Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women)

I loved this historical romance. It gave me some Pride and Prejudice feels and I really enjoyed the focus on women's rights during that time period. I can't wait for book two!

I read this book for my book club. I'm to understand that it created waves in "Romancelandia" for being a historical romance featuring suffragettes, which is quite novel in itself! But did it live up to its hype?
Honestly, I'm the type of reader who has learned not to put trust in popularity. So that it mind, no it wasn't this searingly brilliant romance, but it's does easily stand out from the pack. It didn't have any of the problems I usually complain about in romance novels - that is, total lack of communication! (TALK THROUGH YOUR ISSUES PEOPLE!!! GAWD!!!!!) I was a little confused by the gravity of and didn't totally buy their obstacles, but who knows! Maybe there Is a niche piece of Victorian protocol that I didn't actually know about!
All the same, the book tackles the romance with maturity and the gimmick with intelligence.

Love how strong both of the MC‘s are in personalities.  I love their overall growth in being vulnerable This is a book. I would definitely read again. I do find it hilarious for myself that I was reading this book while watching season four of Bridgerton and they both have the same question “ will you be my mistress?” that made me want to throw the book at the TV screen for asking the same question and at the same moment

This was my second read through and it's still just as good as the first time I read it. I loved this book and I think it's the best of the series. All of the following books are good in their own right, but the first one just hits different. Love it!
