as a gutter snipe are behind him, as he enjoys a life of wealth, society, and
clandestine assignments as a spy in the service of the Crown. Until one
tumultuous night churns up the past he’d long left behind…
Turned out by her employer for her radical beliefs, Lucy Greenleaf reaches out
to the man who was once her most beloved friend. She never expected that the
once-mischievous Trevor would be so handsome and gentleman-like and neither can
deny the instant attraction.
But Lucy’s reformer ways pose a threat to the hotel’s future and his duties as
a spy. Now Trevor must choose between his new life and the woman he’s always
loved…
My Review:
A view weeks ago I reviewed ‘The Miss Mirren Mission’ by
Jenny Holiday. This was the first book in the Regency Reformers series and I
loved it. So when I was approached by Entangled Publishing with the question if
I would like to read and review ‘The Likelihood of Lucy’, the second book in
the series, I was super excited and immediately said yes.
countess who’s also a reformer. When Lucy gets herself in trouble, her last
option is to go to Trevor Bailey, her old friend who she hasn’t seen in years.
What Lucy didn’t expect was that Trevor became a very handsome and rich man in
the time they were apart. Two things that make Lucy wary of the man. A handsome
and rich man can only bring trouble in Lucy’s opinion.
last thing he needs is a reformer walking inside his brand new hotel, but when
he sees Lucy, he really has no choice and offers her safety. Trevor is
desperate to help Lucy out, just like he did when they were younger.
a little slow. Not bad slow, but just so you can get a feel for the characters
and their surroundings. Soon after reading the first few pages I realized this
book would be just as good as the first one in the series. I love Jenny Holiday’s
writing. The writing is modern and there aren’t too many difficult old English terms
and it really makes this book even more fun. This book is very easy to read and
also makes you want to keep reading.
have a history together, and although it takes you a while to understand what
kind of history they shared, it is their shared history what makes this romance
even better. I loved the way they interacted with each other and how they
obviously cared for one another.
standalone. You really don’t have to read the first book, but it’s written in
the same style. Another great Jenny Holliday book!!
My Rating:
About the Author:
awesome hippie teacher, between sessions of Pete Seeger singing and
anti-nuclear power plant letter writing, gave the kids notebooks and told them
to write stories. Most of Jenny’s featured poltergeist, alien invasions, or
serial killers who managed to murder everyone except her and her mom. She
showed early promise as a romance writer, though, because nearly every story
had a happy ending: fictional Jenny woke up to find that the story had been a
dream, and that her best friend, father, and sister had not, in fact, been
axe-murdered.
From then on, she was always writing, often in her diary, where she liked to
decorate her declarations of existential angst with nail polish teardrops.
Eventually she channeled her penchant for scribbling into a more useful format.
After picking up a PhD in urban geography, she became a professional writer,
spending many years promoting research at a major university, which allowed her
to become an armchair astronomer/historian/particle physicist, depending on the
day. Eventually, she decided to try her hand again at happy endings—minus the
bloodbaths.
