Review: Bringing Down the Duke
Bringing Down the Duke by Evie DunmoreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Suffragette, Annabelle, has an accidental encounter in Parliament Square with the Duke of Montgomery as she hands out leaflets supporting British women's right to vote. This chance meeting leads to a complicated association, with Annabelle making tough choices about her personal future.
I liked this - mixed late-19th century politics with historical figures (Queen Victoria) and a group of young women who are advocating for women's rights. Throw in a handsome, sexy Duke with eyes for a suffragette, and it was a heated, romantic, tense, satisfying coupling.
Last book finished in 2020.

Review: Tangled Up in You
Tangled Up in You by Christina LaurenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
If you take Tara Westover from Educated, abducted Elizabeth Smart, the Branch Davidians, and turned it into a mashup of Rapunzel or Disney’s Tangled, it is this book.
I admit - I’ve never seen Tangled, and only remember “Rapunzel, let down your hair” from the fairytale, so maybe I missed the point.
It was much darker than I expected and is really a YA book. But I gave it 3 stars because I finished in 2 days, so I just have liked it.
