N.W.Moors | Apr 23, 2023 |   Book #2 in the Something Fantastic series. LGBTQ+ historical romance. NB/NB. Best read as part of the series in order. Characters and backstory from the first book play heavily in this story. Peggy Delancey is in love with Arabella Tarleton and has a hard time saying no to any of her requests. So Peggy travels to London to help Arabella catch the eye of celebrated soprano, Orfeo. But Orfeo and Peggy have eyes only for each other as they begin a relationship neither expected. While it’s set in historical times, the author is clear in the introduction that the language is modern and that liberties are taken in the settings. Orfeo is a “kept” artist of the times and they must sing and consort for their living. Peggy’s eyes are opened to the privileged life she’s led. It’s a romance. It’s a statement of the times for the artist. It’s a bit erotica for the couples from the series and a few others. It’s a declaration of acceptance demanded by the author for the reader. It’s a romp of indulgence for the characters though they must overcome a bit of strife first to get there. Again, it’s a romance so a guaranteed happily ever after. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. (  ) Madison_Fairbanks | Apr 18, 2023 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Peggy Delancey's not at all ready to move on from her former flame, Arabella Tarleton. But Belle has her own plans for a love match, and she needs Peggy's help to make those plans a reality. Still hung up on her feelings and unable to deny Belle what she wants, Peggy reluctantly agrees to help her woo the famous and flamboyant opera singer Orfeo. She certainly doesn't expect to find common ground with a celebrated soprano, but when Peggy and Orfeo meet, a whole new flame is ignited that she can't ignore. Peggy finds an immediate kinship with Orfeo, a castrato who's just as nonconforming as she is--and just as affected by their instant connection. They've never been able to find their place in the world, but as the pair walks the line between friendship, flirtation, and something more, they may just find their place with each other.

My one caveat is that I wish I had gotten more of Orfeo's POV. It would have helped me to understand his actions at the end of the book. This is a great book, very funny at times, and I think steamier than Hall's other books, which felt appropriate for the story. The other characters, both old and new, are wonderful and add a lot to the story, though I join my voice to other reviewers who want Sir Horley to get his own book. (
