Her Adventures in Temptation by Megan Frampton
3.5
✨If you ask me if I love him, I’d lie✨
~Vague Spoilers Below~
This was a super sweet addition to the School for Scoundrels series! Myrtle and Simeon understood each other so deeply, and it was extremely endearing watching them fall in love. Both main characters were extremely likable and rather lonely, which is a great combination if I do say so myself.
I will say, there was a rather gloomy cloud hanging over everything since they were both adamant on not getting married—and once they both changed their minds, they didn’t tell each other and it was obvious how the third act would play out from a mile away…
So while it wasn’t the most exciting romance I’ve read recently, I was still blown away by the quiet way they loved each other. Simeon got her a dog to be her companion because she only had one friend (Simeon); he could always count on Myrtle to be honest in his world of pretty words and white lies.
They really belonged together which is honestly the most important qualification in a romance, so I couldn’t be too miffed when the plot got a bit drawn out at the end. I would’ve liked a bit more of his half sister and watching them bond as siblings/her guardian, but it was a fun little plot line as it was.
I’ll definitely be back for book four and Fenton’s tragic woes. I’d recommend reading the series in order—maybe I’m biased because book one is my favorite—but you could totally read this as a standalone!
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 🌶️🌶️.75*/5
*There were a few spicy scenes, but I think their hobbies could’ve played more of a role. I just really want some nude painting! (This has been influenced by me reading a few artist romances recently with NO nude painting of the other MC! Gah!) Weaving math into it a bit more could’ve been fun as well. But Frampton writes a good sex scene, so this is just musing more than anything.
Thanks so much to the publisher for an eARC via NetGalley. All opinions are honest and my own.
