********************************************************


Not a daring daughter…

Agatha de Montluc’s life is a fairy story.

Born in the rookery and alone in a dangerous world, the day she picked the Comte de Villen’s pocket might have seen her transported, or even hanged. But the beautiful comte’s past was dark too, and he sees himself in the grubby urchin he determines to save.

Now, Aggie is a lady, the Comte de Villen, her adopted father, and she is living in the lap of luxury, with a family that loves her, and the best friends a girl could ask for.

And then there is Fred.

Not a wicked son…

Lord Frederick Adolphus is the kindest, most honourable man in the world. A younger son of the Duke of Bedwin, he is titled, handsome, rich and popular, and hopelessly in love with his childhood sweetheart.

So when Aggie disappears without a trace, leaving only a brief note explaining that she had to go, she destroys his world and his happiness.

The greatest sacrifice…

Leaving Fred and the people she loves is the hardest thing Aggie has ever done, but too late, she realises her fairytale cannot come true. Too late she discovers Fred has been fighting his friends, because of her, because of the things they say about her, because she will never be a lady. A girl born in squalor can never marry the son of a duke.

The world will never let them be together.

A surprising alliance…

When she runs away to France to start a new life, hidden far from her beloved and those that care for her, Aggie does not expect to cross paths with her best friend’s estranged husband, Lord Kilbane. For five long years, an uneasy entente exists between them as they both do their best to forget England, and avoid a world they can no longer bear to live in.
So when the Marquess of Kilbane gets himself into the kind of trouble that might finally ruin him for good, Aggie determines to help him, for his wife’s sake. An adventure ensues that sends Aggie to England, and crashing headlong back into Fred’s life.

And no matter how hard Aggie tries to escape, this time Fred is not letting her out of his sight.

🃏 Truth or Dare 🎰 Daring Daughters Book 18 ✒️ Emma V. Leech 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️ After turning the last book page, I confess I was confused and upset at Agatha. I understand her action came from her good heart, yet it was one sided, she made a choice for them both. She wrongly decided for them both, never leaving Fred a say about her decision and in fray she did hurt many more people, Louis and Evie, Cat and all their relatives. So I was curious to know how things would unravel. To new readers, the characters would be more easy-to-understand if you read the series in order as Aggie and Fred have a long history, from the moment they meet as children to she following Louis’ flight to France and so on, they have been friends and more for years. So much, I did not see coming any real impediment to their future happiness. But Mrs Leech is a talented sadistic who likes to twist and turn the insides of her readers to plot the hard won HEA of her characters. And while usually I even set my alarm clock to have an early start with each new book, I was a bit reluctant, still put off by Aggie’s decision. But here I am, while I would have throttled Aggie’s brain for such a harrying flight, I was also curious to see how the author would bring them back together and how Fred after their years apart would react to her one-sided decision. And oh my! How heartbroken I was for him, for his years alone with an unmendable heart. I wanted to shake Aggie for the hell she puts through one of the kindest man of her life. She had no right to hurt him like that, believing she was rescuing him without explaining the whys to him was so wrong. When I was so such they despite his young age, never Fred would have given a fig about the hearsay or whispers, always choosing her and her only. And of course this book is more than piecing back together the romance between Fred and Aggie, it gifts us some clues about what to expect from the sequel series to come next fall The Wicked Son, plus another Daring Daughter romance in the making and also the next book plot as Aggie has been friend with Cat as long as with Fred, their stories are intertwined as Cat’s absentee husband becomes acquainted with Aggie. So here with are for an awkward sort of pas-de-deux duet. 4.5 stars rounded up 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 onscreen foreplays and lovemaking scenes

    I loved Aggie and Fred’s story as it has been building for years. Aggie over hears Fred’s school chums say many disparaging things about her which makes her run away. She thinks it’s for the best and believes Fred can find someone else to love. On her journey she acquires Knocker her driver and Fliss her maid and then companion. They decide to settle in Paris, she under an assumed name. While in Paris she comes across Lord Kilbane several times including him saving them from an angry mob. She realizes there is more to him than he shows anyone. She also realizes something important and that she is Kilbanes half sister. When he is arrested for a murder he did not commit and realizes he is being set up. Aggie sets on a journey to find Kilbanes alibi and bring the culprit to justice. In Aggie doing so it brings her back to London and facing her past. A beautifully written story with a wonderful ending.

