Following The Heiress Hunt, beloved author Joanna Shupe continues her new Fifth Avenue Rebels series with a scandalous romance about a good girl desperate to rebel and the rebel desperate to corrupt her.

---

A woman who wants to take control of her destiny. Alice is my sort of woman and honestly that title gives plenty of suggestions what will happen between the pages. It’s marketing genius and hook you in with this story. Alice is a woman who doesn’t want to be on the shelf. She wants to control her future and Kit is the perfect guy for the situation. He doesn’t want to settle down and he knows the secrets she wishes to possess. Kit doesn’t make qualms about himself and honestly he wasn’t the rake he was put out to be.

Both wanted things out of life and it showed quickly. Shupe didn’t waste time with these two even if was just lessons. The reasons soon changed and these two quickly find themselves into a different type of arrangement. This was the perfect return to historical romances for me and I can’t wait to read more from Shupe.
