Your Majesty
Sawyer didn’t end up exactly where he thought he was going to be. Once a young man with a promising future, his current career choice and his lack of ambition have made him stagnant.
Sawyer knows that there’s nothing he can do to fix his present or his future.
But when he’s out on a job and things around him suddenly begin to change, Sawyer is forced to confront the reality of his situation.
Then he meets someone who wants to take his life, a living, breathing king… young, gorgeous, and the only thing he seems to want is Sawyer’s head.
Is the key to fixing Sawyer’s future in the past, after all?

I chose this because the blurb sound interesting and I usually love anything time travel related. And I have enjoyed other stories from Lina Langley before. I have to say this time I was very disappointed. The biggest thing that hinders any enjoyment is things are never explained. Maybe if this was fleshed out in a longer format it might be better. Maybe the author intends to do that later and answer some of the questions, but just judging what we have here I can't recommend this at all.

This story is just confusing and doesn’t make much sense. It is so short with so little character or plot development that we have no idea what happened to Sawyer that he wound up where he was (where was he exactly?) or how he suddenly got back to his reality. And if William is the king and sovereign of his kingdom, why is is father a threat to him?
Unfortunately, this is like so many other of Ms. Langley’s works: poorly edited and full of sentences that make no sense; e.g., “Which is the only reason your head is still on your head.” This author is a very prolific writer with good and intriguing plot ideas, but they are too often poorly executed. Seems to me that perhaps fewer stories that are very well written would be better than a plethura of lesser works.

I signed up for Lina Langley's free book list after meeting her through #LGBTWIP on Twitter. The proliferation of her work is astounding. I'm a slow writer by nature, and meanwhile she churns out fiction after fiction, each with a gorgeous cover to boot. It's truly amazing and impressive.
The first free book I downloaded was Your Majesty, which is a novella that I devoured in the fifteen minutes I was waiting for my partner to get out of work. I completely failed to understand the blurb, so I was quite surprised when Jaded Millennial™ Sawyer bumped his head, traveled to Regency Era not-England, and met William, whose intoxicating beauty is wasting away while his father arranges his marriage.
Overall, the story was very sweet and funny, with lots of the cultural confusion trope and innuendo-laden banter. I giggled and enjoyed how much Sawyer reminded me of Marvel Comics' Jessica Jones. The story's vibe is more sensual than erotic: there ends up being no sex in favor of clearer verbal communication. My main quibble would be I wanted Langley to more fully own the magic of the story. Sawyer's traveling is treated a little too deadpan for my tastes, and I wanted more atmospheric details and skin-prickling strangeness. Like other reviewers, I wouldn't have minded the novella being longer too, maybe with more fleshing out of William's situation, more explicit character gender ID (couldn't tell if they are bi/pan with preference for men or gay), and the ending more established as happy.
As is, Your Majesty is a pleasant read, and I recommend it to romance readers looking for a quick, fun bite.

I somehow feel I am been unfair to this book giving it a 3 star but it did not grab me. Is the shortness, the strange parallel universe (if that what's it is) the ending I am not sure yet I got a sense of both men and I liked hat. It would be interesting to visit them again in a longer story of William coming to terms with ha new reality.

A sweet, interesting, and lovely short story. I'm really pleased with this and would love to read more (either in the same world or just other works by this author).
