A resoundingly amusing and tension filled read!
A Rogue of One's Own (A League of Extraordinary Women #2)
by Evie Dunmore
A suffragette and a rogue hero who just happens to be a poet. That's a good start right there!
Evie Dunmore had shot right to the top of my 'must read authors' with the first book in her 'League of Extraordinary Women series,' and stays there with this title.
The story revolves around women's right in the Victorian era. The story fairly seeps situations highlighting these facts.
As a counterpoint we have the reluctant warrior poet, returned from the wars in Afghanastan whose soul has been afflicted from the very start, indeed since childhood, by our defender of women's rights, Lady Lucinda Tedbury. Lucie and her group of Oxford suffragettes and Tristan, Lord Ballentine, "scoundrel, seducer, bane of [Lucie's] youth," are in conflict over control of a Publishing House. Tristan's price for standing down is one Lucie is never going to adhere to!
The story of Lucie and Tristan is human and believable. Lucie is in many ways her own worst enemy. She approaches situations with integrity, honesty and unfortunately, a hasty temper.
A fun read that takes no prisoners!
