I was so excited to start a new series by Tracey Summer.
Book Description
A defiant society outcast.
A scandalous rogue who doesn’t believe in love.
And a passionate wager.
Daughter of an earl, Lady Hildegard Templeton hasn’t conformed to what society expects from a woman of her station. Industrious and unique, she’s created an emboldened organization for women on the cusp of marriage, The Duchess Society. Called a bluestocking to her face and worse behind closed salon doors, she vows to marry for love. And nothing but. Although the emotion has yet to show itself to her. Until she meets him.
Bastard son of a viscount and king of London’s sordid streets, Tobias Streeter has spent a lifetime building his empire, and he needs the Duchess Society to find a suitable wife to ensure his place in society. But he vows his search will have nothing to do with love and everything to do with vengeance. Until he meets her.
Soon, Tobias and Hildy’s plans are in turmoil as they must choose between achieving their goals or life filled with love.
About Tracy Summer
When not writing sizzling love stories about feisty heroines and their temperamental-but-entirely-lovable heroes, Tracy enjoys reading, snowboarding, college football (Go Tigers!), yoga, and travel. She loves to hear from romance readers!
My Thoughts
I discovered Tracy Sumner a few months back and have quickly become a fan of her writing.
The Brazen Bluestocking is the first installment of the wonderful series. Though there is a reference to a character from a previous book it doesn't take away from this story being a stand-alone book.
This story is about Tobias and Hildy. Tobias is a man from the streets who grew up and worked hard to make it in the world. He with the help of a close friend has built an industry that thrives. But Tobias has a weakness he has a heart of gold and helps the people who come from the same streets he did.
Hildy is the daughter of a disgraced earl who was abusive. She is working hard to make it on her own and decides to partner with a friend to build the Duchess Society. I group that helps women build strong marriages that they are safe in.
When Hildy goes to investigate Tobias for his upcoming engagement and marriage to Mattie, she realizes that she is attracted to him. The chemistry between them is so intense.
This story is a wonderful story of wanting what you shouldn't and yet getting it. The chemistry between Hildy and Tobias is wonderful and their pull to one another is strong. I absolutely; loved the story. I love the whole bad boy with a heart and a strong woman taking care of herself. This book had everything I wanted love, steam, and a great story with depth.
