Truly worth it to see Lucie, the absolute hell on wheels, rabble-rouser nightmare, be loved exactly for who she is and on her terms

A Rogue of One's Own sees Lady Lucie, a suffragette who has just bought half of the shares of London Print, going head to head with the notorious rogue Tristan. Who owns the other half of the shares of London Print. It's hate at first sight, since there's no way that a nobleman would ever support the suffragette cause, or help repeal the married women's property act. And there's no way he'll let her publish anything radical in their co-owned newspaper, would he? Until, he offers her a deal to become the majority stakeholder in London Print. But will she take it, and what will happen if she does?

Lucie and Tristan's story was such a fantastic addition to this series about strong men and women and the struggle for women's rights in 19th century England! I adored both main characters to equal degree, and loved them together even more. Even as HEA romance, I was so curious to see how these two could end together by the end?! With all the odds against them?!! They both deserve so much, I was worried for them, okay. As I'm working on my undergrad thesis, which incorporates contemporary journal discourse surrounding late 18th century prison systems, the periodical talk in this book got me so excited. Dunmore has clearly done her research, and I appreciate every moment of her smart, informed romances. This series has the perfect blend of romance, history, and activism, and it never disappoints.
