“When the four ladies had banded together with a vow to right wrongs in London and fight for women who had no voice against male harassment or otherwise unjust travesties thrust upon their gender, they’d labelled themselves the Maidens of Mayhem. Perhaps it was a fanciful thought at first, but their intention was soon realized. London had more nefarious secrets than anyone imagined.”
Scarlett is a member of the Maidens of Mayhem, a group of women who fight to protect other women in a society ruled by men. When her seamstress suddenly goes missing, she knows that foul play must be involved. While investigating, the clues bring her to an upscale brothel, aimed at the wealthier men of status. Inside Scarlett discovers that several of the girls have gone missing recently.

Happy May Day! Wow, I can’t believe that it is already May! Well April ended better than I thought it would. I finally finished Little Heaven, and Duchess If You Dare from my TBR pile from March. I am a little behind due to being incredibly busy but just taking it one book/day at a time. I know I will catch up. I also was able to finish two more “100 books to read in a lifetime”. Overall very happy and looking forward to May!

They made it in to the camp but will they survive when they attempt to leave?

After Scarlett and Ambrose’s path cross and they discover they’re looking into same thing and decide to work together. From opposites backgrounds and lifestyles, they don’t have much in common but the chemistry is unavoidable.
Well I had some unexpected technical issues at work this week that caused me to be unable to do my job. Silver lining, I was able to get a little caught up on my reading. My life has been so crazy lately with work and the reptiles that I have not been able to do much of any reading. By the time I settle down for the night my brain is fried and all I can do is veg. Which is why I only managed to read one audiobook in March. This week I was able to FINALLY finish Little Heaven (which was awesome!) and Duchess If You Dare! Reviews still to coming. I wanted to get to it before the pub date but life happens and I am glad that it was still close. I also chose this one for 2021 Genre Reading Challenge, March was Historical Fiction.
