Ourselves and Immortality
John Hall, a shy man with a persistent stammer, has always had trouble connecting with people. Ashamed of both his eccentricities and his nearly lifelong fascination with mortality, John mostly keeps to himself. But when he lets his caring-yet-often-critical brother convince him to open his own funeral business, he finds himself overwhelmed by the more people-centric parts of funeral planning, and soon realizes that he needs to find someone personable to work with or else risk his business perishing.
Calvin Wright, a charming con man with a tragic past and mini-library of stolen books, is struggling to survive in the city of Philadelphia without resorting to work as a laborer. Desperate for money, Calvin tricks a woman into handing over her necklace, and by selling it, brings about a series of events that leads him to becoming John Hall’s business partner.
Once John and Calvin begin working together, they easily become friends. Captivated by each other's opposing personalities, it isn't long before the two men fall in love. But John's struggles with navigating emotional intimacy cause Calvin’s insecurities to worsen, and soon, John's brother's continuous mistrust of Calvin threatens to break their still-tenuous bond. When Calvin's trauma is fully unearthed, it leads him to make a mistake that could put his and John's relationship in peril.
Ourselves and Immortality is a heartfelt MM historical romance set in 1902 that explores the importance of connection, the consequences of feeling othered, and the fragility of love.

This book has intrigued me from the very start. A mortician AND a con man? I'd read a romance with either one, to be honest, and the fact that they fall for each other is even better.
John is shy and way too easy about the fact that he embalms dead bodies for a living. Calvin can talk himself out of almost any situation but he's constantly on the edge of precarity, living theft-to-theft and con-to-con. John knows he probably shouldn't trust Calvin, but he does.
John is peak autism rep! (With the caveat that everyone's experience with autism is different, I felt seen a lot.) The way he was treated felt as kind as the era allowed (the book felt very era-appropriate, so please read the CWs), and the fact that Calvin loves him just the way he is is so heart-warming.
Sweet, loving Calvin, fun-loving Katherine, and grumpy-but-actually-MVP Michael round out the found family in a way that makes me just want to read about their picnics for 500 more pages!
The general subject of the book allows for reflections around life, death, and, of course, immortality. I have to say that the last few paragraphs (and especially the last line, oh my god) were especially beautiful.
If you've read any of Logan Sage Adams's books, you'll know their romances are unfailingly sweet and generally low-angst. This book is a perfect fit. I absolutely recommend it.

Another sweet historical love story from Logan Sage Adams and I really enjoyed it.
I immediately fell in love with John: he's gentle and kind, he loves working alone, he's quiet and reserved, he's very different from his brother Michael and, sometimes, he feels uncomfortable around him, like he's afraid to do the wrong thing, but he loves him deeply. John is not big on changes, but accepts to move away with him and 2 years later after the first chapter (1902) he becomes a mortician.
Calvin is the opposite: he's a con man used to trick people to survive, he's a thief, he's very good at reading people and he's openly friendly. Calvin is also very poor and lives in misery. He finds himself being offered a position as John's assistant and he accepts gladly (even if he's quite uneasy with Michael's attitude towards him).
So, John and Calvin live and work together and develop a solid friendship, helping each other and making the business grow. But they also learn how to be better and improve themselves: John becomes more confident about his job and being around people, while Calvin starts to value honesty more and to be aware of the consequences of his actions.
John and Michael's confrontation about their past and their grief was absolutely heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time: I'm so very glad that they could mend things and being close again.
Katherine is an amazing person: she's supportive and sweet and I really appreciated such a positive female character in a MM romance. Her friendship with Calvin is unique and beautiful, it was like Calvin had a loving sister to his own.
What prevented me from giving five full stars:
I completely understand why Calvin thought David so often, but I would have preferred to not still read about him that late in the story
This book has a very beautiful prose: I loved the pace (even if it took me a little while to get into it at first) and the slow burn between Calvin and John. I adored the way the author describes their physical interactions and all their sweet times together: those moments were always so intimate and precious and I felt like I was intruding, like I didn't want to disturb them.
I hope to read another story by this author soon. In the meantime I highly recommend this book.
I received an ARC of this book from the author and this is my honest review

