"Lady Ferocity" by Kate Archer is a delight from start to finish! The story follows Lady Felicity Nicolet, affectionately nicknamed “Ferocity” by her family, as she navigates her debut into society alongside her eccentric father, the Duke of Pelham, and her six equally unconventional sisters. The Duke is a scene-stealer with his wild antics and unfiltered humor, and the family’s dynamic is chaotic but close-knit.

Enter Percy Stratton, a man determined to avoid marriage at all costs. His plan? To feign interest in Felicity, knowing his father would never approve of a match with the Duke’s daughter. What follows is a series of misunderstandings, schemes, and humor as Percy and Felicity’s pretend courtship takes on a life of its own. The supporting cast is just as memorable, from the Machiavellian housekeeper, Mrs. Right, to Felicity’s sisters, who each have their own quirks and personalities. And yes, there’s even a Bengal tiger involved—because why not?

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Amazing series beginning. I found myself laughing at the scheming Felicity and Miles attempted to enact, all while accidentally falling for each other. The supporting characters, including the eccentric Duke, protectively diabolical housekeeper and slew of equally odd sisters make for a rousing, delightful read! Thank you, Kate Archer, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

This first book in the new Series of Senseless Complications was a captivating and well written historical romance about an eccentric Duke and his seven daughters. This story evolved around his eldest and her debut into the ton. It was extremely humorous and witty, with so many off the wall incidents that kept me highly entertained. I really enjoyed the daily dynamics and the delightful characters, including the cook. I can't wait for the second book. I highly recommend reading!

This was such a fun read. I did not doubt it as it was by Kate Archer, and she authors stories that have you laughing out loud repeatedly while at the same time cheering for the MCs.

In this book, the main characters are Lady Felicity or Ferocity as she is known, although she rarely loses her temper and Percy Stratton who will inherit the Viscountcy from his father. His father is determined that Percy marry and set up his home and Percy is just as determined not to be. His favourite phrase is "I will not be chained"! Famous last words!

For Felicity, her father the Duke of Pelham is hilarious to his family, constantly informing all who will listen that he is determined to get his daughters married as soon as possible and bar the door to them come Christmas! Of course, all his daughters know that the duke is all bark and no bite, but the rest of the ton is shocked to say the least.

A wonderful start to the series. Lots of promising characters to get to know in future books, including that Machiavellian housekeeper cum butler cum surrogate mum to the girls, Mrs Right!

I received an ARC from the publishers and NetGalley and submit my honest review voluntarily.

I think Kate Archer is a new author for me because I’m sure I’d remember a writing style as fabulous as this. Felicity and Percy are such fun characters you’ll be delighted from page one. I laughed throughout this book and felt such a connection with them both. The humor is used to perfection. The story is solid and takes you down the path of Percy’s change of heart once he gets to know Felicity and her ‘unique’ family. I loved the Duke and cannot wait to see how he gets rid of the rest of his daughters!

Lady Ferocity was very fun to read, I laid in bed at night reading the book, shaking with so much laughter that my husband would give me the side eye and ask me what I was reading. The deranged Duke was the hit of the entire book and I can not wait to read the adventures of the other 6 Duke's daughters. You can tell that he truly loved his girls and wanted the best for each. Percy was the hero we all wanted him to be, and Sir Pineapple, Lady Misery, and especially Mrs Right added the finishing touches to this tantalizing tale!

This book gives Bridgerton vibes without the spice. It does have it's own flavor though. I loved the banter and bickering between the family. I really liked the family bond and how it was shown. I kept wanting to see what the father would do next. I hope that there are more books coming from this author because I am here for this version of the Ton! I will gladly add this to my library shelf and would recommend it to friends that enjoy a lighter romance or historical comedy.

This was a strong start to the Series of Senseless Complication series, it had that element that I wanted and enjoyed the use of the historical setting and was invested in what was going on. The characters were everything that I was looking of and was glad they worked in this universe. Kate Archer has a strong writing style and am excited for more in this series.

