Romancing the Inventor

"Romancing the Inventor is a spinoff of the Finishing School and the Parasol Protectorate. The events of this book happen about 4 years after the conclusion of the Parasol Protectorate. Genevieve Lefoux is the leading lady and repeat character, she was 10 in the Finishing school and in her late 20's early 30's in the Parasol Protectorate. I ADORED Vieve in the Finishing school series and thoroughly enjoyed her flirtations in the Parasol Protectorate. This is Miss Carriger's first LGBTQ focused book set in this universe and very well done it is! This book is my favorite of all her novella's mostly because Vieve has always been one of my favorite characters. <br/><br/>Imogene Hale is Genevie's romantic interest. I think that she was the perfect match for Genevieve. Genevieve has always been such a young soul, enjoying life but also being incredibly intelligent. Imogene has natural intelligents and a desire to better her education. Imogene, like many others in the LGBTQ community, has a hard time accepting herself as a lesbian until she meets Genevieve who has always embraced her sexuality and dressed in masculine garb even as a child. I thoroughly enjoyed Genevieve getting her happily ever (even though a small part of me still hopes for Alexia and Genevieve to get together).<br/><br/>The Supernatural Society books are about different characters in same sex relationships. I personally am not a fan of F/F or M/M sex in books but the way that Gail Carriger wrote their love stories and included much emotion into the love making was beautifully done. I really enjoyed getting everything settled and we even get to see both couples from this series a little bit in the Custard Protocol series (set 5ish years after events in Romancing the Inventor) <br/><br/>Here is a link to Gail Carriger's reading order according to her blog! https://gailcarriger.com/.../the-definitive-gail.../"
