Welcome to Litsy!

First in the Rogues to Riches series, this was a good book but just not as great as I normally expect from Burrowes. The story involves a wealthy London banker Quinn Wentworth who is framed and sentenced to death for a murder he didn‘t commit. While awaiting execution, he meets a preacher‘s daughter, Jane Winston, who is a pregnant widow forced to rely on her pious and unfeeling father for her and her child‘s well-being. He offers her marriage 🔻

This may be one of the most contemporary historical romances I‘ve ever read. Burrowes is playing with and subverting all of the tropes here, along with a healthy dose of inclusivity, and I am here for it.

Finally had time to relax and read. Friends have been talking about the pros of light romances, so I thought I‘d start with this one. It delivers - fun, romantic, with a mystery and of course, the happy ending. Added benefit is it‘s not Dostoyevsky - I can finish it in a day before something comes up and takes me away from reading (Yes, it does happen!)

I really enjoyed this audiobook, it‘s so light and funny. A #romantsy with plenty of heat and heart ♥️

Starting a fun new #romantsy on the CloudLibrary App. Quinn is about to hang for a murder he didn‘t commit when he meets Jane, the minister‘s daughter and marries her just before his execution. Hi jinks ensue when Quinn is pardoned and elevated to a Dukedom! 😂 I‘m enjoying this audiobook even though it has a male narrator. ( I‘m more used to a female voice)

Thanks to @CoffeeK8 for bringing this #romantsy to my attention. Quinn Wentworth is not the standard candidate for Duke, even among romance novels and i loved the characters here. I might have enjoyed it more if I‘d been able to binge read instead of snatching a few minutes here and there, but overall it was fun and not too steamy. I look forward to more in the series.

I love a #romantsy where the hero and heroine are forced/accidentally married and have to make it work, but this one really takes it to the next level. Jane is widowed, pregnant and destitute and agrees to marriage to Quinn a (framed) convicted murderer who will die the next day, when SURPRISE, his sentence gets overturned and he also becomes a Duke.

Waiting to head home 💕

I can‘t believe I haven‘t been on Litsy in over three months! Grad school is sucking the life out of me!😭 When I actually get to read for fun again, I‘m going all out on historical romances!💕💕💕

Such a lovely read & It kept me in suspense for quite a while! I I loved the romance building between Quinn & Jane. It was a slow process as they grew to know each other but it was entertaining. All of the supporting characters were memorable & a few I am quite invested in & hope they get their own story in this series. I didn‘t like that the ending did not wrap up all the loose ends.
