A review by troxelm
Infamous by Minerva Spencer

emotional hopeful medium-paced

4.0

I wanted to love this book for the premise alone, and Minerva Spencer did NOT disappoint.  While the "incomparable beauty come down in the world" is hardly a new trope, our heroine Celia wasn't known for her kindness, and more than one person celebrated her fall from grace.  Ten years later, she has no choice but to attend the wedding of her former nemesis, and finds an unlikely hero in the man she once make a mockery of before the ton.  Spencer does a marvelous job of flipping and twisting some of the best romance tropes for characters who have both depth and heart, and enough self-awareness to recognize their own shortcomings.  A little bit Mean Girls, and a little bit Cinderella, this open-door romance has a lot to like for fans of heroines who rescue themselves and find love along the way.
