Huge thanks to Entangled Publishing and the author for the ARC of Emma Theriault’s historical romance, A Lady Would Know Better.
While we keep hearing that historical romance is “dead” I know I’m not alone in refusing to accept this! Let me know in the comments if you’re a HissyRoNo fan and your faves!
This romp of a romance pubs January 28, 2025, which means if you’re in Canada, you can buy it during the GST/HST tax break and save some money!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading ALWKB; strong female characters, a family of siblings who are devoted to each other, shenanigans, mystery….
Readers should be aware that grief is very present in the book; all deaths are off page and before the book starts, but they are referenced. Be gentle with your heart if you choose to read this book.
Emma writes so well - even amidst the themes of grief and loss, there is so much humour. She writes her characters with care, making them fully dimensional (even when the FMC is dealing with amnesia!) and this made me root for the FMC and MMC while also not-so-secretly hoping we get stories for the siblings so we can spend time with each of them.
If you enjoyed Duchess Material, Ne’er Duke Well, or Hot Earl Summer, I think you’ll enjoy this one.
