A Brother's Price
by Wen Spencer
310 pages (paperback)
Genre: Fiction/Romance/Fantasy
The first time I read this novel, I sped through and couldn't stop raving about it. I'm still kicking myself for forgetting to nominate it for Yuletide this year, but on a reread, I was able to pick out a few of its flaws. While I love the polyamory and gender reversal, both are a bit implausible. Society develops along many of the same lines, though one would think that with such a gender imbalance, there would be more differences. And could Jerin really fall in love with Ren in a week, or with her four sisters after meeting them briefly a few times?
Regardless, however, the romance is compelling and an original twist on Regency archetypes. Ignore the utterly sexist and unrepresentative cover.
