    REVIEW: Two Rogues Make A Right by Cat Sebastian

    Seducing the Sedgwicks: Two Rogues Make A Right – Cat Sebastian

    Will Sedgwick can’t believe that after months of searching for his oldest friend, Martin Easterbrook is found hiding in an attic like a gothic nightmare. Intent on nursing Martin back to health, Will kindly kidnaps him and takes him to the countryside to recover, well away from the world.

    Martin doesn’t much care where he is or even how he got there. He’s much more concerned that the man he’s loved his entire life is currently waiting on him hand and foot, feeding him soup and making him tea. Martin knows he’s a lost cause, one he doesn’t want Will to waste his life on.

    As a lifetime of love transforms into a tender passion both men always desired but neither expected, can they envision a life free from the restrictions of the past, a life with each other?


    Congratulations to the Seducing The Sedgwicks series for reaching peak fluff-tastic adorableness in the third book, Two Rogues Make A Right!

    It’s for books like this that incoherent squeeing emojis are deployed.

    I mean, that cover is pure ✧♡〜ヾ(◍’౪`◍)ノ゙〜 ✧♡!!!!

    A perfect cover that captures the ✧♡➴✧♡。❣╰(⋈◍>◡<◍)╯❣。✧♡ ➴✧♡!!!!-ness of the story.

    Yeah, foreheads touches ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

    I will try to write a saner review now that I had the squeeing out of the way.

    Two Rogues Make A Right is as sweet and gentle as an idyllic summer. It is a quintessential story of falling for your best friend. As such, there is the fear of losing a life-long friendship if romantic feelings become known. Mutual pining ensues. It is a tale as old as time, but Cat Sebastian was able to spin Will and Martin’s story into something more.

    It was also about Martin coming into his own. His constant attempts to be a better person than his father ever been. His struggle to gain independence and make choices for himself. His determination to be useful in a world where an entry in Debrett’s pretty much guarantees you a lifetime of decorative lounging.

    Martin came across as an almost villainous minor character in the first book, It Takes Two To Tumble. He’s grumpy and seemed to hate everybody. The second book found him in the attic, sick and cold. My sympathies were stirred. In this third installment, Martin turned out to be an utterly endearing tsundere. I really loved the scene where he spontaneously gathered posies on his way home and upon arriving, thrusted them to Will like he’s getting rid of something nasty.

    Will is the kind of guy who’s free with his affections. He’s also “unspeakably loyal” to Martin and Martin knows that. I respected the heck out of Martin for steadfastly refusing to take advantage of Will’s loyalty. Even without the romantic aspect, their friendship were goals. I really loved how they selflessly took care of each other.

    Martin rescuing Will from opium dens at the cost of his health. Will patiently nursing Martin back to health, telling him ridiculous bedtime stories. Them reading to each other! When Will was in the Navy, he got a tattoo on his arm with Martin’s name on it even before there were amorous feelings involved. To Will, Martin is home. Simple as that.

    I want to build Will and Martin a blanket fort and keep the big bad world away from them. These are two precious dorks! Protect at all cost!

    P.S.

    Seducing the Sedgwicks is best experienced by reading the books in order. The series might not be 5-stars across the board like The Turners series, but It Takes Two To Tumble was also a highly enjoyable take on the Sound of Music. Read my review here.

    I DNFed A Gentleman Always Keeps Score. I wasn’t connecting to the story. I will not be posting a review for it.

    What time you coming out?
    We starting losing light.
    I’ll never make it right
    If you don’t want me around,
    I’m so excited for the night,
    All we need’s my bike and your enormous house
    You said someday we might
    When I’m closer to your height
    ‘Til then we’ll knock around and see
    If you’re all I need

    Don’t you see me?
    I, I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you.
    Don’t you need me?
    I, I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you.
    And on this night and in this light,
    I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you.
    Maybe you’ll change your mind
    I think I’m falling, I think I’m falling.

    I’m caught on your coat again.
    You said, “Oh, no, it’s fine.”
    I read between the lines
    And touched your leg again, again.
    I’ll take it one day at a time.
    Soon you will be mine.
    Oh, but I want you now, I want you now
    When the smoke is in your eyes,
    You look so alive.
    Do you fancy sitting down with me?
    Maybe?

    If you’re all I need
    According to your heart,
    My place is not deliberate,
    Feeling of your arms
    I don’t wanna be your friend,
    I wanna kiss your neck

    Don’t you see me?
    I, I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you.
    Don’t you need me?
    I, I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you..
    And on this night and in this light
    I think I’m falling, I’m falling for you.
    Maybe you’ll change your mind.
