At Last the Rogue Returns (bk #1)
3 of 5 stars, England 1820. Romance w/ mystery.
Miles, a viscount, spent 5 yrs making his fortune in India. He trusted someone to see to the care of his tenants. Lydia (an heiress)
confronted Miles about his poor treatment of his tenants while he was away. He even doubled the rents! These 2 visited his tenants
together. Several facts proved she'd misjudged Miles.
This story involved sabatoge IE a fire, etc. & was top-heavy with 5 antagonists! I felt the love story became lost in the shuffle.
A Wicked Wager (bk #2)
4 of 5 stars. England 1820. Romance w/ mystery.
Devlin thought he 'won' the baron's witchy dtr Hannah in a card game but he got the baron's illegit dtr Juliet instead. He actually
won: Juliet was calm, reasonable, & honest, Hannah's opposite. He wanted revenge against Hannah for spreading false rumors
about her late, ex-fiancé Ambrose (bro of Dev) being gay. One poster on another forum thought the author homophobic. But
I disagreed. A man in that time period could have been killed by the government for being gay. So Hannah chose the most
outlandish lie to cause the most harm to the legacy of Ambrose. Even though Ambrose broke the engagement, he allowed Han
to claim she did.
The H+ h talked things out. Dev used his brains + brawn to 'turn the tables' on those who meant the couple harm. Dev the brooder
turned into a happy man.
