Short biography
Julia Harper is a Midwestern girl, born and bred. She grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota and went to college at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. There she majored in anthropology and took Shakespeare classes for kicks. She spent one brief, ghastly summer doing an archaeological survey in northern Wisconsin for the State Historical Society. During that time, she won the Tick Queen of Wisconsin title for most ticks on a person at any one time (thirty-six). Oddly, she did not contract Lyme disease. Julia is (gasp!) the contemporary romance pseudonym for award-winning historical romance writer, Elizabeth Hoyt.

Elizabeth Hoyt is a New York Times bestselling author of historical romance. She also writes deliciously fun contemporary romance under the name Julia Harper. Elizabeth lives in central Illinois with three untrained dogs, two angelic but bickering children, and one long-suffering husband.

Reviews

When a rogue meets his match is the story of Gideon and Mesalina and it has that classic “we are in an arranged marriage but are developing real feelings for each other trope”. Actually, that is not totally accurate because from beginning of the book, it’s obvious Gideon has always had real feelings for her. The things I really enjoyed were Mesalina and Lucretia (her sister’s) relationship. They were so close and Lucretia was really hilarious, I am looking forward to reading her story. The main couple here were fine but lacking something. I don’t know if it was chemistry or if I was just dissatisfied with some of their character flaws, either way I was not emotionally invested in the couple.

I do look forward to reading more in the series especially Lucretia’s and Julian’s.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Elizabeth Hoyt gets me to care about the characters every time. I even kind of like the Duke of Montgomery, which, how?

Not as good as her others. I didn't like the hero much.
