Claire Louisa's Reviews > The Bachelor Bargain

4.5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌠

I'm not a big historical romance reader, but I love Maddison Michaels novels and was excited to get a copy of her new novel Bachelor Bargain to read.

Bachelor Bargain didn't disappoint, it was a great read with two main characters I really enjoyed getting to know. Lady Olivia Haliford (Livie) is a smart, determined and tough young lady who wants justice for her friend's demise and will go to whatever lengths necessary to get them. 

Sebastian Colver, The Bastard of Baker Street is a feared individual and for good reason. He is also a good man, one who cares greatly about others, though he has trust issues even with those in his inner circle, and hides behind his reputation.

Olivia decides it is his help she needs to finance her paper which will call out no good bachelors and enable her to find the man responsible for her friend's death. 

I loved the interaction between these two, both from totally different backgrounds, neither of them were prepared for the other in more ways than one. Sebastian certainly didn't expect to catch feelings for this beautiful, strong young woman who put herself in danger in her pursuit of justice far too many times for his liking. Olivia is also not happy about her attraction to Sebastian, but no matter what happens, these two can't fight the chemistry that is between them. 

There was plenty of wheeling and dealing, twists galore, humour and of course romance and this novel kept me reading well past my bedtime. 

Thank you to Entangled: Amara Publishing and NetGalley for a digital copy of this novel in return for an honest review.
