I loved Lucie and Tristan's story!
**Updated**
I loved Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore so of course I had to dive right into A Rogue of One's Own immediately upon receiving it. Dunmore is a fast favorite and an official auto-buy for me based on these first two books and if you haven't picked them up, you need to do so ASAP.
Lucie and Tristan's story is full of banter and I love it when authors can make you feel the push and pull of the character's feelings. These two are drawn to each other and end up making a bargain that will change them both. I love a great character driven story and Dunmore won me over. Lucie's drive is what makes her stand out. She will do anything for her cause because she's seen what happens to women first hand, and if that means she has to make a deal with Tristan, she'll do it. Tristan has been looking for a way out from the control of his father and now that he is no longer the spare, he'll do whatever he can to gain some independence.
Overall this was another great story by Dunmore. I know I talk mostly about the characters but the suffragist movement is what brings this story together and I love how Dunmore uses this piece of history to push the story and the characters forward.

I was so happy when I was approved for Fable by Adrienne Young but I made myself wait a bit to read it closer to the release date...I'm not sure why I did that. This book was everything I was hoping it would be after having LOVED Sky in the Deep and I can't wait to get my hands on Namesake.
Fable watched her mother die and the next day her father drops her off on an island filled with thieves and her life is changed forever. The only thing driving Fable is the goal of getting off the island back to her father and forcing him to put her on his crew where she belongs. It's been a challenging four years and there were times where she thought she wouldn't make it but with the skills her mother shared with her and a trader named West, Fable has survived. When she is threatened and forced to make an immediate decision, Fable jumps aboard West's ship and bargains whatever she needs to in order to get across the Narrows and back to her father. The thing is, West isn't exactly who he seems and as Fable learns more about him and his crew, she finds herself in a dangerous position.
I love Fable. She is tough and smart and a survivor. She did whatever she needed to on the island and she continued to do so even when she got back to her father. While I could see what her father was trying to do, it was crappy and I felt for Fable but she didn't let his decision take her down. Instead she used her brain and got what she needed out of him. West was initially a bit of a mystery but learning his story and what he an his crew were up to, it was easy to see why he held himself back at first.
This was a book I couldn't put down...literally. I read it in one day because I needed to know all the things and I can't wait to get my hands on book 2 because man, that ending. If you're looking for a young adult book with great characters, an engaging story, lots of action, and some swoony, check this one out immediately!
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the review copy.
