And, as much as Tristan secretly likes Lucie, she only further complicates matters. He’ll do what he can to break free from his father’s chains, but the odds are stacked against him. Meanwhile, Tristan has his own problems to deal with: A ruthless father blackmailing him, with his unwell mother being used as a pawn against him. What’s a feminist to do under such circumstances? Lucie loathes him, yet she needs that publishing house. He’s actually willing to give up some of his control of the publishing house to Lucie… for an indecent price. The only problem standing in her way is her lifelong nemesis, Tristan. Here, Lucie is working to gain control of a London publishing house so she can spread suffragist information far and wide. We’d also briefly met Lord Tristan Ballentine during a dance scene with Annabelle, though that didn’t go so well. We first met Lady Lucinda (Lucie) Tedbury – secretary of the National Society for Women’s Suffrage – in the first book, in which she provided Annabelle with a scholarship to attend Oxford. Dare I say that A Rogue of One’s Own may be even better than its predecessor?! Quite the feat, considering how much I loved the first one! SummaryĪ historical romance, A Rogue of One’s Own takes us to England in 1880. I could hardly wait for the second book to come out, and I was thrilled when it was included as a Book of the Month pick for September.

Last year, I read and loved Evie Dunmore‘s debut novel, Bringing Down the Duke, the first in her A League of Extraordinary Women series.
