T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
When I first picked up The Boxing Baroness, I was immediately hooked by the image that immediately leaped to mind. My imagination was already firing on all cylinders!
A woman in a Victorian-esque boxing stance, complete with gloves and skirts? Sign me up!
But after reading the first few pages, I realized that this book was about so much more than just a good fight. Inspired by the real-life Boxing Baroness, Minerva Spencer has created a heroine who's not afraid to speak her mind, stand up for what she believes in, and chart her own path — even if it means breaking society's rules.
The Boxing Baroness is an incredibly well-written book that had me completely captivated from beginning to end. Spencer has masterfully created a romance with a pro-female spin that is both thought-provoking and wildly entertaining. If you are a romance reader looking for something different from your usual Regency romance genre fare that makes the list for best historical romances, this is definitely the book for you!
Perfect for historical romance novel readers looking for empowering Regency romances with a strong heroine who knows exactly what she wants — and isn't afraid to go after it.
You won't be disappointed!... ✨😎✨

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
If you're a fan of the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn, then you'll love The Boxing Baroness by Minerva Spencer.
Set in Regency England and explores the role of women in a patriarchal society. The story follows the romance between Marianne Simpson, the boxing baroness, and the Duke of Staunton, who is both frustrated by and in admiration of Marianne's independent streak. What ensues is a witty, sexy read that will have you entertained from beginning to end.
Masterfully checking the boxes as an enemies-to-lovers romance morphing into a forbidden love romance with the dramatic tension of a whirlwind romance chemistry.
The Boxing Baroness is the first book in Spencer's Wicked Women of Whitechapel Series (Historical Romances) and it does not disappoint. The story is well-written and engaging, and the characters are complex and likable. The witty banter was sharp and clever, and the sexual chemistry of the main characters was off the charts!
BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION:
Just because society tells you that you should do something, doesn't mean that you have to...
Marianne Simpson is a perfect example of this. She's a woman who isn't afraid to break the rules and go after what she wants — even if it means bucking societal norms.
It's important to stand up for what you believe in, even if it means going against the grain...
Marianne is a strong advocate for women's rights and she isn't afraid to use her platform to speak out against the injustices that women face.
It's possible to find love in the most unexpected places...
Marianne and the Duke of Staunton butt heads from the very beginning, but as they get to know each other, they realize that they have more in common than they thought. And, eventually, mutual respect and admiration turns into something more.
BOOK QUOTE:
"An homage to all those women who've been neglected by history and likely received very little fame, acclaim, or money while they competed in a man's world... " — The Boxing Baroness by Minerva Spencer
