4.5 stars
Two people forced to thieve and lie are both involved in a dangerous mission in Paris during the French Revolution. Widowed Gabrielle and notorious rake Ramsey can't seem to escape each other and as their individual initiatives become more dangerous they become more enmeshed in each other's lives and hearts. This is exactly the kind of historical romance that I love to read. There is adventure, danger, and a realistic historical backdrop. Both Gabrielle and Ramsey have their own lives and their on troubles that add to the story and it is always refreshing when the heroine is not a blushing innocent. This is the third book by Shana Galen that I have read and the third that I have absolutely adored. I will definitely be reading more by this author. I received an digital ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Addicted to the Duke by Bronwen Evans
3.5 stars
When Hestia was kidnapped during a voyage with her father, it was Alex, Duke of Bedford who rescued her. It was because he knew a thing or two about being held captive that he felt so connected to her, unfortunately it is his horrific captivity and opium use that makes him think that he doesn't deserve her. The is a well written historical romance that has an interesting subplot about opium and laudanum addiction. I will say the innocent, lovesick girl who doesn't give up is not my favorite plotline, which may be why I didn't enjoy it as much as I could, but overall, this is an enjoyable read.
