Spencer gives you all the feels!”—Sabrina Jeffries“Brilliantly crafted…an irresistible cocktail of smart characterization, sophisticated sensuality, and sharp wit.” —Booklist STARRED REVIEW “Sparkling…impossible not to love.” —PopsugarFans of Evie Dunmore, Sarah MacLean, and Eloisa James will delight in this innovative, empowering, and sexy story from acclaimed author Minerva Spencer. Join the Rebels of the Ton as they subvert Regency norms and expectations…and manage to find true love along the way. The cure for a willful wife . . . Drusilla Clare is full of opinions about why a woman shouldn’t marry. But that doesn’t stop the rush of desire she feels each time her best friend’s brother, notorious rake Gabriel Marlington, crosses her path. So imagine her dismay when she finds herself in the clutches of a scoundrel, only to be rescued by Gabriel himself. And when Gabriel’s heartless—and heart-pounding—proposal comes, it’s enough to make Dru’s formidable resolve crumble . . . . . . is a smitten husband. She’s sharp-tongued, exasperating—and due to one careless moment—about to become his wife. Still, something about Drusilla has Gabriel intrigued. First there’s the delicious flush of her skin every time she delivers a barb—and then the surprisingly sensual feel of her in his arms. Gabriel even finds himself challenged by her unusual philosophies. And when he discovers a clandestine rival for Dru’s affection, his temperature flares even hotter. But the real threat to their happiness is one neither of the newlyweds sees coming. If they’re to save their future—and their very lives—they’ll need to trust in each other and their growing love. “Packed full of fiery exchanges and passionate embraces, this is for those who prefer their Regencies on the scandalous side.” —Library Journal “Strong, complex, and believable.”—Publishers WeeklyBook Notorious: A Thrilling Historical Regency Romance Saga (Rebels of the Ton Book 1) Review :
Yes I used the "R" word - it's clear a white lady wrote this book trying to be "inclusive" but failing? I get what she was trying to do, but unfortunately it reinforced the subconscious racist biased thinking she was maybe trying to bring attention to.The beginning is so heavy on how this Muslim, Brown man has misogynist views because of his religion/upbringing. Though she tried to show that it's bad how London society looks at Gabriel as a savage, his character inherently (re)acts in ways that end up reinforcing that trope (e.g: his possessiveness, rage) whereas the actions of the white men, he's pitted against, are more refined - even when they are engaging in vile pursuits (or doing the same). Similarly the fetishizing of his attractiveness (exotic looks, animalistic sexual nature) to a white audience (both with the characters & probably the readers of this book) just felt very....gross. As a reader of the same background, I was very hurt by the characterizations. I will say, I appreciated the focus on being an outsider/not fitting in, but I don't think that was enough to out weigh the negatives - I tried reading this three times and finally gave up. ***This review is a wee bit spoilerish, please proceed with caution.***Now, normally I would cut my losses early with a story that doesn’t work for me. In this case, I had heard a lot about Minerva Spencer and her fabulous storytelling abilities, so persevered waiting for the fabulous to start happening. Unfortunately, I only read romance and this story was one of the least romantic I have read in a long time. At 92% I was still waiting for the fabulous to happen and HATED the Hero.I think the main problem was that it was a little too historically accurate for my liking. Minerva Spencer seems to take glee in promoting a hero who is misogynistic, shallow, and has double standards. I was not impressed with the hero visiting his mistress (one of two) and kissing and cuddling her the day before his wedding. Then, he proceeded to shove his mistresses (who have now been promoted to ‘friends’) down his wife’s throat by visiting them regularly. If the author wanted me to see his growth from mistress to a loving relationship with his new wife, she failed. Their relationship was nothing more than the hero replacing his mistresses with a new one, titled ‘Wife’.Then, we have the supposedly strong-minded heroine with unusual opinions … blah, blah, blah … equal rights … blah, blah, blah … feminism … blah, blah, blah … I just didn't feel it. I’m told that the heroine believed and followed Mary Wollstonecraft’s philosophies, but there was no proof besides 'talk' of meetings between likeminded individuals. At the first stumbling block, the heroine forgoes all that she stood for previously and succumbs to the sexual allure of her handsome husband. Again, this is probably historically accurate because women didn’t really get a choice back in the day. Why start with a description of this forward-thinking woman and not show her as one?One of the biggest failings with this couple and their relationship is their lack of communication. The heroine expected the hero to read her mind. The hero didn’t think the heroine was entitled to his thoughts and opinions … unless they were directed to her failings and perceived disloyalty. It took way too long for this couple to have a genuine conversation.If I don’t like the hero, there’s a pretty good chance that I won’t like the story. While there were some improvements with their communication by the end, it was just a little too late. Even when it was time for this couple to come together to fight the villain, it seemed they were still on different pages.I liked that the hero was original with a mixed heritage, and we get to know a little about his history and the struggles he faced moving to London. The hero’s past was ugly and very different from his fellow Londoners. He made every effort to fit in and change his beliefs, the way he talked and dressed. While in some ways he was accepted, there were still many times that he was treated differently. Luckily for him, his mother was the daughter of a Duke, and that connection helped him in society. I’m not 100% sure of the historical accuracy in this part, but I imagined the author wasn’t too far off the mark.Two stars for Notorious. While this story was lacking in romance and I struggled to see a happy ever after for the couple, there were parts that I found interesting.To each, his own and all that jazz, don't judge this book on my opinion alone. Take the time to read what others say, and you may find Notorious works perfectly for you.Stacey is Sassy, received an advanced copy of this story.
