Doff your strawiest cap, we're on a summer holiday to Cornwall with "A Shore Thing" by Joanna Lowell.

Muriel has been pigeon-holed into presenting on seaweed instead of her preferred botany interests. Thankfully, the English seaside is not only home to many kelps but also one Kit, a painter who Muriel initially admires as an illustrator of flora and later as an igniter of her more...fauna instincts. Kit is finally living as himself (though not out as trans, this is 1888) and doesn't want to...rock the boat. But that's what falling in love is all about! There's a bicycle race as well.

When it comes to character development, what's the difference between personal history and personality? What can cozy romances show us about the unique pacing challenges in romance, broadly? And, in this day and age, what does it mean to be tender with the lads?