John and Calvin were completely endearing and I fell absolutely in love with them and their story. It is awe inspiring, the immense care that the author has taken to build this Edwardian world, weaving in the business of death which cannot be divorced from the emotions and rituals surrounding it, the love and hate of family which is a truth that endures and how you heal when you find understanding and acceptance and belonging. Every character: John, Calvin, Michael, Kathrine had depth and complexity and were far from perfect but I genuinely liked them, even Michael in the end.
This story moves at the pace of the times it’s set in asking you to slow down and savour the smaller gentler emotions, and the unfolding of a beautiful love story. Calvin could not have made a worst first impression, caught red handed to taking responsibility and then along the way letting his heart be vulnerable again, John learning to speak out but also learning that it’s ok not to. All of these stellar character journeys really moved me. John’s heart was truly a special thing, he was always so steadfast in his belief and affection for Calvin and Calvin needed John, accepted and loved every part of John. Honestly beautiful to watch.
The author is a master at weaving the progression of love, we see strangers meeting in less than ideal circumstances, see the first bloom of attraction and the strength of love, highly recommend reading this story.
Also I have to say, what John says in the end about the immortality of love was absolutely one of the most beautiful things I’ve read recently 🥹🥹
Expect:
* Edwardian Era
* Forced Proximity
* Con man x Mortician
* Found Family
* Grief and Loss
* Autistic Coded MC

Yet again, I am absolutely floored how Logan Sage Adams takes an obscure historical time period, misunderstood but endearing characters, and queer love and joy and puts it all together in the sweetest romance book. Ourselves and Immortality deals with some tough stuff - one of the characters is a con man who is starved for love and acceptance while they other is dealing with neurodivergence and a speech difficulty and they both deal with death daily as their career. Despite all that, however, the story is low angst and John and Calvin really are adorable together. Excellent historical romance read!
Ourselves and Immortaltiy is very character-driven, and I just loved both MMCs from the beginning. Calvin has a tough backstory, and while he can be a lot, he's still incredibly endearing. I love how his skill at reading people becomes a part of his romance with John, who has difficulty speaking about his wants and needs. And oh gosh, John really struggles with social interaction in this book - it's sometimes hard to read, as neurodivergence was not well understood at the time and John is constantly worried about being judged. For him, Calvin is a breath of fresh air, and when they both realize that they are both attracted to men, its such a relief.
In addition to swoony romance, the setting for this book is SO COOL. Turn of the century Philadelphia? All kinds of interesting details about funerals and embalming? One of my favorite things about Logan's writing is how she makes the past truly come alive - so many incredibly details. And the side characters! I absolutely loved Katherine - despite getting sucked into a pretty crazy con, she's so forgiving and accepting. And Michael was a huge surprise - I was prepared to not like him, but he was thoroughly redeemed in the end.
Logan remains one of my favorite historical romance authors for low angst swoon - all the hand touching, longing glances, and even SOUP you could want! Highly recommend checking this one out, and I cannot wait for more!

Ourselves and Immortality is the author's third novel.
This one is set in 1902, in the middle of the Edwardian era, and you can see that Victorian morals still prevail a little, but society is moving forward.
John is a mortician who runs his business, in beginning with his brother, Michael, but he is shy and has trouble relating to others, so it is dedicated to the less social part of the business. Calvin is a con man, who is dedicated to survive until he meets John's brother's wife and scams her.
Calvin strikes a deal with John to work with him to pay Michael's money back.
I really like how the characters are developed. John is neurodivergent, on the autistic spectrum, always struggling to relate to others, but finds Calvin a refuge.
Calvin also has his fears and traumas, which make him behave the way he does, when in reality he is a sensitive, kind and good-hearted man.
The book is very well set, in the course of the changes in relation to funeral homes, the whole ritual is very well documented, even appears the custom of postmortem photography (I learned about this a few years ago, related to a professional issue and it caught my attention).
It is a sweet, low angst romance, which I highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this! I think this is my favorite book from this author so far. It's so clear that Logan Sage Adams does their research with their writing. The details of the time period and subject matter were vast, and it made the story so immersive and believable. John and Calvin are such interesting MCs as well. They are both layered and complex. And all of their quirks, flaws, and amazing personal characteristics seem to fit so well with each other. There is some miscommunication, but it didn't really bother me here because it was a combination of John's neurodivergence and missing social cues alongside Calvin's insecurities from his traumatic past. But once they communicated, which was so well done, it was pretty smooth sailing. There is some ableism and homophobia in this historical setting, which often times bothers me, but not here. Adams handles these subjects with so much care. They address the tough subjects and make it believable, but also doesn't make it the entire character arc. That's something I really love about Adams' queer historical stories. They approach the characters queerness in a positive way, showing that queer people have always existed and they did have community support around them despite their struggles in society at the time. Overall, this was amazing, and I highly recommend checking this one out!

