Did I love this more than the first?

An entertaining page turner. I loved Lucie and Tristan's story. Evie is definitely an auto read and buy author for me now. I'm so excited for Hattie and Lucian's story in September 2021. I know it will be a fun read.

Evie Dunmore can NOT write anything except PERFECTION .
With her books , she gave a new definition to historical romance in my mind .
Honest to God, Now, I rate all the books in this genre according to her masterpieces , with every Historical romance I read , my mind directly starts comparing the characters , content , plot to her books ( which I know isn't fair for others , guilty ! ) .
( A rogue of One's own ) was interesting , addictive , charming , hot , sweet and emotional .
With each word, I got more and more attached to Lucie and Tristan , their chemistry was incredible .
I love how well Dunmore do her research before writing her books , reading all the interesting facts she adds in her stories , makes the experience of reading romance more fascinating .
I would recommend this book for everyone , not just romance lovers .
But , if you are a fan of " enemies to lovers " trope , you can't miss this one .

Author Dunmore creates chemistry between two characters with ease. The foursome of heroines she created are smart, witty and confident. Book 2 in the series was just as fun as the first. I am looking forward to the next: Hattie's story and maybe hear a bit more about where Lucie and Tristan are now.

Side note: I love the book covers!

This was such a fun read. I loved the machinations of the suffragettes and the banter between the main characters. Can't wait to pick up the next book in the series.

Debut author Evie Dunmore delivers a humorous, suspenseful, and romantic historical fiction series. Set in the late 1800s England, Dunmore explores the gender and social roles in a time when the aristocracy was in decline and the national suffrage movement was gaining traction. A Rogue of One’s Own follows the story of Lady Lucie, a leader of the suffragettes who is on the verge of being able to invest in a publishing house with the goal to propel the suffragette’s agenda. Her biggest obstacle now is Lord Ballentine, society’s famous rogue.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the other two in this series. Though the two main characters have a clear connection, their relationship never seemed to click into a higher gear. There was some problematic representation of a queer character as well, which really took me out of the story.

I am loving this series!! It combines my loves of Brits, historical fiction, and debauchery in suffragist England. We dabbled in the risqué in Annabelle and Montgomery’s story, but we went full on here! I adore how Tristan and Lucie act with each other and how they protect each other even if it means killing their own reputation. It has Bridgerton vibes with strong female characters, and the right amount of lust and passion. Reading the next one soon!

I wasn't sure if I would like this one as much as Bringing Down the Duke, but I did! Definitely one that I can see myself rereading. I love that these books are a mixture of historical and modern.

I read this book for free. I found that it did not hold my interest as well as the first. I thought Tristan and Lucie did things as they were not loved well as children. Tristan's father was abusive and Tristan had a poet heart and a care for Lucie. He finally gets his love but it doesn't end in Marriage as they fight for ending women becoming property after they were married. I feel Lucie was smart but naive. I will still read other books by this author

Unlike the first book in this series, I had a hard time getting into this book. Overall I enjoyed the book's premise of two unlikely partnership turns into love. I appreciate Dunmore's smart and strong heroines, however, I found Lucie to be a bit cold and distant. I wanted to get to know more of her vulnerability and would have liked to have seen the tension between her parents, particularly, her mother a bit more. I did love Tristan's character development. The plot and side characters did become convoluted and dragged the pace a bit, but I did ultimately enjoy the book.

A wonderful and funny historical romance romp. I loved the heroine's spunk and the hero was swoonworthy!

f you liked Bridgerton, you will love this series. Evie Dunmore has created a saucy Victorian romance with a a bit of comic relief. This is the second book in the series portraying the trials of Lucy who is a destined suffrage spinster. She has decided that her freedom is worth more than being owned by a man and she is willing to fight the laws that bind her to a husband. But life doesn't go as she planned and she makes a plan with her nemesis, Tristan, leading to finding her true love.

Took me a long time to get into this book. I don't know if it was more me, or the book. But it felt *too* slow. I'm normally one for loving a SLOWBURN, but this one just didn't hit the spot.

I do think that a number of people will enjoy this book, though.

An enjoyable historical romance set in Victorian Oxford. Suffragette Lucy faces off with handsome noble Tristan and sparks fly! The second in a series, this title will appeal to fans of Bridgerton.

I was so excited to get my hands on this title, as I absolutely adored Evie Dunmore's debut - and it did not disappoint! Feminism, class struggles, and a handsome rake with (hopefully) a heart of gold? Sign me up.

Lucie is ready for the revolution. She's tired of women being written off and barred from the ways of the world. She has a plan, but now she needs the capital to back it up. Enter Tristan, a devilishly handsome rake from Lucie's past - with a deal she won't be able to resist. Or will she?

Another fun, fast-paced romp through the League of Extraordinary Women!

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkeley for advance access to this title!

I definitely enjoyed this book, and liked it even more than the first. I love strong female characters and Dunmore does a great job of writing them. I thought the banter funny, and the reveal at the end was swoon-worthy. Much love to Evie and her suffragettes, I can't wait to read the next book.

Lady Lucie is a suffragette in Victorian Oxford. Along with her group of friends, they purchase shares in a publishing house. However, after the purchase, she discovers that she shares ownership with Tristan, aka Lord Ballantine, her childhood friend with a rakish reputation. Lucie plans to use the publishing house to promote her cause, but she doesn’t have a controlling share of the company. Tristan says he sell her some of his shares, in exchange for a night with her. That goes against everything Lucie stands for, but Tristan becomes very hard to resist.

Lucie and Tristan had a long past since their families were friends since they were children. Despite this connection, they didn’t get along. Tristan had a reputation of being with a different woman every night, which is the opposite of what Lucie stood for. Since they had such strong feelings against each other, it became clear that they would eventually get together. This was a great enemies to lovers story.

Lucie was such a strong woman with clear goals of getting women’s rights. She was adamant that she wanted to be a single woman. I was concerned that she would give up this part of her personality to be with Tristan, because they would have to get together to fulfill the ending of this romance. I won’t give away the ending, but I was pleased with how this worked out in the end.

I loved this steamy Victorian romance!

Thank you Berkley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I can't get enough of these stories! They are so clever and so good with the historical setting, AND the romance is just fabulous. I recommend them to everyone I know and will continue to do so as we get more! Can't wait for the next in this series!

Evie Dunmore’s books are just SO fun to read. I love her characters and her witty dialogue. This definitely held up to the first book for me, and I’m excited for the next one.

I really enjoyed this! It was sassy, which I love, but also a little bit heartwarming! I loved the addition of the cat as a character, just popping up at random moments. The romance was absolutely a hate-to-love sort, and I was into it! The pacing seemed a little bit off at times, but it didn’t hurt the story much, so it was fine with me! If you’ve read the first one in this series, this is for you! And anyone that loves a good historical romance - but if you haven’t read the first one, check it out first, so you can meet the characters. I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley, thank you to them. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
