Duchess If You Dare by Anabelle Bryant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Historical Fiction, Regency Romance
“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.

Spring is Finally Here
Happy Spring everyone! My tulips are blooming!
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.

Scarlett, a member of the Maidens of Mayhem, a group of four women who fight to protect women in a society ruled by men.
When Scarlett’s seamstress suddenly goes missing, she knows that foul play must be involved. While Scarlett investigates, the clues bring her to an up scale brothel where she learns some girls have also gone missing from. Ambrose, Duke of Aylesford, is investigating this same brothel as well, a mess his impetuous younger brother got him mixed up in.
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.
