5 stars I received an ARC of this book from the author. I always enjoy her League of Rogues series and this was no exception. Of course, now the series has expanded to include brothers and friends of the original Rogues. This story is about Peregrine, who unexpectedly becomes an Earl when his distant uncle died, and Sabrina, a girl reliant upon her brother and wife because she is unmarried. Unfortunately (and fortunately), Sabrina’s brother decides to marry her off to an earl to pay off his debts, and the earl, whom Sabrina does not want to marry, stipulates that she must be a virgin. Seeing a way out, she attends a masquerade ball with the intention of sabotaging her brother’s plans. There she meets Peregrine. It’s a magical evening and they never exchange names before Sabrina mysteriously disappears, but they are both deeply affected by the experience and pine for the other. Naturally, they do meet again and blah, blah, blah, the HEA eventually arrives. Although the lovers need to go through hell first before they find their way back to one another. I really enjoyed the book. It is well-written, conveying the emotions of Peregrine and Sabrina realistically, and although Sabrina leads a bit of a charmed life after leaving home, it furthers the plot so it’s okay. I particularly liked the plot because it’s not often (if ever) that you run across a regency romance in which the woman wants to lose her virginity to avoid an unwanted marriage. I thought it was very clever and I recommend it. October 18, 2021
