Lizzie's steadfast principles means she cannot deny the evidence of her own eyes and as a consequence finds herself thrown out onto the street! Her only ally in her time of need comes from a very unexpected quarter indeed....

Find out how this unlikeliest of couples navigates life together after a rocky start and find their preconceived notions about the other could not have been further from the truth!

Love this series!!

I have loved both books. So real, so well written and narrated! Would love to hear more about some of the characters! Why didn’t she tell Benedict about Daphne and Sebastian’s tussle?? I thought that was outstanding!!

Epic! Mature characters, steam, action, & LOVE.

Oh, Alice Coldbreath has quickly become a new favorite. This book and the first in the series are both total gems.

Narration is excellent as well!

I thought this book would be a romp, and while it has some qualities of a lighthearted romp, there's depth, maturity, and nuance to the character.

The female main character is strong-willed, brave, open minded, sweet, and fun.

The main male character is alpha in all the right ways and a total softie at all the right times.

The carnival aspect is a lot of fun and provides a super unique backdrop for this genre.

It's sexy AF, the steamy scenes are so well done and definitely leave an impression. The dialogue is witty and interesting.

I just loved it!!

Novelty

It's nice to see historical romance that's not about the nobility. This novel shows the reality of the few options available for women and the unfair working conditions of the time. The love story features a slow-growing affection based on mutual respect, and the attraction grows throughout the story.

Great story

Highly enjoyable with great characters. Made me smile and laugh out loud. Could use a few more of the steamy love scenes (my oh, my).

Sigh… so perfect

This marriage of convenience is my most favorite. I also love a good sunshine and grump. But with this one, the h isn’t your typical sunshine. I enjoy everything about this book. This narration does it Justice. Alice Coldbreath is the master of character building. The beginning might feel a little slow, but hang in there. It’s completely worth it.

Another wonderful love story

I really enjoyed lost to this book, book 1 was good, this 2nd book is great, I’m looking forward to book 3. If you’re a prude, and feel uncomfortable with hot love scenes, you probably should not get this Prize fighter series.

I adore this steamy series

I absolutely love Alice Coldbreath's writing. Her stories have real plots and drama that keep me interested until the very end! The love scenes are always so passionate and, generally, very realistic portrayals of women's pleasure (though perhaps less so in this particular book :-/ ). Good read and will definitely continue the series at some point.
