Booklog 16/2020: Jess Michaels: A Reckless Runaway - Shelley Sisters #2

[jacey]

I had this from Netgalley in return for a review, so I haven't read the first book in the Shelley Sisters sequence. I confess there were times when I wanted to throw this against the wall because the heroine, Anne Shelley is, at times, too stupid to live, and the plot is unlikely, except, of course, the giveaway is in the title. She's reckless… in the extreme. She runs away with Ellis Maitland, a man she barely knows, to get out of the arranged marriage (to an earl) that her father is forcing her into. Ellis, a con man, hands her off to his cousin, Rook, who after years of criminality is trying to get out of the life. The obvious happens, of course.

There's not much sense of time or place. It reads like a Regency romance without the 'manners'. Of course, everything is fine in the end for a limited  definition of fine because her love interest is – shall we say – unusual for a Regency hero. Yes, I enjoyed this, but I suspect it's not a book that will live long in my memory.
