Thank you to Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion. 

I've been a huge fan of the Halifax Hellions, and was so excited to read this full length novel set in the same world!

I love a steamy regency romp! Enter Peter Kent, the newest Duke of Stanhope. A fish it off water, Peter was never meant to become the Duke. He grew up, raised by his mother, in New Orleans. After his father's passing, he inherited the dukedom, and finds out about his two half siblings! On a mission to gain guardianship of them, despite his terrible reputation (thanks in part to his radical politics) he enlists the help of Lady Selina Ravenscroft - a most proper lady of unimpeachable characters...

Or so everyone thinks! But Selina has a secret! She runs an erotic circulating library -The Venus Catalog - exclusively for women - but no one knows she's in charge. 

On a mission to find the perfect bride for Peter, Selina tries her matchmaking skills with 3 of the most upstanding ladies she can think of, but can they each get past their mutual Attraction to each other? 

Scandal after scandal, I really enjoyed this novel. At times it did feel a little long, but the last third of the book really picked up. I couldn't put it down! Definitely check this one out if you like a lot of steam (there's more steamy moments than I was expecting!), loveable characters who get into sticky situations, a great cast of secondary characters, and a couple twists and turns along the way!
