Synopsis:
Founded by the wealthiest woman in London, an unconventional crime-solving club brings together single lords and overlooked ladies from every rung of society. It’s a perfectly scandalous match...
As London’s most sought-after bachelor, the Duke of Leomore stuns society when he announces his engagement to a woman who has just been branded a thief. Yet as his painfully shy “bride-to-be” understands, it is merely a ruse until The Society for Single Ladies apprehends the true culprit—and a ploy to further delay Leo’s obligation to wed. For him, marriage will be a purely practical affair. Still, why does a stolen kiss with his faux fiancée conjure such tempting visions of romance?
As if being falsely accused weren’t mortifying enough, Phoebe North is now the talk of the town. And while she knows Leo did the honorable thing to protect her reputation, she can’t help but long for more. It would be an impossible match given their unequal stations, and Leo has made his view of marriage quite clear. Yet his kiss and flirtatious ways say something else. If only she could persuade him of how delightful it would be to thumb their noses at convention—and become fools for love...
Review:
This was my first time reading a book by Lynne Connolly. To be honest, I don’t actually know what I was expecting.
This book is a bit slow, particularly in the beginning, but it gets better closer to the end.
The best thing about the book for me was the Society for Single Ladies, yet we saw so little of them… Hopefully they’ll get a bigger spotlight in the next books.
I liked Phoebe more than Leomore, he was a bit too possessive for my liking, but in the end he gets better. Phoebe is a clever young woman, and she deserves to be happy.
The mystery didn’t really work for me, I was pretty sure of the result right from the beginning.
Angela, Phoebe’s best friend, is one of the best characters of the book, and I think her story will be more interesting.
The romance wasn’t bad, but it could have been better… There just wasn’t enough chemistry for me between the main characters.
This is the kind of book that doesn’t really stick with you, it’s pleasant, but that’s just about it.
I received an eARC at no cost from the author, and I am leaving a voluntary and honest review. Thank you.
