REVIEW: The Replacement Husband (book) by Eliot Grayson

The Replacement Husband is m/m fantasy romance with historicalish elements. I bought my copy new.

Review:

This is set in a Regency-ish fantasy world in which people known as "goddess-blessed" exist. As far as I could tell, the goddess-blessed were men who were 1) gay, 2) required to marry other men, and 3) would magically bring good fortune to whichever man they married.

Owen is one of the goddess-blessed. After hitting his head and being carried home by Arthur (although Arthur's brother Tom convinces Owen he was the one who did it), Owen meets his saviors and instantly falls for Tom's charm and nonthreatening good looks. Tom proposes, Owen accepts, and then Tom turns out to be a cad. Owen, facing the prospect of ridicule and damage to his reputation, reluctantly agrees to Arthur's offer to marry him instead, unaware that Arthur has been nursing a crush on him since they first met.
