This was such a fun and fluffy read! I was in a big reading slump and this cured it for sure! Was it a bit predictable? Yes. Did I mind? No. I love a good girl and bad boy romance. Sophie and her friends were instantly loveable. And Nate! I always love the classic emotionally damaged man who thinks he can't love anyone but is clearly in love with the MC trope. This was a super quick and fun read. It has everything I want in a historical romance- wit, charm, romance, smut, and great female friendships. I can't wait to read the next ones when they come out! This little group of friends will have such great stories!

A young lady's tarnished reputation might cost her everything in this first book in the Disreputable Debutantes series. Shy, bookish Sophie Brightwell is expected to make an advantageous match to improve her family's fortunes. However, Sophie's plans to make a spectacular debut go horribly awry when she and her three closest friends are expelled from a young ladies' academy for unbecoming conduct. Since the ton will be sure to close their doors on these disgraced debutantes, they determine that unconventional means need to be employed in the husband-hunting market. Rakehells—the beau monde's wickedest members—might be the only men willing to overlook a young lady's besmirched reputation. But how does one catch a rake? Nate Hastings, the devil-may-care Viscount Malverne, is the older brother of Sophie’s best friend, fellow disgraced debutante Lady Charlotte. When a terribly foxed Nate accidentally compromises Sophie, Charlotte strikes a wicked bargain: in order to avoid a scandal and the parson's mousetrap, Nate must help Sophie snare a husband. But as Nate fulfills his obligation and begins to instruct the lovely Sophie in the art of luring rakes, he soon finds himself battling his own fierce attraction to her.
