A Rogue of One's Own by Evie Dunmore
5.0
Is it possible I loved this even more than I loved Bringing Down the Duke? Yes, yes it is. Something about Lucie’s fierce independent spirit just spoke to me on such a deep level.
To Lucie, there is nothing more important than the Cause. Gaining rights for women: the right to vote, the right to move about freely as a man can, the right to not be treated as property if married.
Tristan, on the other hand, cares about very little save his mother and maintaining his independence from his father. He’s allowed his reputation as a rogue to run rampant through the streets of London, and across the UK.
Lucie and Tristan have known each other for years, and their interactions have always left something to be desired.
But then, by chance these two collide, and the results? Fireworks. But fireworks can be dangerous, and their connection has the power to explode both of their lives in spectacular fashion. Or, it could end up being the thing that saves them both from themselves.
A Rogue of One’s Own was the most perfect follow up to Bringing Down the Duke. Dunmore does such a fabulous job of transporting the reader into late-1800s Britain and making them feel as if they are walking right alongside the characters through their highs and lows.
