Review: When a Rogue Meets His Match

✨ Thank you @readforeverpub for the gifted copy of When a Rogue Meets His Match! Available now! ✨ 



Meet my first five star historical romance of 2021! I adored When a Rogue Meets His Match so much 🥰 Starting Elizabeth Hoyt’s books last year was my favorite new-to-me author discovery. I’m working my way through her Maiden Lane series and love them so much. Since the world is 💩 right now, all I want is to dive into historical romances. When a Rogue Meets His Match was exactly what I needed right now. 



I will say, I read this one before reading the first book in the Greycourt Series and I felt like you could read it as a stand-alone. But reading it made me want to read Not the Duke’s Darling soon! I’m so curious about Freya and her backstory now. 



Marriage of convenience is my favorite trope ever, and any HR that starts with a heroine being forced to marry someone she thinks she hates is bound to be a winner in my book. I loved Gideon and Messalina so much, they had so much chemistry and their interactions were delightful. There’s some grumpy vibes, a little adventure, some steamy steam steam 🔥 and a hero that buys his wife an entire library. I mean...*swoon* 💕



If you’ve never read anything from Hoyt, I highly recommend trying her! Her books are the perfect mix of banter, steam, and some grittiness. Her Maiden Lane series feels a little more intense than Lisa Kleypas, but not as intense as Kerrigan Byrne (if that helps 😂) The real world might be garbage, but at least I can escape into the amazing world Elizabeth Hoyt created 💜
