Review: A Gentleman Never Keeps Score (Seducing the Sedgwicks #2) by Cat Sebastian
I guess I’m a bit lucky coming to this book as a reader who doesn’t have a lot of experience with “Regency” romances. To me, this is merely an unexpected romance set in an historical era, so I was a lot more forgiving of aspects of the plot that seemed to bother other readers based…
