His Reluctant Lady by Aydra Richards
emotional
4.0
This was one of those ‘these characters are idiots and it fills me with glee’ historical romances. First comes ruination, then comes (reluctant) marriage? Then comes well-earned HEA 🥰
We had:
✨ spying on his liaisons for ‘research’
✨ sexy blackmail is all fun and games until you’re forced to marry
✨ “Courting his wife was going to be a damn sight more difficult than he’d expected” [actual quote]
✨ one of my favourite types of FMCs: the poor-yet-genteel older sister scheming (in this case, secretly earning money as an author) to get her younger sisters well married
✨ one of my favourite types of MMCs: a total idiot (making it through life with Pretty Peer Privilege™️ alone)
This is definitely a high four star. Our girl made him work for it. And I loved her for that. Apparently grovels are this authors thing? I’m excited for this backlist!
