An absolute triumph from Lauren M. Hayworth! Favors from a Gentleman is a richly layered, emotionally resonant romance that has lingered in my thoughts long after reading the final lines.

This is Lauren’s second book, and her prose is exquisitely lush An absolute triumph from Lauren M. Hayworth! Favors from a Gentleman is a richly layered, emotionally resonant romance that has lingered in my thoughts long after reading the final lines.

This is Lauren’s second book, and her prose is exquisitely lush—elegant and decadent in a way that makes her historical romance feel truly sweeping. She has a real gift for drawing readers into both the external world of the story and the internal landscapes of her characters. Reading one of Lauren’s books is to be swept away by her words. Her rich prose is becoming a real hallmark of her writing.

At its heart, this is a story about grief and family bonds, and the ways they reshape identity, desire, and our sense of self-worth. At face value, Sophie and Rafe are both formidable characters on page one, but beneath the surface, they each are struggling to stay afloat beneath the weight of their family’s expectations. The dynamic between them—old money versus new—adds a small twist to the classic class difference romance set-up, and that subtle power imbalance is immediately compelling, especially paired with the delicious hook of Sophie blackmailing Rafe. What follows is a slow burn relationship built on tension, vulnerability, and gradual trust.

This is a dual-POV romance and for me, the emotional heart of the novel rests with Rafe. His journey is beautifully rendered—complex, painful, and deeply satisfying by the story’s conclusion. Rafe grapples with his past, his insecurities, and his family name, all to find his place in a world that constantly seems to shift underfoot…what a character arc! His growth feels hard-won and profoundly real. Watching him step into his own power—and finally believe himself worthy of Sophie’s love—is the beating heart of this book. I am wildly attracted to Rafe, what a man! 🥵🥵🥵

Favors from a Gentleman is a gorgeous Regency romance from Lauren Hayworth. She’s crafted something special here with a love story that feels both intimate and sweeping, grounded and transformative. Lauren is fast-becoming one of my favorite authors in the histrom space. ...more
