Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 If you like enemies-to-lovers romance, then you probably want to read When a Marquess Loves a Woman. It's got all my prerequisites for a good Regency romance-loads of sexual tension, a heroine who owns her shit, and epic sass-battles. Also canoodling in libraries. Also a stock market crash. There's a lot going on in this book. 
 Juliet's sense of self-worth is so tied into her appearance, and is so damaged by the neglect of her parents and the abuse of her late husband, that she struggles to find value in herself. Despite the fact that Max's "hatred" of Juliet is based on his inability to handle rejection like a goddamned adult, he clearly respects and admires her. Their conversations are an ongoing fencing match, and he values her intelligence and sass. Now a wealthy, beautiful widow, Juliet is used to flowers showing up at her house, but Max sends her gifts that appeal to her sense of humor and interests. 
 To be honest, the "enemies" thing is pretty thin, especially when Max and Juliet clearly use it to spend time together and especially when everyone around them realizes they are in love. It's a trope that works well for me, and combined with Juliet finding her agency after a shittastic marriage, it sold the book for me. Sometimes I eye-rolled real hard at Max, but he's not a lost cause. 
 When a Marquess Loves a Woman is actually the third book in a series, and since I really enjoyed it, I'm going to go back and read the first two. If you like banter and flirting disguised as fighting, I highly recommend it.
