The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah MacLean
4.0

Re-read 2020 for #SummerofSarahMacLean
I enjoyed my second romp with King and Sophie, especially the tight focus in on these two as they travel in various conveyances across the countryside to King's childhood home/estate. Seeing the glimpse of Lady Sera and her upcoming standoff with her husband was very emotional, because he seems truly irredeemable in this novel. Absolutely no way in heck would I EVER forgive him. But wow Day of the Duchess pulled it off!

I still think King needed to grovel more, that wedding was so sad and I felt so terrible for Sophie.

Lady Sophie's sisters are the Kardashians of Regency England. Scandal-filled and sensational, they are Sophie's opposite in every way. Sophie simply wants to avoid society and make her family happy. Too bad she starts her own scandal when she pushes her sister's philandering husband into a fountain.

Hoping to escape, she stows away in a carriage, the wrong carriage. It's occupant is none other than the fabulously rich and titled Marquess of Eversley, and he thinks she is out to trap him into marriage. She isn't! She really isn't. But, he may want to be trapped after all...

I adore Sarah MacLean. Her historical romances are fun, genre-defying, and full of feisty female leads who take the reins. I am looking forward to additional titles in this series.
