The Queer Principles of Kit Webb

A Novel

By: Cat Sebastian

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

"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?

THE combination!

Combine any of Cat Sebastian's books with Joel Leslie's narration and you have a winner. This was (again) such a joy to read and listen to. I actually read the book first and then listened to it being narrated by Joel and it was even more wonderful. 7 stars out of 5!!

Fencing, Fighting, Escapes, True Love

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I do everything Cat Sebastian writes. Joel Leslie is always a pleasure to listen to as well.

I will say that I predicted the surprise twist, but that didn't make me enjoy it any less. I hope there will be a few more books in this world, I would love to know what happened to Marian and Rob, maybe even Flora.

Best Sebastian so far

Cat Sebastian’s books were good to begin with and keep getting better. Well written, funny, sweet (NOT in the invisible sex sense), twisty plot, and a happy ending. Excellent narration.

I’ve truly enjoyed all of Cat Sebastian’s books

This book is no exception it illustrates the limited shitty choices of the poor and working class and the absolute power of the titled and privileged. But is also shows how two traumatized “prickly” individuals can tentatively reach out and find each other. I really love that because none of us is perfect and being loved in spite of this when we’ve been at our worst is truly special. Oh and the sex rocks of course.

story leaves you with questions

I've enjoyed this author many times, but I have to say that this one seems incomplete. The story is good, the mystery around the plot is easy enough to figure out very quick. Following these two around was fun. But the end ruined it for me. Questions and information left just hanging around. Not a real conclusion or end to a story.
Of course the narrative was spot on and very well done.

Great book

Highly entertaining, good reader, interesting characters. I would definitely recommend it and am looking forward to reading more

Great story, miscast voice actor

Don’t get me wrong, the voice actor is very talented. But his voice is older-sounding and doesn’t feel appropriate to the young characters. His “cockney” accent is also incredibly grating. I’d rather have this VA reading classical literature than romance novels.

Ah! so good.

Joel Leslie is a genius and this book is a warm bath of m/m Regency goodness. Five stars all around.

Entertaining

This was an entertaining, easy listen. I liked both Kit and Percy, and I really liked them together, talk about opposites! I enjoyed how they worked together on Percy's quest, after some hesitancy on Kit's part, which ultimately led to them falling in love.
I thought the mystery of the blackmailer was intriguing, and Cat Sebastian put a nice twist to it. The heist itself felt kind of rushed, after all the build up. I was satisfied with the way things ended with Kit and Percy, but the ending was definitely open-ended. After checking, I do see there will be a second book, featuring the 2 characters whose storyline we were kind of teased with. I was hoping Kit and Percy would be getting another book, but hopefully they'll be making appearances in the next one!

Another winner of a performance from Joel Leslie! I really enjoyed the accents and the way he was able to differentiate Kit and Percy's voices. I think he does a terrific job with the different social classes, just by slight changes in his voice.
