Hi everyone! This is Julia of

I read mostly historical romance, but can often be found reviewing paranormal romance, young adult books (mostly distopian/fantasy), fantasy/sci-fi, classics,
and the occasional non-fiction book about languages.

Just Finished Reactions: What I Did for a Duke by Julie Anne Long
I have to say, this series has been rather hit, miss, blah for me. Luckily this one was a hit. I highly enjoyed the main characters, and the secondary characters too actually. The plot was one that I have yet to have read in the 168 historical romance novels I have read since I started keeping track of such numbers. Alex, the hero, catches Ian, the heroine's brother, in bed with his fiance. He forces him to leave through the window, naked as a jay bird, and all of this happens in the prologue! Alex decides the best revenge would be to seduce his sister, Genevieve our heroine.
The book went nowhere I expected. It was an awesome surprise at every turn. I love the chemistry between the couple too. So steamy!
Do you need to read the other books in the series to enjoy this one? No, not really, though they do make a lot of references to the other happy couples.
So glad this book put the series back on track in my mind. :)
