Now if we could just get Avon to publish more (or any?) Regencies written by women of color, the world would be a better place.I won’t go into the details about the book, I’m sure other reviewers will do a better job than I could, just please read it. It will stand out as memorable, rather than fading into the woodwork of typical Regencies read and forgotten. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Look past the cover... *by L***F on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019* Ah, this cover does so much for the book but mostly as a disservice. Yep, it gets the point across that this is a historical read with an f/f relationship...But, I think it also may scare people away that aren't looking for a completely fluffy, harlequin, or overly dramatic romance for their read. Basically, it sells the quality of the story short because this is, in fact, a very high quality story with superb writing. Don't pass it up!Where does the title come from? The romance is between an astronomer's apprentice, Lucy, and the widow of a scientist, Catherine. Astronomy plays a big part in the tale...and to tell you more is a spoiler.What I really liked about the read was that we get the budding romance and lead up to the relationship but most of the book takes place AFTER the couple gets together and we see how they navigate some of the pitfalls of the past. It also reads as a feminist text, where we see our young scientist try to make her way into the male dominated scientific community and how the female characters are automatically discounted despite their talents and intelligence in just about every realm of society. How they react is compelling.The unfolding romance is believable and the narrative includes a few steamy scenes with many fade to black scenes interspersed.In general, the writing of the characters was great, dialogue was excellent, and the overall story was interesting and fun to follow. So many passages were beautifully written, I highlighted numerous ones.Unless I know it's a sure thing, I'm hesitant to dip my toe into the historical genre when it's an f/f romance because so much can go wrong. Without spoiling things, do know this is a happy, more positive story and we get a satisfying ending.Where the story fell down some was towards the ending. There's a conflict created that easily can be cleared up by a conversation...but at least the author didn't make us agonize for more than a day or two in the couple's world. And the ending wrapped up a little too simply and easily.But, overall, this was a really good and satisfying read. Highly recommend. 4.4 stars.P.S. Back to the cover. It's also misleading in another way. The leads have a ten year age gap and one of them, the one on the right, is actually curvy and a little plump while I took the younger to be more plain in looks. One of the leads is also bisexual. Those types of thing makes books and characters more interesting to me but I guess it's not as appealing on a cover. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE LOVE LOVE *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2019* Stars: 5 StarsFormat: DigitalThe ARC of this book made the rounds among my friends who ended up singing their praises of it, so between that and the synopsis, I preordered this months ago. I may have stayed up until midnight waiting for it to drop and started reading it right away. Not a whole lot of sleep happened. I LOVED this book.Trigger Warning: there is Domestic Abuse but not shown in detail on the page. I might have missed if it was physical but it was definitely psychological. The abuser is dead and gone when we are reading, but you do see the after effects of the years of being subjected to it.Thoughts:- OMG science AND art! Lucy is an Astronomer and loves it, she has an obvious love of stars and math and the natural sciences and Countess Moth is a wonderfully skilled embroiderer- Speaking of Countess Moth, I LOVED her character. She really grew during the story and I found her just as interesting and awesome as the badass astronomer Lucy- A wlw Historical Romance, not nearly enough of these out there- I wanted to strangle Lucy’s brother- I also wanted to strangle Pris- Also most of the Polite Science Guild- Looking back, it’s very good I was not a character in this or it would be a very different story- Has interesting discussions about art verses science and what is considered art and who are artists- The last hurtle made me a little grrr and I thought it would have lasted longer but it didn’t go the way I thought it would and that was a delight- I thought Lucy was a perfect match for Catherine. She was younger than Catherine but older in some ways and they complimented each other well- The cover art is SO PRETTY (I maaaaay have preordered the print version already so I can have a physical copy of it *grabby hands*)Overall, I deeply LOVED this book. I don’t miss any of the sleep lost reading this all night and am holding myself back from rereading it RIGHT NOW (I promised myself I could once the print edition comes out.) Because of this book, I am actually moving up more historical wlw romances up my TBR.
