2021/027: The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting -- K J Charles

“Unlucky in love, lucky at cards,” Robin agreed. The maxim had always held true for him, although he wasn’t so much lucky as manipulative when it came to cards. Mind you, he could say the same about love. [loc. 543]

This was a delight to read: a fizzy, witty, yet substantive Regency M/M romance with Heyeresque tropes and a very non-Heyer perspective on issues of social class, gender and sexuality.
