The League of Lusty Ladies Romance Book Club: April 2025
Alright, I’m a few days behind with this one, but it’s finally here—our April pick for the League of Lusty Ladies book club! And honestly? I think she’s the perfect choice for this season.
After reading Slaying the Vampire Conqueror by Carissa Broadbent for March (which, whew, still recovering), we’re shifting gears a bit this month. You all voted, and with 56% of the poll, historical romance came out on top. So I started combing through options… and the one I kept coming back to? Just felt right for spring.
Our April Pick: In Which Margo Halifax Earns Her Shocking Reputation by Alexandra Vasti
This one is fun, flirty, and full of scandal—aka, perfect for Aries season. Margo is bold and chaotic in the best way, and her love interest Henry has been pining for her for seven years. He’s the buttoned-up best friend of her brother. She’s the unpredictable twin with no patience for rules. They’re forced into a road trip to Scotland to stop a wedding. And yes, there is rain. And carriage cuddling. And tension. So much tension.

Even though this one’s a novella, you can treat it however you want:
Just read book 1 and enjoy the ride
Or binge all three books in the Halifax Hellions series—they’re all short, and the full trilogy is about the same length as one of our longer past picks.