Absolutely wonderful, so sweet!
The same vibe as Logan's first book. I loved all main characters, John and Calvin and John's brother Michael, and his wife Katherine was so nice and such a good friend.
Such a cozy comfort read.

I absolutely loved the dynamic between John and Calvin. John, who is autistic and deeply reserved, struggles to express his thoughts and emotions. Watching him slowly open up and gain confidence with Calvin’s encouragement was incredibly heartwarming. Their relationship felt so genuine, and seeing John blossom throughout the book was one of the most rewarding parts of the story.
Calvin’s journey was just as compelling as John’s. He carries the weight of abandonment issues, grief, and guilt. As a con man, he’s made his fair share of questionable decisions, but what makes his character so engaging is the way the story explores his remorse. More than anything, Calvin is someone who desperately wants to love and be loved, but his past has made it nearly impossible for him to trust. That inner conflict added so much depth to his character. What made it even more powerful was John’s patience and understanding—he never pushed Calvin but instead helped him work through his fears at his own pace. Their dynamic felt so raw and real, making Calvin’s growth all the more satisfying to witness.
The side characters were just as compelling as the main duo! John’s brother, Michael, was especially well-written—though his grief shaped many of his actions, it never made him unlikable, and his growth by the end was incredibly satisfying. Katherine, Michael’s wife, was an absolute gem. Her kindness and unwavering support for Calvin added so much warmth to the story. The found family theme in this book was beautifully executed, making every relationship feel meaningful and deeply heartfelt.
What truly stood out to me was the way this book handled loss. It didn’t turn grief into something overly tragic, nor did it force happiness onto it. Instead, it explored the lighter side of loss—the love, the memories, the quiet moments of healing. It was a refreshing and beautifully nuanced take on a difficult topic.
Overall, if you’re looking for a book with amazing complex characters, a beautifully crafted found family dynamic ,and a sweet, low-angst romance between two absolute sweethearts, I highly recommend this one!

This book. I should have expected it but was not prepared for the level of emotions I felt with this one. John and Calvin’s relationship was amazing. But more than that I loved Michael’s part in this story and how sibling love is shaped due to circumstances. And Katherine her genuine forgiving and loving personhood! This woman!
This is more than love story between 2 broken men. It’s a journey through grief and loss. Seems obvious because it’s about a mortician but I was not expecting to feel Calvin’s grief so viscerally nor John and Michael’s. Each of these men had to work through their pain differently and they each experienced it so uniquely but in the end this love story brought healing and understanding to all of them and yes…it made me cry. And Katherine the ever present calm to all of them.
I could gush about this book for days but I’ll leave it with plan for witty inuendos, emotionally charged grief, and the knowledge that they all find their perfect place in the world.

This is such a beautiful story about absolutely imperfect people who are complicated. This overall theme is reflected so well between John and Calvin, even as they grow, and also in the side relationships (family and friends) they have. Ourselves and Immortality is set in 1902, and I always find the time period work of Logan Sage Adams to be fascinating. I can always imagine myself in the timeline as I read the story. My heart felt so many different emotions from pure heartbreak 🥺 to rage 🤬 to joy 😍 throughout this story.

Ourselves and Immortality is the newest book from Logan Sage Adams, I was fortunate enough to get an ARC for this and this was just beautiful. This is a historical queer novel featuring John, our neurodivergent MC who views the world differently, but also runs his own embalming business. As business increases, he finds he needs assistance with the front of the house and comes across an unlikely ally in Calvin. Calvin is a good for nothing con man who deep down has a good heart and really just needs a second chance. In a world where being queer is frowned upon, and the odds are stacked against them, can these two find a happiness they don’t believe they deserve?
Once again I’m awed at Logan’s writing, for one, I never thought I’d be into the history of embalming and funerals but I found it so fascinating. It’s clear Logan did her homework and presented us with such an authenticity to this time period.
The romance is a slow burn, low angst and I loved that it took its time. We really get to know these characters on their own but also together and I eagerly picked up the pieces throughout the story and I loved very minute of this. There was so much pining here, laughs, secret glances and yes soupy scenes.
We’re also presented with some well written supporting characters of Katherine and Micheal, you can’t help but be drawn to them. While some characters may not be like able, I think it’s important to understand we also don’t know what they may be going through. There’s so much vulnerability in letting someone in and this novel shows how beautiful that can truly be. This is a wonderfully written story that is about love, death, second chances and acceptance.

