Thanks to @avonbooks for sending me a copy of The Notorious Lord Knightly by Lorraine Heath, out 6/27! Lorraine Heath is hit or miss for me — either I love love love or dislike her books, but the chance that I’ll find a new love keeps me coming back for more! Unfortunately, The Notorious Lord Knightly was a miss for me, mostly because I felt it was trying to do too much. There was a revenge plot, secret baby, fake courtship, second chance romance, family betrayal…the list goes on and on. Still stinging, years later, from the betrayal of being left at the altar, Regina pens an anonymous — and scandalous — memoir to exact revenge on the man from her past, with unexpected consequences. Ultimately there was too much dishonesty and miscommunication between these characters for me to feel that they worked. Regina and Knightly kept circling each other without ever really fixing their issues. The end was cute, but it couldn’t redeem a couple hundred pages of frustration for me — but if you’re intrigued by the story elements I mentioned earlier, this one might be for you!
