A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel

Overall rating: 4.3⭐

I read The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen just last month, and as soon as I was done, I requested this audiobook on NetGalley. K.J. Charles writes MLM historical romance deliciously. The romance, the intrigue, the tension, the chemistry... Her writing pulls you in with great descriptions of its settings, loveable characters, just kiss already vibes, and soon you lose herself in her story.

I highly recommend reading both of the books, even if you don't usually read historical romances. I don't read much histrom either, but these two were some of the top romances of the year for me. I read both in one sitting.

ANGTSAS is set in the same world as TSLOCG, only 13 years later, with Luke Doomsday as one of the two main characters. Both of the books involve a person whose life suddenly changes thanks to an inheritance, and a member of the Doomsdays, a family of smugglers in Kent. Despite having a similar premise on the surface, ANGTSAS has a completely different feel and dynamic, while keeping the adorable-ness and spiciness the same.

I loved the relationship between Rufus and Luke. I loved how they cared for each other, all the tension and chemistry between them, how they both change and grow. Luke's emotional journey was especially well done. Their relationship starts so unsure but over time really grows to be strong where they can trust and rely on each other. And the spice..!
