Notorious

Notorious

Rebels of the Ton, Book 1

by Minerva Spencer


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5


An excellent start to a new series!


Drusilla Clare does not expect to ever marry and thus she has created a satisfactory life working with her charities for the betterment of women and the poor… that is until she is almost compromised by a mad rake! Now she is to marry her best friends brother, whom she has loved since she met him… but Never has been able to have a civil conversation with!!! Oh boy!


Gabriel Marlington came to his mothers home country of England five years ago and turned his back on her Berber roots. As the favoured son of his Sultan father he would have had many wives, now as an Englishman, he will have one… and not even of his choosing! Honour bound to save the reputation of his sisters’ friend, he must now marry a woman who doesn’t even like him!


Oh my! What a wild ride it is as these two try to find common ground and eventually work together to defeat an even bigger foe! Drusilla and Gabriel are both so hard headed and stubborn, it was fun to see who would bend first, but they both would have to bend in order to find their happiness together.


I also loved how the author represented Gabriel heritage and his struggle at assimilating with British life, while still trying to stay true to himself.



This is a must read, top shelf historical romance. Great characters, story and witty banter to keep you reading!



Notorious by Minerva Spencer is scheduled to release November

 24th, 2020.


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
