In Which Winnie Halifax Is Utterly Ruined by Alexandra Vasti

5.0

ARC received from the author, thanks!

You know, MF romance doesn’t always work for me.  There are so many gendered stereotypes, traditional gender roles, maybe not as much consent as I would like to be reading.  So, I’m pretty picky, especially with histroms.  But, my god, Alexandra Vasti writes some damn good MF histroms.

The characters are absolutely fantastic, and not at all what you would expect them to be.

In this instalment of the Halifax Hellions we meet Winnie Halifax, who is the daughter of a thief, but who has lived the past ten years raising sheep in Wales.  A little lie and a forged document or two, and she has quite successfully become the third Halifax Hellion.  Or, perhaps brought out the Hellion in Spencer Halifax (brother two the first two Hellions).

This book was a delight; from the zany antics of Winnie trying to do the right thing, to steamy scenes where the stockings most definitely stay on, this was so much fun to read.

As I said earlier, I am very picky when it comes to historical MF romances, but I will pre-ordering Vasti’s full length novel, Ne’er Duke Well, as soon as it’s available.
