Synopsis

Madeleine Roux’s next season in Regency England follows a rebellious writer and the man who risks everything to publish her.

Margaret Arden yearns to live like the passionate and daring women in her novel. The idyllic life at Mosely Cottage with her two younger sisters and mother is fine, but Margaret wants more than the demure and dainty existence she’s known. After a particularly brutal rejection from an annoyingly attractive publisher, Margaret fears being forced into marriage to protect her family if their financial situation doesn’t improve—until her cousin’s glamorous wedding masquerade brings her onto a collision course with scandal, notoriety, and even love. 

Captain Bridger Darrow is starting over after fighting for his country. Now home, he is struggling to save his family from destitution and succeed in a new venture of passion: book publishing. It’s all going rather poorly, until he stumbles upon loose pages of an astonishing novel while in attendance at his dearest friend’s wedding. Bridger knows he must publish it. But upon meeting the author, Bridger is stunned to discover that he—she—is a woman, and he has already told her off in grand fashion.

While Bridger is keen to gain her trust and rescind the initial rejection, Margaret can’t help but be skeptical of his intentions. Sparks fly between the two, just as the wedding of the season starts to descend into chaos when a masked dance leads to a case of mistaken identities.

This was an okay historical romance that had nice bookish vibes and a whole lot of family issues and an enemies-to-lovers.

I was excited to read this after watching the new season of Bridgerton. I wanted to be transported back to Regency England. In the beginning, Bridger was definitely a jerk who clearly made mistakes in the past. And he didn't approve of female writers?! I wasn't sure if I could get behind him as a MM......more

Quotes

“Roux’s newest is ripe with scandal, romance, and a mystery to solve. Readers who enjoy an enemies-to-lovers romance will love Roux’s (The Proposition) historical take on the trope.”Library Journal, starred review

“Mixing the wit of Jane Austen, plot points borrowed from Shakespeare, and distinctly modern sensibilities, Roux’s delightful latest Regency (after The Proposition) turns on an eventful wedding weekend.
