Gearing up for the few weeks of freedom she has before she’s married to a man thrice her age, Anne Sheffield approaches the notorious rake Richard Grey to do the impossible: help her find a different husband. As her father’s political rival, Grey can hardly pass on the promising political secrets Anne’s gathered from her overbearing father in exchange for lessons on how to seduce a man.
This book was so much more than I was expecting: house parties, clandestine meetings, subterfuge, and murder come together to weave a story bigger than I could’ve imagined. The romance had me questioning if this was love or lust at times, but ultimately they got their HEA. The last 30% was a rollercoaster and definitely entertaining.
You can tell Kendrick was setting up several other novels: Montgomery/Miss Cecil, Alexandra/Thorne, and Caroline/Hastings, and it’ll be interesting to see where she takes all of their stories.
TW: parental abuse, sexual assault, violence, pedophilia
