This episode is brought to you by Kensington’s newest release from Minerva Spencer, Outrageous. Outrageous is the second book in Minerva’s Rebels of the Ton series about a younger generation of London aristocracy who are breaking the rules of the Regency to follow their dreams and forge their own paths. In Outrageous, readers meet Eva de Courtney, a young woman with a plan to protect her brother by kidnapping the notorious Godric Fleming. But things go awry after she gets him in her carriage and it becomes unclear who is kidnapping whom - and where this carriage ride might end. Booklist called Minerva’s books an irresistible cocktail of smart characterisation, sophisticated sensuality, and sharp wit, and frankly, we agree. We are powerless against a trope-reversal and we stan a forward-thinking heroine. You can find Outrageous and the other books in the Rebels of the Ton series by Minerva Spencer anywhere books are found. Find out more on minervaspencer.com
