Synopsis

Meet the SOCIETY OF SIRENS—three radical, libertine ladies determined to weaponize their scandalous reputations to fight for justice and the love they deserve…

She’s a Rakess on a quest for women’s rights…Seraphina Arden’s passions include equality, amorous affairs, and wild, wine-soaked nights. To raise funds for her cause, she’s set to publish explosive memoirs exposing the powerful man who ruined her. Her ideals are her purpose, her friends are her family, and her paramours are forbidden to linger in the morning.He’s not looking for a summer lover…Adam Anderson is a wholesome, handsome, widowed Scottish architect, with two young children, a business to protect, and an aversion to scandal. He could never, ever afford to fall for Seraphina. But her indecent proposal—one month, no strings, no future—proves too tempting for a man who strains to keep his passions buried with the losses of his past.But one night changes everything...What began as a fling soon forces them to confront painful secrets—and yearnings they thought they’d never have again. But when Seraphina discovers Adam’s future depends on the man she’s about to destroy, she must decide what to protect… her desire for justice, or her heart.

TW for loss of a loved one, miscarriage, and loss of a child. THIS BOOK WAS SO FABULOUS. I know a lot of people didn't love this book, but I absolutely loved how it was a realistic portrayal of a rakess in society. Sure, we'd love a sex-positive heroine who lived like as a rake would during this tim......more

It just…sparked no joy. Not even the mushroom dildo up his ass. The bird sacrifice and forced institutionalization helped tho! Also what the FUCK kind of epilogue was that?? Just when I started to care smh. Like why do I need to be confronted with another shitty man doing another shitty thing to a w......more

Solid 3.5 but rounding to 4 Safety warnings attached at end. Wow this book has been totally different than anything I've read...ever.
