Looking forward to Dom’s story in book 3, A Rogue’s Rules for Seduction. Tabitha’s intellectual friend group is also populated by POCs and a lesbian couple. Tabitha needs a husband, and an infamous, handsome gambler may be her best bet. But to be taken seriously in a male dominated academic world she must marry.
After a disastrous first season, Tabitha Seaton is focusing on books instead of ballrooms.
On the upside, steamy scenes have real sizzle (whew!), and I enjoyed the allusions/parallels to current institutions dominated by white men. However, his father has made it clear he must marry or lose his inheritance. I mean, who wouldn’t want that? But as much as I loved all the adorable, thoughtful, sexy ways Finn went out of his way to make a marriage of convenience not just palatable, but actually totally satisfying for our bluestocking heroine, I left the story going, but what about Finn’s dreams and ambitions?! He’s barely viewed as a worthy spare in “heir and a spare!”Īnd I know, I know, how many stories are “behind every great man is a great woman (who carried a lot of water while the guy got the glory).” Why shouldn’t the roles be reversed? I agree, but also, more equal time!! We know Finn’s dream, so….?
