Eva Leigh concludes her Breakfast Club and 80s movie-inspired Regency series with a merry widow and a stoic major on a bumpy road to love... Adjusting to life in peacetime isn't easy for Major Duncan McCameron. Escorting a lady on her journey north seems like the perfect chance to give him some much-needed purpose. That is, until he learns the woman in question is the beautiful, bold, reckless Lady Farris. She makes his head spin and being alone together will surely end in disaster. Beatrice, the Dowager Countess of Farris, is finally free of a stifling marriage and she has no plans to shackle herself to any other man. Ready to live life to the fullest, she's headed to a week-long bacchanal and the journey should be half the fun. Except she's confined to a carriage with a young, rule-abiding, irritatingly handsome Scottish soldier who wouldn't know a good time if it landed in his lap. But maybe a madcap escapade will loosen him up... Between carriage crashes, secret barn dances, robbers, and an inn with only one bed, their initial tension dissolves into a passion that neither expected. But is there a future for an adventure-loving lady and a duty-bound soldier, or will their differences tear them apart?… (más)

I am here for the forced-proximity, “oh no! There’s only 1 bed and 2 of us!” tropes and the heroine who is sweet and funny and badass (hello!? the book begins with her planning a trek to a week-long orgy lol) . . . But I’m still figuring out if I enjoy historical romance as a genre if it isn’t fantasy. Anyway, for folks that enjoy the genre, you won’t want to miss this book! ( )

Advance copy from NetGalley

3.5 stars

I was thrilled to get a copy of this from NetGalley so soon after reading the latest Union of Rakes book, and I gobbled it down in one night. I was especially looking forward to reading Duncan and Beatrice’s story once I realized the 80’s movie this one is based on is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off! Duncan McCameron and Lady Faris? Get out of here—I love it!

These two are my favorite pair of the series, although My Fake Rake still wins for best declaration of love. The relationship between Duncan and Beatrice was definitely the most straightforward of the series. No dumb secrets looming, which I like!

As with previous books, I felt the characterization was a little overdone—Duncan the rule-follower and Beatrice the free spirit—but I still enjoyed their adventures on the road and the fun references to 80’s movies and songs throughout the book. It’s a playful, steamy read, and fans of the series are going to dig it.

This book goes into a bit more detail why the two characters do not like each other but it still comes out of nowhere and doesn't really have a good deep plot it just they just dislike each other on first sight.

I rolled my eyes at the Footloose reference but it was kind of funny and did further the plot in an important way.

I really hope Curtis and rowe get their own book, it wouldn't be a true union of rakes series if they don't ( )

This book really didn’t appeal to me like the rest of the series. I’m generally not a fan of romances where one person never wants to marry and the other person tries to change their mind. Also found the journey adventures to be OTT. The book was an overall miss for me but I’m happy to have completed the trilogy. ( )

Best word to describe this read: HOT.

Let's be real, I wasn't expecting much from this but was left pleasantly surprised by the semi enemies turned lovers storyline that was happening. The scorching hot attraction between Beatrice and Duncan was woo-wee! The dirty talking was right up my alley, steamy scenes left me wanting more, the funny banter meant everything to me and how their relationship fell into place made this a fun-filled read.

The characters significantly Beatrice were a standout. The widow, who already had grown children and was 20 years older than our dashing hero, was a straight shooter and filled with the confidence most heroines lack in romance novels. Shit in any novel. Besides that, what I enjoyed the most about this romance was the fact that the characters were more mature than what's accustomed. Duncan was thirty-four and Beatrice was late forties/early fifties. It was refreshing and well received on my end.

So would I recommend this? Hell yeah! Pick this up now, you won't regret it.
