⠀
Benvolio & Mercutio Turn Back Time by Lou Wilham and Elle Beaumont is an Adult Sci-fi Fantasy Romcom that just released and it was such a fun, campy read. Think Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy but with a Shakespeare twist and make it gay!⠀
⠀
The world building and time travel in the book was unique but familiar. I especially enjoyed the steampunk vibes of old Verona and the cautionary tales of the far future settlements. I'm totally with Mercutio that no matter where or when, there's always time for cheese and drinks! The places and people made each stop a fun adventure in itself.⠀
⠀
Benny and Mercy are the cutest couple by the way. A classic case of opposites attract, these two are the best of friends....and a whole lot more! The friends to lovers trope is my absolute favorite so I couldn't be happier with the sweet romance of the MC's. I also loved the side character's romantic entanglements. Dennis by the way is my new fave, horny, punny demon - just saying.⠀
⠀
Check out this book if you want a fantasy romance on the lighter side with a nod towards the Renaissance and The Princess Bride vibes. ⠀
