When it’s time to branch out from the Bridgerton series, KJ Charles’s new book is the one to open! 

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen includes everything amazing about regency romances. There’s a son who inherits his less than loving father’s money, a scandal, smugglers, and of course some spice! 

While the novel’s plot was slow at the beginning, the growing chemistry between forbidden lovers Gareth and Joss is worth the wait. Fans of the hit show Our Flag Means Death may be reminded of Steve Bonnet and Blackbeard, as these opposites fiercely attract! 

Whether you’re brand new to historical romances, or your shelves are overflowing, be sure to pick up a copy of this new series on March 7th! 

Many thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for the complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