Calvin Wright is a charming con man just trying to escape his past. When he steals a necklace from the wrong woman, her husband tracks him down and forces Calvin to work with his brother John at his mortuary to pay back the cost of the fleeced necklace. Little did anyone know, Calvin and John would fall in love.
Okay so handsome, shy, stammering John might be one of my new book boyfriends for life. He is so fucking sweet and I just want to hug him all night. Seeing Cal and John experience a Side sexual relationship was MASSIVE as there is too much pervasive assumption that the only way to have a satisfying sexual relationship is for two men to do butt stuff. As a side myself, this was lovely to see.
Setting every other thing aside, the sheer amount of (accurate!) historical funerary and embalming information that the author put into this book made me extremely happy. As a guy slightly obsessed with death and learning about the funeral industry, this book seems to have been written for me. I am zero percent surprised that I loved this as much as I did.

This book was truly a breath of fresh air—low angst, slice-of-life, and utterly heart-melting. As someone who reads an awful lot, I’m used to spotting plot twists and seeing where the conflicts will come up, but this story genuinely surprised me (in the best kind of way) more than once.
And the communication? Fantastic! No frustrating, unrealistic misunderstandings—just real, believable interactions that made the romance feel all the more genuine. The characters actually talk to each other like normal people—it was so refreshing!
This story was heartwarming and so incredibly sweet. John and Calvin’s romance is something truly special, and I think this might be my favorite read of April. It was exactly what I needed!

What a wonderful, sweet, endearing story. John and Calvin are just adorable. John is the sweet, soft mortician in Philadelphia/Media area. He and his brother Michael work in the mourning field, helping those who have passed and their families.
Calvin is the orphaned child who became a bit of a trickster and thief. When Calvin steals John's sister in law's expensive necklace, he becomes John's assistant to make up for what he did.
Both Calvin and John have secrets and fears that they must face. Realizing they might have feelings for one another, they casually (and adorably) explore those feelings.
The story is fun, educational, sweet and my word do I love these men.

I adore Logan’s writing and this was another big hit for me. One thing I especially love is how Logan manages to focus on queer joy in their stories when queer historical romance tends to focus on queer trauma instead.
John has my whole entire heart. I firmly believe he should be protected at all costs and Calvin was also easy to love.
As always, the side characters in Logan’s books shine just as brightly and I will go to war for Katherine. I was so mad with Michael for most of the book that I couldn’t even fathom how he would be redeemed but I was pleasantly surprised that by the end I begrudgingly loved him too lol.
Highly recommend!

Logan out here once again proving she's a master at taking any time period and giving us the most incredible story with the most interesting and well rounded characters.
Ourselves and Immortality finds us in 1902 Philadelphia with neurodivergent mortician, John, struggling to run his business without his brother Michaels help; and Calvin a con man who after conning Johns sister-in-law out of her necklace, agrees to work for John to pay off his debt.
I want to wrap these two in bubble wrap and protect them forever. John is just about the sweetest man you'll ever meet. Due to the time period and massive lack of knowledge about neurodivergence, John constantly feels like he's 'strange' because of his stutter and struggles with social interactions. The way that Calvin comes in and instantly takes those struggles from John, knows what he needs when he's fighting with getting the words out and doesn't try to change him made my little heart so happy. Calvin may have been a con man, but he truly has a heart of gold. He's drowning in his own grief, and his friendship and then relationship with John starts the healing, but it's also his friendship with Katherine that allows him to let himself be loved.
The detail in the history of the time period and John and Calvins business shows how much research and love Logan pours into their stories. If Logan writes it, I'll be reading it!

Logan Sage Adams never fails to give readers the most fascinating and endearing stories filled with unforgettable characters. Ourselves and Immortality is a spectacular example of this. I love this story and sweet characters so much, I can't wait to read it again!
John has always been different. If this wasn't the Edwardian era, he would likely be given an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. He also has a stutter, which makes interacting even more of a challenge for this quiet mortician. Enter an unlikely helper, Calvin, who is conning people just to stay alive. He's had to start over due to trauma and can't fathom that he's special at all. I adore John and Calvin's relationship. Everyone deserves love and these special men finding each other while finding themselves is heartwarming.
The author's research into funeral practices, queer relationships, and an understanding of special needs during the era, as well as the time period itself is evident. Logan's historical queer romances truly feel like a window back in time, and a labor of love laid out for readers.
If you enjoy a diverse, historical romance with low angst, amazing representation, plenty of cookies, and an overflowing amount of love and forgiveness, get this book!!

