Overview:
Two clever, bold adventures by Mackenzi Lee come together in this must-have two-book set. The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue follows Monty, a young bisexual British lord, as he travels across 18th-century Europe with his best friend/secret crush. The novel blends lush period detail with a razor-sharp voice, delivering a romantic, high-stakes adventure that sparkles with humor and heart. The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy picks up a year after that whirlwind Grand Tour: Felicity Montague has returned to England with two goals in mind—avoid the marriage proposal of a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh and enroll in medical school. Yet the Administrators still see men as the gatekeepers of science, and Felicity meets their expectations with intellect, grit, and an unquenchable will to prove herself. Together, these two novels form a complete, binge-worthy reading journey—an unapologetically modern spin on historical adventures that celebrates curiosity, courage, and queer romance across Europe.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This duo is designed to be read as a single, immersive arc. Both novels share Monty’s family energy, quick-fire dialogue, and irresistibly brave heroines who challenge social norms. The set blends high-spirited escapades with intimate moments that deepen character and theme—friendship, romance, and the pursuit of knowledge—giving readers a cohesive experience from opening page to final line. Fans of historical fiction with a modern sensibility will relish the seamless tonal thread between Monty’s irresistible misadventures and Felicity’s relentless drive for medical training. Owning the complete set invites a richer reading journey, satisfying both the crave-for-more and the joy of a well-timed cliffhanger—an ideal gift for binge-readers, book clubs, or anyone who loves humor, heart, and bold adventures in the past made fresh for today.
