A shooting party at the Earl of Witton's remote country house is a high treat for champion shot Patricia Mertonuntil unexpected guests turn the social atmosphere dangerously sour. That's not Pat's biggest problem. She's visiting her old friend, the Earl's heir Jimmy Yoxallbut she wants to spend a lot more time with Jimmy's fiance. The irrepressible Miss Fenella Carruth, with her laughing eyes and lush curves, is the most glorious woman Pat's ever met, and it quickly becomes impossible to remember why she needs to stay at arm's length. But while the women's attraction grows, the tensions at Rodington Court get worse. Affairs, secrets, betrayals, and blackmail come to light. And when a body is discovered with a knife between the shoulderblades, it's going to take Pat and Fen's combined talents to prevent the murderer destroying all their lives.

I‘m still firmly in grumpy bastard mode, alas. I keep drifting away from books I should like and I can‘t seem to concentrate on TV. Blah.

Despite this, I‘ve settled in with PROPER ENGLISH and I‘m kinda hoping a plan for tonight either falls through or takes 30 minutes tops so I can binge read the last 33%.

Also, this is ANOTHER book without the cover inside the file. Dammit, book formatters.

@24in48 #StayHome24in48
I'm listening to (and very much enjoying) my #BookClub read at the moment! And here's my physical #TBR along with my #Readathon provisions! I only have a couple hours on the clock so far, but I've got the "stay home" part of the endeavor down pat! And I see some #AudiobookAndClean in my near future! How are my fellow 'thoners getting along?

CareBear Dark chocolate Oreos?! How have I been missing this??? 4y
KatieDid927 @CareBear I second this. 4y

the.bookish.valkyrie @Paperback.princess19 It's a LGBTQ+ graphic novel series by a British YA author. It follows two high school boys in England who meet, become friends and fall in love. It's super sweet and cute and makes me cry, but in a good way! 4y

Nessavamusic @Cinfhen though not a perfect book, I did enjoy it. Sort of CIA meets Madmen 4y
Cinfhen That sounds like a pretty satisfying mashup 😊 4y

This was a lovely little romance/mystery. It was my first K.J. Charles book and I definitely want to continue reading this series. #lgbt+read #romantsy

Some of these I probably already pictured when I bought some with Christmas money, but my #1 wish this year was to get physical copies of K.J. Charles' books. My wife has obliged!

Pictured also: Librarian Hedgehog, who is deliberating splitting by secondary genre or keeping them altogether in my romance section. Sshh... He's thinking.

Mild pick. Loved the character interactions, and especially the on-page depiction of female support systems. Plot/romance is set at a cracking pace that was just too fast for me (I like me my slow burns), but this book was only a couple hundred pages so nobody had the chance to slow down.

Probably not a book I'll reread, but definitely an author I'll read again.

No no no, bad heroine! Of course you eavesdrop on the blackmail conversation!

esurient I think I saw a review that mentioned Haworth gets murdered, and let me tell you that scene cannot take place soon enough. 5y

Another fun read by Charles! (Today is clearly a finish-my-books day.)