I was intrigued when I first heard about this book and was fortunate to receive an ARC for it. I can say with confidence that Logan Sage Adams just gained a new fan with this one! I absolutely loved John and Calvin together. Both men have been neglected and taken for granted by those who were supposed to care for them the most, and you can't help but care about them and root for them. It was wonderful to see both of them begin to heal and recognize their worth after meeting and becoming partners. They were so sweet together, and I appreciated their avoidance of a needless third-act breakup through the use of proper communication. I also adored John's kindhearted sister-in-law Katherine and even liked her rather abrasive husband, Michael, by the end of the book. This was a sweet but emotional read, and I found myself crying more than once. Ourselves and Immortality may have been the first book I've read by Adams, but it will certainly not be the last! Solid 4.5/5 stars.

I'm devastated that this book is over...that's how tender, romantic, and delightful it was.
I don't know how Logan does it, but every book gets better and balances the historical time with the perfect romance filled with heart ache and yearning. I loved both characters, and I felt privileged to go on their journey to HEA.
If you haven't read a Logan Sage Adams book yet, I insist you drop everything and get reading! :)

Another great book from Logan. I loved John and Calvin. They were so well written and you felt all of their emotions. The setting, plot and world building was great as well. I loved the idea of a shy mortician and outgoing con man. They balanced each other so well.

Ourselves and Immortality is truly a unique novel with so much to recommend it that I hardly know where to begin.
The novel is set at the turn of the last century in Philadelphia, focusing on the romantic relationship between a shy mortician and a chaotic conman. That there is enough to have most people intrigued, right? It's such a specific and unusual set up for any novel, let alone an MM romance, that I was champing at the bit to read it!
This is Adams' third novel, and as I have read and loved the other two novels written by this author, I knew I was in for a treat. Adams has a wonderful way of presenting neurodivergent characters sympathetically, whilst remaining true to to the historical time period. John, the mortician, is autistic, but obviously the language to understand that is unavailable to the characters in the book. As such, his "unusual" behaviour is noted, and treated differently by various characters. I don't wish to post spoilers, so I cannot say much more, but I must praise Adams on the pitch-perfect presentation of an autistic gay man living in Gilded Age Philadelphia.
The second main character is no less fascinating and detailed for being neurotypical. He is a conman, and some writers may struggle to present him as likeable whilst still being a true depiction of such a character. Once again, Adams excels. Neither Calvin nor John are perfect people, but that makes them all the more believable.
For someone who doesn't visualise well, the descriptions of people and places can make or break a book for me. Too detailed and I lose track of the world. Not detailed enough and I struggle to imagine the world for myself. Adams manages to hit the nail on the head, for me at least, and creates a vivid and immersive environment in which the story can unfold.
Needless to say, this was a five star read, and I strongly recommend it to: fans of the macabre; hopeless romantics; history buffs; seekers of diverse characters and anyone who wants to lose themselves in an adorable romance about adorable men falling in love adorably.
Oh, and props for side rep too.

Ourselves and Immortality is my first read from this author, but it probably won't be my last. I enjoyed this one overall, and I struggled with the rating a bit before deciding on four stars.
This historical romance takes place in 1902 Philadelphia, and features John Hall, a man with a stammer who's what we'd now call neurodivergent and who is fascinated by mortality to such an extent that he's become a mortician. When he opens a funeral home in the city, he needs someone to help with the more social side of funeral planning.
Enter Calvin Wright, a con man who stole a necklace from John's sister-in-law and has to make amends by working for John. Calvin's confidence is great for the funeral business - and also for John himself. It doesn't take long for their friendship to evolve into something more, but John's emotional and communication issues and Calvin's trust issues and self-doubt threaten to push them apart.
There's a lot to like about this book. The characters, both main and side, are well-developed and likable, and all of them make steady progress throughout. Calvin's friendship with Katherine (John's sister-in-law) is sweet, the spicy scenes are wonderful, and there's believable representation for things like neurodivergence, grieving, and self-doubt.
The only thing that kept me from giving it five stars was that there was a decent amount of "telling, not showing" exposition. There were also some scenes that were a little repetitive, especially around the middle, and there were a few times when it felt like maybe things were dumbed down for the reader's sake, which wasn't necessary.
That said, this was still an enjoyable read overall, and it does make me want to read more by this author.

