A review by jkcantwell
A Duke for All Seasons by Fenna Edgewood
5.0
Regency Romance with a Social Conscience
The disappearance of a beloved sister following the death of another, and a terrible secret that Maggie holds intrigues the newly returned Lance. But what sets this apart from other romances is the discussion of human trafficking – sale of young women, often as sex slaves to wealthy nobles, orchestrated by more than one member of the Fagean Hall community.
Well written, this marriage of convenience story captured my heart. My favourite quote: “Bluestockings! You don’t say! Next thing you’ll be telling me they like to read and have opinions like men do. Absolutely shocking… What’s England coming to and all that.” Highly recommended.
