Friday Memes: Rembrandt's Station by Christie Meierz

 Happy Friday everybody!

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

Beginning:

This, thought Bertie, will be fun.

Friday 56:

The Monral bent over him. "My love, I beg you--"

"Must...must stay human...the Duke..."

The Monral slammed his other hand onto the treatment bed and looked up at the apothecary, knowing his face betrayed the pain of his next words. "You cannot give it to him unwilling."

This week I am spotlighting Rembrandt's Station by Christie Meierz. This is a recent addition to my TBR pile. Here is the description from Amazon:

Stationmaster and exiled aristocrat Albert St. John Rembrandt—Bertie to his friends—is in love with a Tolari ruler he's always believed he can't have, and finding out the hard way that some Tolari are as poisonous as their planet is only the beginning of his troubles. A ship has gone missing. His station is in crisis, and Bertie must somehow recover his health and manage the disaster while trying to decide whether to accept genetic modification in order to be with the man he loves.

And no Rembrandt has ever taken a gen mod.
