REVIEW: The Case of the Sexy Shakespearean
Blurb:
Dr. Llewellyn Lewis leads a double life, as both an awkward but distinguished history professor and the more flamboyant Ramon Rondell, infamous writer of sensational historical theories. It’s Ramon who first sets eyes on a gorgeous young man dancing in a club, but Llewellyn who meets teaching assistant Blaise Arthur formally at an event held for wealthy socialite Anne de Vere, descendant of Edward de Vere, seventeenth Earl of Oxford—who some believe was the real Shakespeare. Anne wants Llewellyn to prove that claim, even though many have tried and failed. And she’s willing to offer a hefty donation to the university if he succeeds.
It also means a chance for Llewellyn to get to know Blaise much better.
Not everyone thinks Llewellyn should take the case—or the money. Between feuding siblings, rival patrons, jealous colleagues, and greedy administrators, almost anyone could be trying to thwart his work… and one of them is willing to kill to do it.
When Anne de Vere turns up dead, the police believe Blaise is the murderer. Only the shy, stuttering professor who has won his heart can prove otherwise….

Thoughts:
I'll be honest, when I started this I was expecting your average mystery story with romance thrown in. I was pleasantly surprised by this story! It's got the same charm you expect from Tara Lain with a strong mystery plot that keeps you guessing. There's even some extra excitement thrown in at the end just to keep you on edge!
Llewellyn is an endearing contradiction of a man while Blaise is a charismatic puzzle. I loved Llewellyn's assistant and the rest of the characters were such an interesting mix that I honestly didn't quite see the solution to the mystery despite usually being pretty good at guessing them. I thoroughly enjoyed this read!

Bottom Line:
The Case of the Sexy Shakespearean is a sweet and riveting story with a great cast of characters. I look forward to more from this intriguing new series!
