The Viscount Made Me Do It

The Viscount Made Me Do It


A Clandestine Affairs Novel, Book #2

by Diana Quincy


⭐⭐⭐⭐/5


Hanna Zaydan has dedicated her life to her practice of bonsetting, so much so as to claim that she is married to her work. It’s not lake Andy of the good Arab boys her family try to set her up withhold ever permit their wife to continue in her practice. Hannnah has not even noticed what she is missing until Mr. Thomas comes to her practice to treat an injury that has left him in pain and his arm useless for 2 years.


Thomas Ellis, Viscount Griffin spied Mrs. Zayden in a coffee shop wearing a necklace that was on his mother at the time of her death- a death he has been blamed for since his youth. Under the guise of treating his old injury he goes to her practice to find out how she got his mothers necklace. 


Over the course of treatment, she heals his arm and captures his heart! But these two are not just from different classes, they are from ethnicities and Hannah risks being banished from her family by romancing an outsider…


Where do I start, Lord Griffin is a bit of a bubblehead, he has so much going on around him but is unable to see anything until he gets a fresh perspective from Hannah. Also, it is easy to see that an affair between them would have devastating effects for Hannah; loosing her practice and family, but Griff continues to pursue her until he is explicitly warn of what he will cost her. 


Other than Griffin needing Hannah much more than she needed him, these two really did make a good pair. So I forgive Griff for his pursuit. I loved that Hannah continually showed strength in difficult circumstances and didn’t give in too easy to Griff’s charms. Hannah’s extreme competency in her line of work was a delight to read too- she was unapologetic about her skill and abilities.


Another highlight of this book was getting to see a lot of Hannah’s family, especially her grandmother, citi and her brother Rafi. Citi was a hoot and Rafi needs a story and an HEA of his own!


This diverse historical romance delivers a story that stays true to the characters situations and I loved it. We need more books like this.



The Viscount Made Me Do It by Diana Quincy is scheduled to release July 27th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through Edelweiss+. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
