BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Honor Among Rogues
Alexander Edgeware, Lord Xavier, has quite a reputation—for daring, wagering, and wickedness in all its delightful forms. But the wager before him is hardly his preferred sport: Xavier must persuade a proper young lady to attend his famously naughty Christmas house party—and stay the full, ruinous two weeks. Worse, the lady is Louisa Oliver, a doe-eyed bookworm Xavier finds quite charming. Yet to refuse the challenge is impossible—he will simply have to appoint himself Miss Oliver’s protector…
Mischief Among Misses
Louisa knows her chance for a husband has passed. But she has no desire to retire into spinsterhood without enjoying a few grand adventures first. When Lord Xavier’s invitation arrives, Louisa is more intrigued than insulted. And once inside the rogues’ gallery, she just may have a thing or two to teach her gentlemen friends about daring…
REVIEW:
4.5 Stars What a delightful story. I did not want to miss a word of it. The story was really enjoyable and the characters are written with such depth. I do think it was a bit too long (maybe 50 pages or so) and it took a bit too long for the characters to come together but the story leading up to it was so good that it makes up for it. There is something about Xavier that appeals to the reader. He is not an alpha male nor do we see the rake in him. What the reader sees is a male who begins his journey to realizing that every man has to grow up at some point and now is his time. And with Louisa we read of a woman who just wants to come out of the shadows and find happiness. Together they end up connecting on a level that neither knew they had.
It looks like this might be the second book that the author has written and I can’t imagine how much better she could possibly get with time and stories under her belt since this book is close to perfect. It also looks like the first book the author wrote was the beginning of The Seasons Series but this book can most certainly be read alone. I did and I didn’t even know another book had been written until after I finished this book.
Any fan of the historical romance genre will without a doubt enjoy this book. It has everything that a fan could want. I would recommend any fan to run out and pick it up.
