Review

“Shupe (the Uptown Girls series) opens her Fifth Avenue Rebels series with this effortlessly diverting Gilded Age romance... [Hamilton and Maddie’s] sexual chemistry and dynamic banter, especially during intimate moments, convey an alluring blend of love and playfulness. This character-driven historical romance is sure to delight.” -- Publishers Weekly on The Heiress Hunt

“Joanna Shupe vividly evokes 1890s New York, from glamorous restaurants to a Bowery boxing hall to the original Madison Square Garden.” -- New York Times Book Review on The Rogue of Fifth Avenue

“Nothing makes me happier than a new book from Joanna Shupe!” -- Sarah MacLean

“Swoon! With The Rogue of Fifth Avenue, Shupe continues to build on the sterling legacy she’s building for herself as a gifted weaver of glittering Gilded Age tales (complete with lots of nod to real historical figures), while also deepening the contemporary resonance of her themes.” -- Entertainment Weekly

“A strong finish to an excellent series about strong-willed women determined to live life on their own terms.” -- Kirkus Reviews on The Devil of Downtown --This text refers to the mass_market edition.

Boring

I don't know what to say. Did not enjoy it. Some scenes were just hokey. Very disappointing.

While attending a house party hosted by the Websters at their Newport “chapeau”, Boston heiress Alice Lusk makes a decision that will change her life. After years of verbal and emotional abuse at the hands of her mother, Alice is determined to marry – but she wants a man who will love her for herself, not her father’s money. So, she figures her best bet is to seduce a man, but how does a painfully shy, insecure, proper young lady do such a thing? By hiring the man her hostess’ daughter swears can turn even the shyest woman into a vixen – Christopher “Kit” Ward.

Kit is a self-described scoundrel, a playboy with charm, good looks, and money to spare and in no rush to change. So, when the pretty little wallflower asks for help, he is ready to send her on her way, but then he learns she is close friends with the famous Fifth Ave Hotel chef, Angelo Franconi – the very man Kit and his business partner and friend Preston have been trying to hire for their supper club! Alice makes it clear, chef Franconi will never leave the hotel, but she is sure she could persuade him to sell the men some of his famous recipes, as well as the rights to use his name and in exchange, she wants Kit to teach her how to attract a man.

Kit agrees and the two begin, but Kit is unprepared for his reaction to Alice and he aggressively fights his growing attraction. Things heat up between them, but they both know that nothing will ever come from it, and if Alice ever wants to follow her dream of running her own kitchen, she needs to marry, something that Kit has made quite clear he will never do. They return to New York, assuming they will never see each other again. Kit can’t deny he is jealous when he learns that Alice is being courted, but he stubbornly refuses to consider a future with her. But when Kit needs help, Alice offers to step in and cook for his club’s opening night and their passion burns bright and won’t be denied – but even one glorious night is not enough to change Kit’s mind about marriage and once more they part ways. It seems like Kit’s insecurities will cost him the love of a lifetime, but an unexpected tragedy and some no-nonsense advice, make him realize that Alice is exactly what he needs – but is it too late?

This book was fantastic! I loved it so much and am so glad I didn’t pass on it after my disappointment with the previous installment of this series. This book is nearly perfect, it is well-written, perfectly paced, filled with witty banter, extremely likable leads, steamy love scenes, a bit of heartache, insecurities, an overbearing, nasty mother, wonderful secondary characters, and a HEA that is sure to put a smile on your face. This is the second book in the series and part of the book runs concurrently with the first book, but this book can easily be read as a standalone title – however if you don’t want spoilers, read the books in order! I highly recommend this title and cannot wait for the next installment!

An Intriguing Second Book to the Series

Reviewed in the United States on 19 November 2021

This second book in the Fifth Avenue Rebels series, does not disappoint. Following on the heels of book #1 – The Heiress Hunt – the story is centered around Miss Alice Lusk, a shy young woman who is in her third season. Alice’s mother keeps her on a short leash, constantly haranguing the young heiress to mind her manners and embarrassing her in front of society. Being an heiress isn’t easy. Seems that only men who are in need of her dowry take any interest in her. The young attractive bachelors shun this proverbial wallflower. At a house party in Newport, Alice meets Christopher Ward, a scoundrel who turns any woman into a vixen. He’s just the sort of man Alice needs to teach her the basics of how to seduce a man into loving her and not her money.

Kit, as he’s called, agrees to provide the delectable Miss Lusk with some pointers in exchange for recipes from Chef Franconi who Kit has been trying to lure as chef for Kit’s new supper club. Seems Alice and the Chef are good friends and he has allowed Alice to dabble in the kitchen without her mother’s knowledge.

As one can imagine, the platonic instructions move along rather quickly into some intimacies that neither Kit nor Alice are uncomfortable with. Kit has sworn never to marry. He is fighting some internal demons, although they are nothing when compared to the formidable Mrs. Lusk – Alice’s mother. And when Alice sets her cap on capturing a duke, he realizes that he must take action. Will he be too late to secure Alice’s love?

I totally loved The Lady Gets Lucky! The action moves along at a regular pace but it is the characters who are the stars of this show. Mild-mannered Alice and Kit with his internal demons are fine as the main protagonists; but it is Mrs. Lusk and Chef Franconi who shine brightly. Each brings much needed grounding to the story. And the fact that Ms. Shupe can make even a loaf of sweet babka erotic is amazing. There is an overly long explicit sexual passage that could have been shortened a bit but the reader can simply skip over that if not to their liking.

As with all of Ms. Shupe’s stories set in the Gilded Age, this one shines brightly. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Engaging wallflower and scoundrel read

Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2022

Verified Purchase

I really liked a lot of this book, the writing is lovely and plotting kept me reading late. This is a trope that I ADORE: the shy wallflower and the charming rogue. It’s hard to go wrong with it. There is a “but” here… (1) there is way to much other woman and other man drama, I really don’t care for it at all and it sounds like the rest of the books in this series are the same (I.e. lots of jealousy and entertaining other suitors or prospective mistresses etc even though their hearts lay elsewhere… not my thing. I don’t care for the idea of using others as a replacement so to speak and just don’t go for the whole love triangle thing. (2) It took too long for Kit to figure his shit out, and I don’t think he would have except for outside influences… suddenly he doesn’t think he’ll cheat on her and he’s ok with potentially having a wife and family? Sure I see that he wants her but I wasn’t convinced that he wants her forever or that he would have pursued her if not for his one friend’s death and other friends’ encouragement. And… wooden spoon? If it isn’t spanking then CRINGE!!!!
