Eva Leigh does it again! This second book in the “Union of the Rakes” series delivers in all the ways you would expect from this author. I suspect that the overlap of “80s movie fans” and “historical Romance fans” is significant, and this book captures both genres (and all the delightful tropes) perfectly.
“Would I Lie to the Duke” manages to be a classic Romance while also taking some very nuanced digs at capitalism and economic inequity. The characters coming from different backgrounds provides a great opportunity to compare and contrast the lives of the wealthy versus those of the working class, a divide upon which the commentary is still very relevant. This theme, plus hot romance (all done through a highly feminist lens, focusing on consent) reminds us all the there is so much more to the “bodice rippers” than meets the eye.
I am sure I don't need to tell Eva Leigh fans that this one should be on your TBR list!
