Book Review: The Duke’s Carriage Window by Lauren Smith

Series: The Rogues of Devil’s Square, Book 2
Genre: Regency Romance, Historical Romance
Rating: 5 Stars

Lauren Smith’s The Duke’s Carriage Window offers an exquisite blend of danger, devotion, and desire. Set against the glittering yet treacherous backdrop of Regency London, this second book in The Rogues of Devil’s Square series delivers everything readers crave in a historical love story—heartfelt romance, intrigue, and the thrill of uncertainty.

This is a “does he or doesn’t he” Regency romance at its finest. The story’s romantic tension builds beautifully through moments of vulnerability and trust, woven into a perilous subplot that keeps both the lovers and readers on edge. Friendship, loyalty, and courage shine through as themes, reminding us that true love accepts every flaw.

Smith’s lyrical prose and rich historical detail bring every ballroom, carriage, and whispered conversation vividly to life. The chemistry between the leads simmers with equal parts sweetness and spice, making it a compelling read for fans of Tessa Dare, Erica Ridley, or Christi Caldwell.

Pull Quote:
“A swoon-worthy Regency romance filled with danger, devotion, and the kind of love that reveals who you truly are.”

The Duke’s Carriage Window is an enchanting, emotionally resonant read for Regency romance lovers who enjoy a scoop of danger with a dash of heat.

Disclosure: Thank you to BookSirens and the publisher for providing a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

My Christmas Gift List: Trophy Wife Aprons

Image
As you know I love all things vintage and rarely do I fall in love with something this cute and trendy. It does have the vintage vibe since it is an apron...but let me tell you...these are certainly not your Grandma's apron. Not mine anyway. They are so cute you will want to get one for all the women on your Christmas List. Emmanuella is a true artist with her sewing designs. Hi everyone, my name is Emmanuella Koenig with Trophy-Wife Aprons. I started to sew as a teenager on my mom's sewing machine. I bought my very first portable sewing machine at 21 years old. I felt like a queen with my new toy. I worked in an office up to few years ago and made all my clothes. Fabric was less costly then. I have 2 sons which sometimes, as you know, can take-up quite a bit of my free time. I have the best husband in the world... sorry ladies, he is mine and all mine! I love wearing aprons and because it was impossible to find nice ones out there, I decided to make my own...

Image
Hi everyone! I am so excited to finally share my latest design team package from FabScraps. I may have been a little "negligent" on my recent project wrap-ups, but I promise the wait was worth it! I had to improvise a bit with a steak knife to get into this box (don't tell my kids!), but inside was an absolute papercrafting treasure. A Holly Jolly Christmas 🎄 First up is the Holly Jolly Christmas Collection . If you love traditional reds and greens but want that vintage flair, this is for you. Some of my favorite bits include: The "Chipboard" Goodies: Adorable reindeer, snowflakes, and "Joy to the World" die cuts. The Ultimate Cheat Code: I am obsessed with the "cut-apart" sheets.

My Grandma's Teacups: Turn your Cricut Explore into a Paper Doll Cutter

Making Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamps Easier with Cricut Cut Files (No More Fussy Cutting!) Why this game-changing tutorial is getting crafter clicks worldwide So it’s no secret that I am totally crazy about Prima Marketing’s Julie Nutting Dolls Stamps . I mean — I talk about them a lot… okay, really, really a lot. But they bring me such joy! They’re whimsical, expressive, and perfect for cards, scrapbooks, tags, journal layouts, planner spreads… You name it. But not everyone shares my undying love for fussy cutting all those tiny layers. Why This Matters: The Pain Point Every Crafter Knows Some of my crafty friends were less than thrilled about cutting out the myriad tiny pieces that make these dolls come to life. They liked the look of the finished product, but the process? Not so much. I get it — spending time with small, fiddly pieces isn’t everyone’s idea of creative zen. And let me confess something: that diminished my joy a bit. I wanted everyone to love them as much...
