A Relentless Rake
by Anna Harrington
My Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐/ 5
Perfect for those with Bridgerton/Regency historical romance withdrawals, this 4th installment of the Lords of the Armory series really hit the spot. I had not read the other books, but I had no problem following along and understanding what was going on. Alex Sinclair, Earl of St. James, is a notorious rake and also tasked by the Home Office to investigate the attempted assassination of the Prime Minister. All clues lead to Henry Everett, a mathematician - and his school teacher sister, Olivia, who seem to be holding her own secrets about her past.
After reading a historical romance, I try to remember if I actually learned a historical fact and in this case, it was the assassination attempts during this time period. As a simple, quick, Regency romance, this fits the box. The chemistry between Olivia and Alex is evident, but Alec’s hot/cold behavior drove me nuts especially when her secret wasn’t really something to be that mad about. It turned me off of him and left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Tropes: opposites attract, rich/poor; hidden identity
