by Arabella’s outraged and very camp brother, Bonaventure, who is seeking assistance in intercepting her on her presumed flight to Dover. Something Fabulous (Jan 25, 2022) by Alexis Hall (Author) (1,302) From the acclaimed author of Boyfriend Material comes a delightfully witty romance featuring a reserved duke who’s betrothed to one twin and hopelessly enamoured of the other. Their botched engagement leads to Valentine being dragged from his bed at four a.m. It kicks off with runaway bride Arabella Tarleton, who is quite hyperbolically opposed to matrimony with the very correct (even prim) Valentine, Duke of Malvern. The result is a sometimes overextended comic skit with 19th-century set dressing, scant on atmosphere and feels, focused instead on the rapid-fire dealing of the next sparkling and implausible gag. Lest readers be tempted to take the latest from Hall ( Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake) at face value as a Regency romance, attention is directed to the word “fabulous” in the title-as well as “lumberjack,” “debrief,” and any number of other anachronisms that pepper this wonderfully queer mash-up/send-up of buddy movies, Austen novels, and classic rom-coms.
