A Gentleman Never Keeps Score<\/a><\/em> (2018) Cat Sebastian<\/a> (Seducing the Sedgwicks)<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>Set in London in 1817<\/p>\n

This is a reread, but one of a different type. I did a group read with several people on the the reddit r\/romancebooks, where we read five chapters then chatted about all our thoughts.<\/p>\n

As may be blindingly obvious to anyone who has read this blog for more than one week, I read a lot, so I read fast<\/em>. It’s nothing something I do on purpose, it’s just something I’ve always done. However, the more the story draws me in, the faster I read. <\/p>\n

So even though I’d read this twice before, a slow reading meant I picked up details I’d missed the previous two times.<\/p>\n

For example, as different as Harley and Sam are (and they are very different) in important ways, they are so similar.<\/p>\n

When Hartley thought of the things he had done and the dubious choices he had made, all to give his brothers a chance at having the safe, secure life of gentlemen, and what a mess they had all made of it, he could scream.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHave you eaten?\u201d Sam asked, already reaching under the bar for a dish. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot since yesterday.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sam had put aside a slice of pork pie for his own supper, but he could have some bread and butter later on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In short, it was a lovely reread, and I appreciated the story more for a slow reading. But it was actually really hard for me to do a slow read, and I don’t know if I could do it without a group read to slow me down.<\/p>\n
