Summary
"The Queer Principles of Kit Webb kept me up all night! I simply couldn’t put it down." (Tessa Dare, New York Times best-selling author)
“Sharp, smart, and oh-so-swoony, The Queer Principles of Kit Webb reminds me that Cat Sebastian is an author at the absolute top of her game.” (Rachel Hawkins, New York Times best-selling author)
Critically acclaimed author Cat Sebastian pens a stunning historical romance about a reluctantly reformed highwayman and the aristocrat who threatens to steal his heart.
Kit Webb has left his stand-and-deliver days behind him. But dreary days at his coffee shop have begun to make him pine for the heady rush of thievery. When a handsome yet arrogant aristocrat storms into his shop, Kit quickly realizes he may be unable to deny whatever this highborn man desires.
In order to save himself and a beloved friend, Percy, Lord Holland must go against every gentlemanly behavior he holds dear to gain what he needs most: a book that once belonged to his mother, a book his father never lets out of his sight and could be Percy’s savior. More comfortable in silk-filled ballrooms than coffee shops frequented by criminals, his attempts to hire the roughly hewn highwayman, formerly known as Gladhand Jack, proves equal parts frustrating and electrifying.
Kit refuses to participate in the robbery but agrees to teach Percy how to do the deed. Percy knows he has little choice but to submit and as the lessons in thievery begin, he discovers thievery isn’t the only crime he’s desperate to commit with Kit.
But when their careful plan goes dangerously wrong and shocking revelations threaten to tear them apart, can these stolen hearts overcome the impediments in their path?

Sparkling wit and healing restoration
What a fun filled romp in 1750s London and countryside for fans of historical romance. The story follows the fates of Kit Webb, a reformed highwayman turned coffee shop owner and Lord Percy Holland, who finds himself a victim of blackmail, impending disinheritance and consequent fall from aristocracy. Percy needs Kit's help in obtaining the one bargaining chip left to him - his mother's mysterious book that might be enough to persuade Percy's loathsome father to provide some financial means to live.
The plot has enough of twists and turns to it keep the mystery aspect going while the descriptions of upper and lower class lives give a vivid setting for the protagonists to thrust and parry as it were. The dialogue is witty and truly comes to sparkling life with Joel Leslie's incomparable narration. I really appreciated the change from usual story arc milestones of misunderstanding and lack of communication resulting in a break up, or grievous bodily harm to one of the mc's resulting in near death bedside scenes. A truly enjoyable listen I didn't want end.

A No From Me.
Enjoyed the story, a lot of holes in, which I'm hoping will be filled in 'The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes'. However, this narration didn't work for me. I had to stop listening around the fourth or fifth chapter.
I have never listen to anything by Joel Leslie before, but I didn't enjoy listening to this one bit, especially when he made Kit, one of the main characters sound like a complete oaf.

This is book 1
This being book one makes it difficult to rate. I had one major issue with the plot I can't exain here without writing a spoiler. It kept nagging me and ruined my enjoyment.
Not all ends are tied up but they lived happy ever after.
