Don't You Dare, My Dear by Charlie Lane
5.0
Thank you to WOLF Publishing, Charlie Lane, and Netgalley for the advanced reader copy. This review was left voluntarily and the opinions are my own.
Katherine is a widow who has protected, sheltered, and unwittingly coddled her younger sister Chrissy. Katherine receives a proposal from Edmund, Viscount Escher. The proposal is upstaged by Edmund's father, the Earl, proposing to Chrissy. Katherine rejects Edmund's proposal out of propriety. They end up living under the same roof and share a heated Christmas Eve several years later when Katherine arrives at his bedroom door. Katherine never comes to him again and Edmund has decided he will not marry unless it's her. Katherine has a plan to write a new book and reprint her very poplar out of print novel. This plan would allow her to have financial independence so that she can leave the Earl and Chrissy's household.
Fast forward a little bit and a young lady tried to compromise Edmund to force him to marry her. Katherine and Edmund work together to lay matchmaker to this young lady to save both their reputations. Edmund also helps Katherine by being her muse for her writing.
This book was an excellent example of humorous, well written, Regency romance. There was a moderate amount of spice and the plot was unique and refreshing. The characters get a satisfying HEA. It checked off all my boxes for a novel in this time period.
