Ridiculously fun read. Actually pretty funny too! Did a few of the storylines and had my boyfriend choose one I read aloud to him. Great, fun entertainment!

I didn’t particularly enjoy this CYOA story. Maybe it was just the choices I made but there wasn’t much substance.
I followed a path with Benedict and I might have given up a little too early but I did see some decent self-reflection by the protagonist. I saw a few other reviews mention actual sexy scenes and I didn’t even get any of those! Just a quick, heavy kiss in gratitude from Benny…

I LOVE this book! It's hilarious, fun, and sexy. I only got through to one ending, and my library overdue fees are outrageous, so I'll have to wait until I buy it to try as many paths as I can!

You are you, the plucky, penniless, regency-era London version. For a lady of eight-and-twenty who can cover a screen just as well as she can jam out sonatas on the pianoforte, you are under the gun to find love with a suitably wealthy, good-hearted match else find yourself an eternal spinster.
At the start of the book, you are companion to a highly disagreeable employer. You accompany her to a ball, where you meet your friend, Lady Evangeline, youngblood, a “free-spirited Woman with a past.” You also encounter three single gentlemen. Sir Benedict Granville is the Darcy of the group. He is rude and rich. Lord Garraway Craven is “so mad and bad that word round the ton is that even Lord Byron finds knowing him to be dangerous.” There’s also Captain Angus MacTaggart, the Scottish savior of orphans.
.
.I didn’t go through all the possibilities, but I did read through several scenarios. Each and every scenario has their own plot twists , adventures, conspiracies and drama. I enjoyed digging through the secrets and scandals.
.
I enjoyed reading the book because anything that's happening is because of the choices I made. It was thrilling because you can try to guess what's coming next but still be surprised at what's happening. (Similar to what happens in our lives actually

Quickly and easy read with a fun concept! The writing wasn’t my favourite but I still had fun reading through a few timelines!

I LOVED choose your own adventure books as a kid, so it was fun to read an adult (very adult) one! This book, no matter which storyline you choose, is so over the top cheesy that it is pure satire of the bodice ripping genre. So be prepared to snort way more than anything else.

This is super fun. I have never read a create your own book before and I have to say I like it. I read through one round then did all the different choices for the gentleman I chose to begin with. Now I'm going through to read all the steamy bits.
