I'm usually a contemporary romance kind of gal, but every so often I like to read a fun historical romance . This light Regency romance fit the bill, and the sense of humor from the main characters made this an enjoyable read. The charming Peter Kent is an American and the new Duke of Stanhope. After his father's death, he is struggling to gain custody of his two much younger and illegitimate half-siblings. Our heroine, the independent and intelligent Lady Selina Ravenscroft, secretly runs a circulating library for women, specializing in scandalous books that educate and sexually empower women. Some predictable moments of angst with their relationship progression but a fun read nonetheless. Also, I would absolutely read an entire book about Freddie and Lu! New-to-me author, but I will definitely be reading her other books. Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. ( ) This is the story of Peter Kent, an American abolitionist who inherits a Dukedom and Lady Selina Ravenscroft. Selina secretly runs a bookshop with a Venus catalog containing erotic reading material available to women with membership. This leads to some funny situations and plenty of heat. The peripheral characters are engaging. Peter is sweet, Selina is feisty. It's a cute, enjoyable story. 3.5⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press, St. Martin's Griffin for this complimentary ARC.

"In this steamy Regency romp, Lady Selina is determined to find the Duke of Stanhope the perfect wife-the only problem is she's starting to think that might be her. Peter Kent-newly inherited Duke of Stanhope and recently of New Orleans, Louisiana-must become respectable. Between his radical politics and the time he interrupted a minor royal wedding with a flock of sheep-not his fault!-he's developed a scandalous reputation at odds with his goal of becoming guardian to his half siblings. For help, he turns to the cleverest and most managing woman of his acquaintance, Lady Selina Ravenscroft. Selina is society's most proper debutante, save one tiny secret: she runs an erotic circulating library for women. When Peter asks for her help, she suggests courtship and marriage to a lady of unimpeachable reputation. (Which is to say, definitely not herself.) But matchmaking doesn't go according to plan. Peter's siblings run rampant on Bond Street. Selina ends up in the Serpentine. And worst of all, the scorching chemistry between Peter and Selina proves impossible to resist. For the disreputable duke and his unpredictable matchmaker, falling in love just might be the ultimate scandal"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
