Hello everyone!!
Today we have a review and a book tour for Book Of Love by Erin Satie, which is a historical romance and also the second book in the Sweetness and Light series but can be read as a standalone as it is not a direct sequel.
The book released yesterday April 20th and I am very grateful to the author and Inkslinger PR for providing me with an early copy. Of course all opinions are my own.
So check it out and be sure to get your copy today!
Title: Book of Love
Author: Erin Satie
Genre: Historical Romance
About Book of Love:
She's trying to make ends meet. He's out for a bit of fun.
Cordelia Kelly is busy, focused, worried about the future of her fledgling bookbinding business. When a handsome man stops her on the street to pester her with questions, she gives him the consideration he deserves: none.
That handsome man happens to be the Duke of Stroud, and he finds Cordelia's hostility hilarious. He gives chase, if only for the pleasure of provoking her again.
He thinks life is a game. She doesn't play around.
Within days of meeting Cordelia, Stroud sets a marching band on a matchmaking mama, defaces a local monument, and ropes Cordelia into a round of his favorite game.
In that same time, Cordelia stitches together the complete works of Mary Wollstonecraft, enthusiastically devotes herself to a petition demanding expanded legal rights for married women, and beats Stroud at his own game.
She defies all expectations. So does he.
Most people dismiss Stroud as a fool--himself included. When Cordelia sees past his lighthearted facade, he's terrified and also... in love?
Stroud barges into Cordelia's life, offering her all the material and sensual temptations she's learned to do without. She usually has willpower to spare, but turning him down takes all of it, and then some. He's oddly irresistible.
Or maybe they're perfect for one another.

My review
Reading historical fiction books is something that I really enjoy and when they are combined with romance it is even better. Book of Love is exactly like this. It is set in 19th century London and I really like that. I loved the setting, the story and the writing style of the author and I really liked the fact that the author touched on some feminist themes of the time.
I liked both our main characters, Cordelia and Alistair and how their relationship evolved. I enjoyed the banter between them. It looks like a lighthearted read but it has a strong and smart female protagonist that I loved.
Rating: 4 Stars
About Erin Satie:
Erin Satie is the author of the dark and elegant No Better Angels series, historical romances set in the early Victorian period. She’s currently hard at work on her upcoming series, Sweetness & Light, which should be just as elegant but not quite so dark.
Erin is a California native who’s lived on the coasts and in the heartland, in tiny city apartments and on a working farm. She studied art history in both college and graduate school—research is always her favorite part of starting a new book.
Her favorite part of finishing a book, whether reading or writing, is the happily ever after.