    I loved this book! Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down until I finished it!
    I am a big fan of Emma's work, and especially this series, but the truth is I still didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. It's just that Fred and Aggie have been in love with each other since they were little, and they were always "meant to be". Their love is sweet and uncomplicated, they were both still children when we saw them in the last book (17 yo or so), and Fred is the epitome of a good guy. All those things played a part in making me think the book will be sweet, but not be one of my favorites.... Well, I was wrong! 5 years appart made both Fred and Aggie grow up and mature, without really changing who they are at heart. Their story had heart, love, adventure and passion and I couldn't put it down! I really loved how their story interwined with Cat and Kilbane's (the heroes of the next book in the series) and gave us a glimps of what's comming and the only thung I can say is I CANNOT WAIT! Oh, and it's worth to mention that there's a new couple on the horison, and you will NOT be disappointed! :-)
    All in all this book exceeded all my expectations, and I can wholehartedly recomend it. If you haven't bought a copy yet, go ahead and do it, you will not regret it!

    I was quite disappointed when Aggie disappeared on Fred so was very happy to see this book! I loved how everything was handled. Emma just knows how to make her characters emotional choices so natural. Her stories have substance and I love her world of characters that all interact and the generations carryon. Can’t wait till Cat & Kilbane!

    Another great story in the daring daughters series.

    Aggie wasn't born as a lady and she thinks she's not meant to be apart of that life despite the fact that she's been raised and adopted by a member of society, and all of her friends are members of society and they love her dearly but after hearing things that some people say about her, she leaves and runs from her home and the man of her dreams

    He is unsure of why she left only that its not the excuse she gave in a letter, he misses her and despite the agony and all the heartbreak he still loves her.

    After being gone for years she returns and despite trying to forget about him the love is even stronger than before.. After spending time together and helping save someone's life, they reconnect and they can't deny they ever stopped loving each other.

    I loved this story from beginning to end.

    I can't wait to read the next story in this series

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2023
    This book was absolutely glorious. You have a couple who have been in love with each other since childhood, but in an effort to save Fred from scorn and ridicule for his love of her Aggie does what she thinks is best for him and disappears. Although heartbroken our heroine doesn’t just sit around mopping oh no she has adventures, makes friends, establishes a successful business and even from afar manages to assist her best friend Cat by looking out for her husband. Fred has been through hell in the years is Aggie absence, but despite his anguish he’s stayed true and in love with his Aggie. Their HEA is SO satisfying and beautiful. As always Emma manages to fully enthrall you with the main love story, whilst also adding depth and sowing seeds for future stories in the series and getting to see old favourites pop up is wonderful. Now to wait for the next book that’s going to be EPIC!!!

    Reviewed in India on July 1, 2023
    Aggie and Fred have known that they were meant for each other since they were young but with Aggie from the wrong side of Grosvenor Street , there were bound to be whispers of their mismatch !

    Aggie's determination to have Fred not fight for her constantly leads her to a new life devoid of her connections to England until a disaster brings her to the forefront and back to England where she is reconciled with Fred and has to decide for herself where he belongs - in Fred's arms or elsewhere.

    I absolutely loved this premise and it was wonderful to see Aggie and Fred battle it out with her wanting to be independent and Fred protectively defending her .

    There are so many nuances to this series that it's a delight in every page ! The emotions, the characters captivate you ! Ms. Leech has enthralled me again !

    Loved, loved Aggie and Fred’s story! It was a fantastic read, just sorry I read it too fast. In a blink of an eye it was already finished. Thank you Ms Leech for another amazing read! Looking forward to Marlowe and Rose’s story..

    As for Cat and Kilbane, I thought for sure we would read something about Montagu wanting to do bodily harm to Kilbane or going after him at some point. It would have been really nice to see Montagu in action once again..
