Look. Okay. I love Minerva Spencer. And I loved this book. Infamous is a wonderful addition to a trilogy I absolutely adore (and honestly hope it continues beyond a trilogy let me dream please). Having read all three Rebels of the Ton books, I have to admit that the first, Notorious, is still my favorite. It’s the one I found first and it just has a special place in my heart. However, Spencer’s writing and story telling is so damn enjoyable, I’ve decided I need to read all of her works.
But back to the book at hand.
Richard is my bread and butter: a buff nerd oblivious to most human emotions and interactions. Yes, please. And Celia is such a complex woman, I absolutely love her. She has repented tenfold for an innocent “crime” that really isn’t much more than a teenage idea of a joke. You really see how much she’s grown from her youth to the woman she is. She really is a fantastic, deeply rich, and lovable heroine.
This is such a good story and I recommend it to anybody. Romance? Read this book? Regency era? Read this book. Pure smut? Read this trilogy!
