THE GENTLEMAN’S GAMBIT by EVIE DUNMORE

“We broke your spectacles, too … I shall fix them for you.”

The Arabic language offered many romantic possibilities, at least eleven different words for love to precisely capture the various stages of the emotion, and perhaps, secretly, she had expected more elaborate verbal wooing from him. Yet here he was, making her swoon with a plain I shall fix them for you.

Now she knew why girls were not allowed to feel anger—there was a reckless hope in it, and power.

RECO OF THE WEEK!

Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore

Synopsis:

"England, 1879. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for.

Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle. He is looking for a wife of equal standing to secure the legacy he has worked so hard to rebuild, not an outspoken commoner who could never be his duchess. But he wouldn't be the greatest strategist of the Kingdom if he couldn't claim this alluring bluestocking without the promise of a ring... or could he?

Locked in a battle with rising passion and a will matching her own, Annabelle will learn just what it takes to topple a duke...."

I didn't end up reviewing this book, but I remember loving the romance and the badass women and their friendships. If you love historical romance with some pretty impressive women, then you might love this one!

May Reads 📚

*Book Lovers by Emily Henry - 5/5

Happy Place by Emily Henry - 4/5

The Summer Girl (Avalon Bay #3 ARC) by Elle Kennedy - 3.5~4/5

*Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore - 5/5

*A Rouge of One's Own (ALOEW #2) - 5/5

*Portrait of a Scotsman (ALOEW #3) - 4.85/5

A better month than the last one but full of rereads! Rereading Book Lovers was just so 🤌🏼 and it hit the spot so good! Happy Place was so good and so angsty; I said this in my GR review but it really hits on that ache of adulthood and all the changes that come with it. The Summer Girl arc was pleasantly surprising and to me, it redeemed the series because the first two books of that series sucked lol. Then wrapped up my birthday month with one of my favorite historical romance series everrrrr. Overall, good reading month!!

*marked for rereads

What book are you finishing up the year with?

Unless I squeeze in another audio before I go back to work on the 3rd, I'll be ending the year with 'The Gentleman's Gambit' by Evie Dunmore. Which is fitting, as I read the last book, 'Portrait of a Scotsman', two years ago around this time. I believe this is the last of the League of Extraordinary Women series as it's the last story of the friend group established in 'Bringing Down the Duke'.

I picked up 'Bringing Down the Duke' on a whim in 2020 (I forget who recced it, but I trusted their opinion), and found one of my favorite genres—historical romance. I hadn't read many romances at this point, but this was definitely a jumping off point (along with 'Well Met' and 'Red White and Royal Blue'.) Highly recommend this series if you like badass ladies, the hand scene from Pride & Prejudice, and social commentary. (Also, peep the queer rep with bisexual icon Tristan in book 2. 😉)
