The Lion's Daughter by Loretta Chase

2.0

I remember Loretta Chase's Scoundrels series being one of my early introductions to historical romance/regency, and I know I enjoyed them at the time but.... ? I was kind of struggling with The Lion's Daughter. All the elements were here that I think I like (road trip romance, BAMF women, people that are generally not TSTL) but somehow it just didn't gel together for me this time. I also found the villain irritating and nonsensical rather than interesting. Obviously there must be something here, because I know I read this entire series before in the past, and actually remember things from it fondly, but for the life of me I wasn't able to enjoy this book and it all just felt a bit dry and cardboardy. This was a 3.5* before and a 2* now, unfortunately.
