This was a cute and fun romance. Though I am gonna be honest, I am pretty sure I have read it before...nope, not this book, just one with a totally similar premise. But hey, who cares, it was still fun and amusing.
Olivia wants to save the world. And also to marry Lord Carson since her sister failed to. And she does fancy him so that is good.
Edward is a bastard. The ton does not approve, but luckily his dad is really rich. He is kind and lovely and why is the ton so evil! His dad loved his mum. His dad has raised him and still they turn their noses.
Olivia decides that Edward is her next project and he lets her (cos she is so cute and fun). Obviously they fall in love. Lord Carson, well he just have to find someone else to marry (though he does not really care.)

It took me over a month to finish this book, and that's the best proof that this book dragged endlessly. In theory, I should've loved it but idk, it just didn't click for me. The heroine was pretty annoying and the hero was boring af. Although I am tempted to find out what happened to other sisters, that's why I'll give this book 2 stars.

Lady Be Reckless is delicious, delightful, humorous and fairly hot. Olivia was outrageous, but in a nice way, and Edward with all his confidence was still a man who felt the need to prove himself.

I wasn't sure I would finish this book. After mostly enjoying the first book, I went into this book intrigued by where the next sister would go. Except, she didn't feel like the same sister for the most part. The book didn't make clear how much time had passed -- it was mentioned that the older sister had been married about a year, and later the heroine refers to her self as 20. I'm certain she was not 19 in the first book.
Regardless, she is passionate and immature, which is a combination that made me want to smack her. The hero is interesting, and his predicament is real, and I'm not sure why he was interested in the heroine at the beginning.
I pushed through to the end, and I was rewarded by personal growth from the heroine. I'll leave it at that.

Fantastic book! I've had a bit of a dud reading week and this just renewed my love for historicals once more. I've quite a few of Megan's books and they just keep getting better and better. I think this one is perhaps my favorite so far. Olivia is a great female lead: strong, stalwart, and she actually learns from her mistakes. I love her growth in this book. Edward is amazing and very much worthy of Olivia (and vice versa). I just love him. If you like strong characters, lots of chemistry, and loads of heart, this book is for you! I can't wait for the next book in the series. :)

Update: This was the perfect reread audiobook bc I didn’t need to focus much as I remembered most of it and still thoroughly enjoyed the characters! Jilly Bond committed crimes with the narration though

This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceI received this book for free from Avon in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Lady Be Reckless is the second book in her Duke's Daughters series. It took me a while to read this one, I just wasn't in the mood for it but this past week I knuckled down and picked it up and I am so glad that I did because I had such a fun time with this book. Which normally I do with this author. I love the wit and charm that was displayed in this story here. We have a story with a heroine that helps match couples. Our hero has been pushed by his ailing father to marry before he dies. So he asks Olivia for help in finding a wife, when secretly he is in love with Olivia and wants her for himself but knowing he isn't good enough for her since he doesn't have a title and is a working man but very sucessful.
I found this book to be witty and fun and full of charm and the romance that develops between these two was so endearing. I loved seeing another of the sisters fall in love and fight for that love. I really did enjoy that this book had low angst, since I was in the mood for a soft and sweet love story that made me laugh and this book did it for me so wonderfully. Simple a fully satisfying and compelling read that I fell head over heels in love with and I can't wait for more!!

She made him remember, she thought, who he truly was. An intelligent, thoughful, proud man who apparently did not like being called adorable.

This installment in the Duke's Daughters series features Lady Olivia, a girl who has realized the injustices in the world and seeks to solve all the problems. One of those just happens to be garnering the acceptance of Mr. Wolcott, a bastard, into polite society and finding him a respectable society wife (despite his low birth). Over the course of their acquaintance they become friends, then more.
The idea of a non-titled bastard being at all accepted by the Ton - much less being able to marry into a titled family - was so farfetched that it took me out of the story. Additionally, Lady Olivia was so self-righteous in her pompous crusading that she was an extremely annoying character. What kept me reading was the overall quality of the writing and Lady Olivia's sisters, Ida and Pearl, who's personalities were more interesting and who's stories I'd like to read.
