'Evie Dunmore has done it again! A must-read for historical romance lovers' Chanel Cleeton

'Dunmore creates pure magic with this charming, romantic novel' Jennifer Probst

A lady must have money and an army of her own if she is to win a revolution - but first, she must pit her wits against the wiles of an irresistible rogue bent on wrecking her plans . . . and her heart.

Lady Lucie and her band of Oxford suffragists are finally prepared for a coup against Parliament. But who could have predicted that the one person standing between her and success is her old nemesis and London's undisputed lord of sin, Lord Ballentine? Or that he would be willing to hand over the reins for an outrageous price - a night in her bed.

Lucie tempts Tristan like no other woman, burning him up with her fierceness and determination every time they clash. But as their battle of wills and words fans the flames of long-smouldering devotion, the silver-tongued seducer runs the risk of becoming caught in his own snare.

As Lucie tries to outmanoeuvre Tristan in the boardroom and the bedchamber, she soon discovers there's truth in what the poets say: all is fair in love and war . . .

I love romances that start with an antagonism caused by a misunderstanding, and I adore Evie Dunmore's "League of Extraordinary Women" series in which Victorian-era suffragists can fall in love and have their happy ending regarding those romantic relationships without having to compromise their feminist values. At first, I found it a little hard to forgive Tristan's comportment to Annabelle in "Bringing Down the Duke" (and honestly, also to Arthur in the undetermined past of this book), but following Lucie and Tristran through their current acquaintance and recollections of their past acquaintance when they were children was too much fun to dwell on that point for all that long. Luckily, Tristan goes through development in that respect that was very satisfying to watch. Just as satisfying was the conclusion and how the author made the ending so different from "Bringing down the Duke" in a way that fits how these two women are different and especially have very different standings, possibilities and risks at the time period the books are set in. Their happy endings in relation to their romances needed to be different and I'm very satisfied with how the conclusions turned out. I too enjoy the fact that the male love interests are or become supporters in the suffragist cause their love interests are so very active in. Evie Dunmore seems to combine all that I like about the romance genre and rectify most that I dislike about it.

I love this series so much!

Dnf at 20%. I started the series two years ago and I just could not get into it anymore. Taste changes and that’s fine. But this just isn’t for me anymore.
