Thanks to @avonbooks for sending me an advance copy of In Want of a Viscount by Lorraine Heath, which is already out in the world! 😆 I’m getting to this one a tad late (it released in February), but it turned out to be my favorite of the series! When I tell you this one had me giggling from chapter one? I was *in*. Rook has a hot (and hilarious) anonymous encounter with a woman at his brother’s club, only to discover that she helms a company the Chessmen are considering investing in. The angst and the small moments where these characters feel so safe and seen were the absolute highlights for me. While The Chessmen series can be read as a stand-alone, Lorraine Heath makes the most of the universe she has crafted: the characters and storylines of The Chessmen overlap and intersect with those in the Once Upon a Dukedom and Sins for All Seasons series in a way that feels like a love letter to longtime fans. Rook’s story, and in particular the epilogue, serves as a bookend those stories in the best way possible. 📸: A kindle displaying the ebook cover of In Want of a Viscount sits on a white shelf. I’m reaching out to touch the kindle with one hand. via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/C5gFuCvLRdi/
