It’s been a long time since I’ve read a Regency-era romance, and Notorious was a fun dip back in the waters. This is my first Minerva Spencer book, and I enjoyed her writing. This book's plot was not much different from the books I remember; a wallflower and a dashing rake must marry against their wishes but become attracted to each other during their marriage. The witty banter between the two main characters, Drusilla and Gabriel, was full of humor and sexual tension and kept the story moving along at a good pace. As expected, there is certain drama in the story that tries to tear the couple apart, but this pair fight to work out their differences. Both are strong-willed, Drusilla in particular, and must overcome their tendencies to withdraw.
In my opinion, the book is well-written, but I outgrew this type of story many years ago. As such, It is hard for me to rate, but I gave it three stars. I thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.
