I love Glenn Quigley's writing. It's so immersive. The characters live rent-free in my head - especially Vince. But that's another story.

If you have not picked up Quigley's books or shorts, I highly recommend them. The characters are relatable - they're real - we all know people like them. The boys are burly, and it's hard not to fall for them. The architecture is clearly envisioned, with wonderful descriptions peppered throughout the story, and the clockwork (think steampunk) mechanics are mind-blowing.
The world Quigley has built for both The Moth and The Moon series, and The Knights of Blackrabbit is clever, whimsical, and romantic (and a little tawdry too). I said in a previous review that these works will have you walking down old plank docks, smelling of seawater and kerosene-dipped wood. The barnacles are right there for the touching.
The story (Nope, I'm not telling you any of it because it would spoil everything), is clever and had me turning the pages quicker and quicker to find out what happens to our Sailor returned home, Felix, the bar he inherits from his gangster Uncle, and the unlikely friendship he develops with Vince, the captain of the Knights Watch.
Please bring me more. And don't ever stop writing. Thank you for the amazing opportunity to read this ARC....more
I had the AWESOME opportunity to read this a while ago. Not dropping any names but Laura and I live rather close, so I got it first! LOL. Okay, maybe nI had the AWESOME opportunity to read this a while ago. Not dropping any names but Laura and I live rather close, so I got it first! LOL. Okay, maybe not first.
Laura writes in different tropes with her romances and this one was just as sweet as the last one, except where the last one left me wanting cinnamon rolls, this one made me crave cosmopolitans!
Jax is grumpy, and Kev is cute and flamboyant. Jax has a jaded history, and Kev is still making his history but comes from a rough youth.
When the two get together, it's shots on the house all night.
Get this small-town romance. It'll leave you tipsy and wanting another round.
PS - DID NOT expect the plot twist. SO good....more
