The Lady Gets Lucky by Joanna Shupe
Release Date: October 26th 2021
Rating: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Having read the first in this series and felt it was an enjoyable mid-pack novel, I am very glad I read this second in the series. This take on the “seduction lessons” trope was well-written and greatly enhanced by the heroine having her own, not romance related, motives and interests. Weaving in some “secret identities,” “troublesome mamas” and “more than he appears” tropes, this romance manages to be steamy while also feeling authentic to the characters.
Where the book really shines however, is the setting. Again, I love seeing gilded-age Newport, RI and the era as a whole is a very glamorous background (at least when we stick with the life of the ton, historically, not a great time for anyone else!). Additionally, the story is woven beautifully into the events of the first book in the series by starting at the house party that kicked off the series. Seeing those events again from different perspectives is great world-building.
I officially can't wait to see more in this series!
