Notorious is a historical romance set in London during the Regency years.
Druscilla Claire is never getting married and plans to live out the rest of the season with her bestie Eva being a wallflower. Dru has a big dowry and Eva is titled but neither is up for the dreariness that marriage and polite society requires.
Dru is also secretly in love with Eva’s step brother Gabe with whom she is always sparring. He finds her annoying.
Then Dru is ruined and Gabriel must ask for her hand. It is about this moment in most HR novels where I flirt with the idea of DNFing the book. There’s a bit of a mystery involved in this story: Gabriel is challenged to a duel by Lord Visel who then publicly apologizes and calls off the duel. It’s kind of a blah plot but it won’t go away for the entire rest of the book.
Eventually Dru and Gabe start getting it on and the book takes a steamy turn. Lots of details. Definitely don’t read this if you only like closed door romance novels!
