My 2024 Reading Challenge for the month of February will be Beat The Backlog work (digital and print books). This includes crossing authors off my to-binge list. Here's Merry Farmer's (also known as MM Farmer) "Just A Little Prelude." It's the opening novella to The Brotherhood series.
["Dr. Todd Sullivan has worked hard against class and social expectations to secure a position as a physician at a prominent London hospital. But when he stumbles across a beaten and dying young man in the alley beside the hospital on his way to his first day of work and treats him against orders, he is fired on the spot.
Todd has nowhere to go and no money to support himself or the injured mystery man.
Simon Warner thought he was dead and that an angel came to take him out of the misery of the world. But when he awakes and finds himself in the care of the very human Todd, he feels as though he has found heaven on earth. But thanks to him, Todd isn’t safe, and the man who tried to kill him could hurt them both."]
This book was adorable. If you ignored the period accurate homophobia and views on "healthcare." Simon was instantly smitten with his angel, Dr Todd; and Todd was instantly taken with his Simon. I loved them. I loved all of the support they received (spoiler alert: not from their family) from Simon's friends as well as from the Brotherhood, which I'm totally intrigued by.
Historical romance isn't suuuuuper my thing, but I said that about paranormal romance (and omegaverse), and now I'm hooked; ALSO, Merrr/MM Farmer is fabulous so, why not give this a shot. ;)
Trigger Warnings: period accurate homophobia, period accurate "healthcare," violence, attempted murder, murder, sexual assault, and more.