I've been waiting for this book since the author first shared the blurb and I was not disappointed. 'Ourselves and Immortality' is a beautifully crafted historical romance, and from the beginning it is clear how much research went into the writing. Set in 1902 Philadelphia, the novel seems to perfectly capture the era's social dynamics and the challenges faced by those who didn't fit neatly into society's expectations.
John is a socially anxious funeral director with a stammer and a deep fascination with mortality. His neurodivergence - though not understood or labeled during that time period - is handled with exceptional care and nuance. Rather than reducing his struggles to a plot device, the author took care to bring us into his inner world with respect and authenticity. We see both the challenges he faces and the strengths that make him remarkable, and it makes the character that much more genuine. His growth throughout the novel is slow but deeply rewarding, and every moment of self-acceptance and connection feel earned.
Calvin, on the other hand, is a charming and morally ambiguous con man whose survival instincts are shaped by past trauma. On the surface, he is John's complete opposite - lively, extroverted, and quick-witted - but beneath his carefully constructed persona lies a man haunted by his past, by loss, and by self-doubt. Their romance is a true slow burn, filled with stolen glances and a tentative trust, all of which fits the feeling and era of the novel - it would have felt out of place for this to be full of spice. Their eventual love story is built on setbacks and tension stemming from John's difficulty with emotional intimacy and Calvin's fear of abandonment, but that makes it that much more powerful.
Beyond the romance, though, this book will draw you in with its historical detail. From the nuances of early 20th century funeral practices to the social class struggles and rigid expectations of the time, every aspect is well researched and allows readers to truly immerse themselves in the world the author has created.
But what really sets this book apart is its exploration of what it means to be "othered" in a time that had little patience for those who didn't conform, nor the language to explain the differences. This is a novel about survival, trust, and learning to let someone in even when every instinct tells you to guard your heart. Thoughtful, poignant and ultimately hopeful, 'Ourselves and Immortality' is an absolute must-read for fans of historical romance that prioritizes both emotional depth and authenticity.

Ourselves and Immortality is an mm romance about a shy man with a funeral business and the charming con man who ends up becoming his partner. If you're looking for a mm romance with low angst, some spice and a neurodivergent mc, consider reading this.
John and Calvin were great characters. They were complex and had depth. I was fascinated by their insecurities and pains, their quirks, flaws and their pasts. They felt human. I especially adored John. He was endearing and I felt protective over him.
I liked the pacing and development of the romance. It was a slow burn, and was done well. Their relationship had its ups and downs, misunderstandings, heartwarming moments and it was great to see. I'm glad they found love with each other.
I found this to be a delightful read. I enjoyed the main characters and the romance. I was intrigued by the historical setting and the funeral aspects of the book. And I liked that John was neurodivergent.
This was an ARC read and review. I'm grateful to the author for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

3.75 ⭐
Overall this was a cute story about two gay men falling in love in Philadelphia of 1902. One of whom is a mortician (which I love), and the other a con man with a good heart and abandonment issues. Aside from them meeting and then doing the mortuary business together there isn't much else to the plot. There's some issues with the brother (who's an ass, but also really loves his wife and is so good to her) and some communication difficulties, as one of the guys has a stammer and is autistic which causes him to have a hard time expressing emotions. I missed some more story sometimes, but at the same time the book was too long. A book like this (cozy, slice of life) needs max. 200-250 pages so the 360 was a lot to get through at times.
That being said, Logan's writing style was beautiful, and you really felt the time period they were in. The little mortuary tidbits were a nice touch and you can see they clearly put in a lot of thought and research into it. It was my first historical romance, and I'm glad it was this one.
For spice I gave it 2 chili's, because it's a slow burn (first kiss around 50%) and because there's only some hand and mouth stuff going on. It was a nice change to see no penetrative s*x happening and them actually talking about them not wanting it either. That was real cute.

I received an ARC for this book and this is my review.
Ourselves and Immortality by Logan Sage Adams is a sweet m/m romance between a mortician and a con man. Set in 1902, this novel explores John and Calvin's relationship as they learn to trust themselves and each other.
I enjoyed getting to know both shy, neuro-divergent John and fast-talking Calvin. These characters fit well together and it was believable that they could form both business and personal relationships with each other. For me, the plot did get a little repetitive. It seemed like Calvin and John revisited their past traumas just a few too many times for my liking, in addition to doubting each other too often. I would have liked to see more scenes with Calvin and Katherine. I felt they had a fun dynamic and would have liked some more examples of their friendship.
I feel like this book will be best enjoyed by those who are looking for a sweet read about emotionally fractured MCs who gradually find strength in themselves and in each other. I enjoyed the premise of this book, but ultimately would not recommend it as one of my favorite reads.
