I recently had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook of Fire Spells Between Friends, and highly recommend it for all fans of cozy m/m historical romances.

The book was a delight. Both main characters have heart, and I found myself rooting for them right from the start. The overall tone of the book made me smile for nearly the entire time I listened to it. The relationship is framed around a situation of friends-with-benefits realizing that they’ve quietly and undramatically fallen in love, and then a relatively brief tussle with the societal barriers around making that attachment permanent.

I enjoyed the first book in the series as well (Breeze Spells and Bridegrooms), but found the characters in this sequel more immediately identifiable and sympathetic. I recommend both books, but they can be read separately. Enjoy!

Official Overview:

Whoever wins the heart of the most eligible gentleman in London will need to be an extraordinary catch indeed.

London, 1813—fae and humans alike are abuzz whenever Torquil’s Tribune drops a juicy new tidbit. At the center of the gossip is handsome fae, Emrys Wrenwhistle, heir to his family’s fortune. As speculation over his prospects grows, the search for a suitable spouse begins.

The trouble is, Emrys can’t find anyone who measures up to the person he’s been secretly seeing for years: the Tribune’s witty society writer.

Torquil Pimpernel-Smith is accustomed to using the force of gossip to pull the strings of social influence. So when they are offered a position as the Council’s first fae-human member, they readily accept.

However, their first project plunges Torquil into upper class circles rife with snobbery. Facing prejudice head-on is hard enough, without having to hide their true feelings for the eligible Emrys.

As the line of suitors starts to form, the Wrenwhistle family is intent on making a worthy match. Emrys and Torquil’s passion burns perfectly in private, but navigating society together will determine if their love is a blaze—or in danger of being extinguished.
