Review: The Love of a Libertine by Jess Michaels "Out Today!"

The Love of a Libertine (The Duke's Bastards, #1)The Love of a Libertine by Jess Michaels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a solid 4 stars read for me.
Elizabeth has led a sheltered life after being privately ruined by an unscrupulous man, a few years ago. So the last thing she wants is a rogue coming onto her brother's staff. The more she gets to know him, the more drawn she becomes to Morgan.
Morgan is the bastard son of a duke and a courtesan. He's led a wildish life. He wakes up in Newgate and finds his estranged brother there to get him out, but he has to promise to start being responsible and to get his life together by taking on a job as a Man of Affairs for a friend. Elizabeth intrigues him and he knows he should stay away but he just can't.

I really enjoyed the time Morgan spent getting to know Elizabeth. He spends time observing her and noticing how she holds herself outside from the group gathered at her brother's estate. He knows that something happened in her past. And Morgan goes about trying to help her. I loved that this was a little slow burn. And once he finds out what has made her uneasy around men, he takes the time to show her how she should be cared for.
Can't wait to see the next book in the series.

Once I finish a book I can usually dive right into the next without a problem. But this one haunted me. I knew it was fiction but knowing that these types of things happened in the past weighed on me as I read. Winny is ninety-seven years old, living with her granddaughter and great-grandson Jamie, the spitting image of her late husband. An old wooden trunk has them asking questions when it's contents tumble out. It's part of Winny's painful past she longed to forget. And when they ask her about the family tree she starts her story at what brought her to Canada. The book is told in parts each one starting in present day. Then the chapters move to the past told from Winny's point of view and switch back and forth to Jack's point of view. They are indentured servants who were told that they wer
