Outrageous
by Minerva Spencer
The second in the Rebels of the Ton series, this book picks up directly after the close of Notorious. Lady Eva - 19 and she acts like it - has kidnapped her brother's nemesis, Lord Visel - a 36-year-old war veteran with major trauma in his past. Although the abduction was clearly premeditated, she apparently only realizes the consequences to both of their reputations (and her faithful servant's) about a day into the trip. What follows is a comedy of errors, mostly involving bad weather, unsavory inns, and the oil-and-water temperaments of our two leads.
We had some trouble rating this book and landed on a 3.5 rounded to 4. There are definitely good aspects - the writing is not bad at all, the road trip romance is fun, and the sex scenes are steamy enough to keep us up late. That said we struggled with the age gap, the abduction schemes (before being abducted, Visel himself had planned on kidnapping Eva's sister-in-law), and the refusal of both parties to communicate with each other. We also had issues with the portrayal of the Barbary pirates/sultanate, which is a thread that runs through both books of the series.
This objective review is based on a complimentary copy of the novel.
