Both Goddess of the Hunt and Surrender to a Siren have been a delight to read! I eagerly picked up A Lady of Persuasion to finish the trilogy. For if Toby wins this battle of persuasion, Isabel could lose her heart.Ī Lady of Persuasion is the third book in Tessa Dare’s debut trilogy. If she can reform the charming devil, she'll get exactly what she craves: society's respect. Sir Toby, with his paltry title and infamous reputation, is unsuitable husband material - but he makes her blood race, her heart pound, and her long-buried passions come to the surface. Isabel is determined to marry a wealthy, powerful lord and become a lady of influence, using her rank and fortune to fight social injustice. When the prize is Isabel Grayson, vengeance is doubly rewarding. What better way to get back at an enemy than by stealing the scoundrel's sister? Not that Toby finds it a chore, seducing a beguiling, sultry beauty freshly arrived from the West Indies. Only one thing could convince Sir Tobias Aldridge, an incorrigible libertine, to profess undying fidelity to a woman he's just met. Tessa Dare spins a witty, wanton tale of passion and conquest, as a reformer and a rake find unexpected love. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The mothers bennett![]() Then there’s Aubrey, the pious teen saved by the very church Luke’s father oversees, who becomes friends with Nadia.ĭeath, injury, and spiritual salvation: each of these alone is a major turning point in anyone’s life.

But the three individuals at the center of THE MOTHERS, Brit Bennett’s bestselling debut novel, have already experienced hinge moments before the end of chapter one. The plots of these coming-of-age tales often center on a major event that drastically alters a character’s current situation and expected future: a loss, a change of perspective, a victory. I feel like every other book I read uses that descriptor. ![]() The phrase “coming-of-age” is frequently thrown about in the book world. ![]() |
