspension of disbelief as to how humans act) but on the whole this was a delight with really great characters. Fingers crossed for a sequel featuring Miss Montrose. A/A-.
