Missy's Reviews > Outrageous

** spoiler alert ** 2.25, mostly because I don’t enjoy road trip romances in the Regency era but I can tolerate them to a certain point (I lasted till the 70% mark, I believe 😅) and I didn’t like the heroine that much. I don’t mind age gaps but I do prefer the heroines to be mature or at least somewhat proper. Oftentimes, Eva’s behavior reminded me of a modern teenager (granted she is 19; it’s her argumentative nature that I had a problem with). I didn’t like the internal monologues either.

I thought the last 20% dragged. It reminded me of episode 6 of season 2 of Bridgerton. (view spoiler)[There was a betrothal. Obviously everyone knew Eva and Tommy would be miserable together and shouldn’t marry but no one said anything or really pushed them to change their minds. They were just relieved when Eva did eventually changed her mind one or two days before the wedding was to take place! (hide spoiler)]FYI I’m probably going to mention Bridgerton in some of the reviews I write this year. 😂

We are introduced to the twins whose romances will be in the next book for a brief time in this part of the book. I have not read Dangerous by Minerva Spencer but after reading what kind of woman Mia (the heroine’s stepmother) is in this book, I’m intrigued now.

There were three male characters with names that began with A: Andrew (side character 1), Anthony (minor side character 2), and Adam (heroine’s father). Sometimes I got confused and I had to quiz myself who was whom.

Overall, it was an entertaining read but probably not one I'll reread (because of the road trip). (view spoiler)[ Sex in a moving carriage! (hide spoiler)]
