The Hellion and the Hero

The Hellion and the Hero


A League of Scoundrels Novel, Book 3

by Emily Sullivan


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Call this a second chance romance or a Persuasion retelling… I call it perfection!


This series has been a delight from book one and made Emily Sullivan a must read historical romance author, but The Hellion and the Hero is her best work yet! She captures the pinning and the yearning for a different outcome so beautifully and unlike in Jane Austen’s work, she delivers the STEAM!!!


Recently widowed, Lady Georgiana Arlington has been making waves. She has taken over the running of the textile mills her dower provided her deceased husband and is creating an ideal work environment for the ladies working for her. Her competition is furious and threats to her softly have worried were siblings.


In response her brother solicits the investigative skills of their former family friend and unknown to him, the man Georgiana gave up to marry the former Earl, famed war hero Captain Henry Harris.


Neither wants to work together, but the threat to her safety is real and just as serious as the rekindling of their attraction and friendship!


But too much has happened and they are both not the young open hearted optimists of their youth. Their circumstances and nations are still so vastly different that neither knows if love can be enough this time!


Such a powerful pairing! I rooted for these two from the start (or since their story was hinted at in book 2!). This is a must read for HistRom and Austen fans alike!



The Hellion and the Hero by Emily Sullivan is scheduled to release August 23rd, 2022.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
