A Scoundrel of Her Own by Stacy Reid
5.0
Stacy Reid strikes again. Honestly at this point Stacy could publish her grocery list and I would buy 10 copies of it.
A Scoundrel of Her Own helped me find a new trope I didn't know I NEEDED in my life and that is the "as kids they promise to marry each other when they grow up, one of them forgets over time and the other holds onto that promise and never forgets".
As an adoptee I felt a very strong connection to the main character Ophelia. I felt Ophelia's emotions when she was explaining to Devlin her hurt, guilt, and fright as she was uncovering all these pieces of her life she didn't know before.
Devlin had me throwing my hands up in the air. Gosh I loved him, but boy did he frustrate me with his whole "I don't love her". I am kind of shocked my eyes aren't stuck in rolling position. The chemistry between Devlin and Ophelia was incredible. there were times I caught myself physically leaning into my kindle as if I couldn't get close enough while reading.
I adore how Ms. Reid rights interwoven stand-alones. I have read My Darling Duke, but I haven't yet had the pleasure of reading Her Wicked Marquess. With that being said even though parts of Her Wicked Marquess were alluded to, I didn't feel like I missed anything necessary to stop me from enjoying A Scoundrel of Her Own to the fullest. I love that we get to see other characters we will know more about in the future and revisit characters we hav already fallen in love with as we continue to read more of Stacy's series.
Overall this was a fantastic read for me. It will definitely be something that I can't wait to place on my bookshelf when it hits stores. I honestly can't thank NetGalley or Entangled Publishing enough for providing me with an E-Arc copy in exchange for my honest review.