A Delightfully Hilarious Historical Romance

He will not be chained, or so he thinks. When love strikes, it changes all his plans, but what happens when Lady Felicity discovers the truth? Percy wants to thwart his father, but he does not think love will upset the balance of his world.

This story is absolutely hilarious. Felicity and Percy might have been the stars of the show, but the side characters were fantastic, too. I loved the duke’s antics, and I enjoyed his most unconventional housekeeper. This might be my favorite story by this author. It kept me reading, long after bedtime.

I have never met such an excentric cast of characters in a historical romance before. I couldn't stop giggling all through the story. To think that this is the first in what will obviously be a seven part series filled me with glee. I almost felt sorry for the Duke's poor sister. I love the Duke himself, and Mrs Right.
Our hero surprises us with nerves of steel.
A sweet romance that doesn't need any steamy bits to make it a thoroughly enjoyable read.
I loved it.

Thank you NetGalley and Kate Archer for supplying me an arc copy of Lady Ferocity to read and review.

I love historical romance and I enjoyed reading Lady Ferocity. Felicity and her sisters are unconventional and their father is eccentric, in the best of ways. I love the banter between them and it reminds me of my own sisters. The romance between Felicity and Percy is sweet but a little slow going for me. It took me halfway through the book to feel attached to their relationship, but it did take off after that. (Yes, there really is a tiger.) It is closed door which is my personal preference. I do think that the shifts in point of view were choppy throughout the book. It could be hard to tell whose perspective it was following and it changed in unnatural places. But, I did enjoy having perspectives from multiple characters. Overall, I think Lady Ferocity is a great start to A Series of Senseless Complications.

" I won't be chained!"
This book is hilarious. Kate Archer's campy writing style reminds me of Anya Wylde. The entire family is awesome, including the father-in-law. "I warn you!"
I needed something light-hearted. Thank you for this book and I'll be looking forward to the rest of the sisters.

I received this book as a gift from the publisher. Opinions are my own.

Lady Ferocity is only that name because of here temper. AKA Lady Felicity. For the most part she is well mannered. Her family is considered eccentric mainly because they do not form to society's norms but what fun is that?
I found this novel quite fun and hilarious. Mainly those with a gaggle of sisters would identify with this family. I am here to tell ya, it's spot on. No two sisters are a like. I love the house keepers take in all of it! My afavorite part in the whole book? Mrs. Right was seated on the floor with Valor dead asleep in her arms. Her other sisters had made their way into the dining room to demolish what was left on the table. Lady Marchfield, like any wise general, had left the field when it became apparent she would lose the battle. Lord Marchfield had fetched a brandy for both himself and the duke and sat bemusedly on the staircase.........Now you will have read why the queer thing was happening.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with guidelines.

I Loved It! Kate Archer has written one awesome rom-com that hooks you on the first page and doesn't let go. Take one eccentric Duke and his seven daughters plus one very original housekeeper and you have a hilarious journey to find the eldest daughter a husband. Percy Stratton finds himself totally mystified with the Duke of Pelham and his daughter. Percy comes up with a plan to avoid being married as his father demands, he wont be chained down! But as plans usually go they end up full of crazy twists and turns. Lady Ferocity is filled with laughter, family unity, you will fall in love with each character as their individual personalities become more than just part of the tale they come off the pages and pull you into their story, the book flowed well from one thing to another without being forced and the scenes are so strikingly detailed it paints an incredible backdrop that you can't wait for the next book in the series.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Percy and Felicitys romance is just fraught with much hilarity, eccentric people, deviousness and a slew of relatives.

This is a light read with many lol moments that bring the two young hearts together. Kate Archer delivers a fab read.

