The loyal daughter, devoted friend, contraception activist, free thinking, anti marriage, sexually liberated, fiery red head, Ms. Eleanor “Nellie” Lucinda Young and the thrice jilted, American heiress hunter, His Grace, The (eighth) Duke of Lockwood, Andrew Talbot, finally get their story.
The fourth book in Joanna Shupe’s The Fifth Avenue Rebels series is, IMO, the ⭐️ of the set.
It starts at a midnight swim during a house party you’ll recall if you’ve read the other books. What follows is a series of awkward moments, hurt feelings, bruised egos, bar fights, laughter, what best friends really mean, a Teddy Roosevelt cameo, secret 🥵 meetings, public dinners, facing fears, honesty about health, political movements and intrigue, a perfect declaration, a deliciously scandalous tattoo, and of course, a moving love story.
Come for the banter and VERY VERY HOT sex, stay for the thoughtful discussion about loving with a terminal illness, reproductive freedom advocacy, and history lessons.
This book’s author’s note is a must read.
Eleanor and Andrew’s love story is fun, romantic, sexy, daring, and emotional.
