A rescued rogue...

Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary.

A captivating captor...

Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it. But when it becomes clear that whoever wants Colin alive wants Madeline dead, the two become uneasy allies in a deadly race for truth. Together, they'll face great danger - and a passion neither can resist.

Contains mature themes.

I enjoyed the clever banter between Colin and Madeline. This author knows how to create longing and a satisfying conclusion with each of her stories. Now, I am longing to start the next book in the series!

Clever banter

Great banter, intelligence and humour. Sexy, passionate and yet still within the realm of believability for the period. A storyline which keeps revealing itself along the way. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Well read.

Intriguing, unpredictable plot which keeps you guessing.

Well worth it

I did enjoy the story, though it was slow. Some things got on my nerves like the author repeating words like "slowly, slowly" and "very, very" etc. It was overall very good.

Entertaining

I like the storyline. The characters were well developed. I love a good happily ever after following some turmoil.

Good HEA

Truly the narrator has done 400 books with that fake, screeching voice. The only reason I finished was because of the mystery. At that it took me 3 weeks before I could stomach her voice. I could only speak air about an hour a day. My time is too precious to waste on such a narration. Truly there are great narrators but she is not one. Will not be buying the rest of the series.

Good Story TERRIBLE Narrator

One of the best romance authors I’ve read for so many reasons: characters, plot, world building and descriptions. The reader is perfect, capturing the subtleties of emotion/humor and harmonic writing style.
