A review by amylittleford
Pride and Pleasure by Sylvia Day
4.0
*4.5 stars
I borrowed this book from my sister as I wanted to read all the Sylvia Day books we own collectively! I enjoy Day's historical fiction and have now read every one! She also writes in other genres such as fantasy and contemporary fiction. This book has nothing to do with Pride and Prejudice before you think it is. It has the fake dating trope which I love and will read forever! Jasper Bond is hired by Eliza Martin to pretend to court her in her final season to dissuade any other suitors that may be after her money. Of course Bond takes this as a challenge. While he takes his job seriously he want to prove Eliza wrong, who believes she could never be seduced by such a man.
This was a simple and easy read with the spice that we come to expect from Day's writings. This one is set in London 1818, a similar time to when Bridgeton was set. It comes with a twist ending that I didn't guess. I thought it was a good idea and something that wouldn't be expected at the time. It was great to read Eliza, who was an independent woman of the time, which is rare, with her own money and encouraging other women of the same path. It was a good book that I'd recommend to those who enjoy historical romance with some spicy scenes.
