A Rogue of One's Own (A League of Extraordinary Women #2) Evie Dunmore
448 pages | Published by Berkley
Lucie is leading the suffrage movement in Oxford and has been branded a spinster and an outcast by society. But Lucie and her friends have just raised enough money to buy the majority shares in a publishing house so that they can begin to get their message to the woman of England. Their plan is perfect until Lucie's childhood nemesis Tristan steps in their way. Notorious rogue Tristan offers to step out of the way for a scandalous price.
I'm basically obsessed with the world and characters of Dunmore's A League of Extraordinary Women series. I love the women she writes, the men are dreamy, and her characters grow in natural ways and it's just delightful.
I enjoyed this book more than Bringing Down the Duke - I think I connected with Lucie more than Annabelle - I still loved BDTD but I definitely saw more of myself in Lucie, and I think there was more humor in this than the first.
I adored the chemistry between Lucie and Tristan, and I always love it when the two love interests have more of a history. Don't get me wrong, a meet cute is always appreciated but I find it so satisfying to have a character look back on their life with a fresh perspective, having gotten to know someone a bit more.
I know there will be more to this series, and I'm ready for it!
