I loved this book. It was so easy to get into and kept me interested all the way through. The characters all felt very multidimensional.

I devoured this exceptionally fun book in a few of evenings, always in large meaty chunks that ended only when I had to get on with other (less important) things.

Reputation is everything I could have hoped to read: a hilarious regency romance with modern sensibilities. Lex’s characters feel like young adults you know, and love, and hate; but they don’t feel like they are relegated to the curiosity cupboards of history. They are vital and alive, even as they are period-appropriate and (for the most part) historically accurate.

Anyway, I hope Lex writes a dozen more books. I’ve been a fan of their ~content for over a decade, and with Reputation on my shelf,  now I’m a solidified fan for life.
