Review of His Lordship’s Incorrigible Wife by Barbara Monajem

His Lordship’s Incorrigible Wife by Barbara Monajem
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved this story and the tension between the main characters!

Barbara Monajem’s “His Lordship’s Incorrigible Wife” is an outstanding historical romance that swept me away to the glittering ballrooms and clandestine affairs of Regency London. Set against a backdrop of societal rules and hidden desires, this novel weaves a spellbinding tale of love, secrets, and redemption.

Delphie Ballard, an amateur playwright, hides evidence of her father’s treason. When accosted by a suitor who won’t take no for an answer, her reputation is tarnished, and she flees to the countryside in disgrace. Enter Charles, Lord Kingsdown, a man who supported the French Revolution but barely escaped the guillotine. When he meets Delphie at a Christmas play, it’s love at first sight. But Charles learns about Delphie’s reputation, feeling duped and betrayed. She can’t reveal the truth without exposing her father’s treason.

As several attempts on Charles’ life unfold, Delphie and Charles must learn to trust each other and unmask the real traitor before it’s too late. The chemistry between them sizzles, and their journey from suspicion to love is both captivating and heartwarming.

Monajem’s prose transports readers to a bygone era, where passion defies societal norms. “His Lordship’s Incorrigible Wife” is a must-read for historical romance enthusiasts—a tale of second chances, forgiveness, and the courage to break free.