Lady Ferocity by Kate Archer is a highly amusing book about a family of seven daughters, Felicity (Ferocity) being the eldest. Ferocity only shows up occasionally. They are a family of eccentrics whose father is a duke and possibly the most eccentric of all. They are ostracized from the ton but it doesn’t really matter as they live in the country anyway. The duke’s sister shows up, intending to usher Felicity through he season and wreaks havoc on the family, disapproving of nearly everything they do and say. She is not met with open arms but the family takes the path of least resistance and deals with her as long as they are able. Mr. Percy Stratton is the son of the Viscount Denderby, who along with his wife has determined it to be time Percy is married. They lay the law down to him but he has a plan, as he is not ready to marry. He will locate the most unlikely person available, who would never accept him and pursue her, convincing his family he will be happy with no one else. You guessed it: Lady Felicity.

Percy is clever, almost too clever. Felicity is not nearly as difficult as her nickname suggests, But perhaps the most amusing part of the book its the bit where her father, the Duke of Pelham, sees what his going on between the two and steps in. They have no butler, just a housekeeper, Mrs. Right, who sees to it that there is no butler. All of the things she does, which are many and extremely creative and amusing, she does with the tacit approval of the duke. It makes his life easier. This is the funniest Regency romance I have ever read and I congratulate Kate Archer on that feat. The characters are entertaining and the plot is passable. Well worth the read.

I was invited to read Lady Ferocity by Dragonblade. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #Dragonblade #KateArcher #LadyFerocity

I have read all Kate Archer's books and they are always a fun cast of eccentrics. This book is easily the funniest I have read - I laughed out loud more than once.

Percy, son of Viscount Denderby will not be chained! His father is insisting he gets married so he creates a ruse where he pretends to fall in love with Felicity, daughter of a very eccentric Duke. Felicity is trying to attract the attention of a quite stick-ish Earl after an unfortunate sneezing incident.

There are pranks, siblings, misunderstandings and a bit with a tiger... I thoroughly recommend.

I read an advanced copy from Netgalley.

What a fantastic way to start a new series! First if you haven't read this author, I'd highly recommend starting this series. She writes, doesn't use AI and is always producing remarkable stories.
A duke, who always thinks he's right has seven daughters and no sons. That is the beginning of a hysterically funny family. Because he's never wrong or so he believes, he and his family have irritated the ton for years. Now the girls are of marriageable age and Felicity aka Ferocity is the oldest. Her neighbor father can't stand the duke but his son, Percy needs her to stay unmarried. The entire cast of characters are so engaging, it's hard to tell which one I love the best. Oh! Did I forget to mention a tiger as well. I promise this is one series and author you don't want to miss out on.

First in a new series about an eccentric Duke and his seven daughters. What a hoot this story was, I laughed out loud on several occasions and thoroughly enjoyed the blossoming romance between Lady Felicity and Percy Stratton. The mother hen housekeeper is positively machiavellian and the youngest daughter Valor is a cutie pie. I can’t wait to find out what happens when the accident prone Grace takes her place in the Ton.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A delightfully charming regency romance that masterfully weaves together a cast of memorable characters. The story follows Felicity, our spirited heroine, and Percy, the dashing hero, whose arrangement of convenience inevitably stirs deeper emotions. Their pretend relationship—each harboring their own motives—unfolds against a rich backdrop of supporting characters, including a eccentric duke, Felicity's father, her intriguing sisters, and an ever-present housekeeper who adds authentic period flavor to the narrative.

While this closed-door romance excels in creating a sweet, slow-burning attraction between our leads, one might wish for more intimate moments between Felicity and Percy—not necessarily in the physical sense, but rather those quiet, meaningful exchanges that truly illuminate their growing bond. These additional scenes could have further heightened the emotional payoff of their inevitable union.

Despite this minor shortcoming, the novel proves to be an entertaining escape into the regency era, leaving me eager to discover future installments in the series. The author's talent for crafting an engaging narrative while maintaining period authenticity makes this a worthwhile addition historical romance readers!
P.S. I received the ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade publishing and all opinions are my own.
