Publisher Description
Bestselling author Valerie Bowman sets the stage in Regency England for her Playful Brides series, where couples' misadventures on the way to the altar are witty, romantic romps based on some of the world's most beloved plays. The eighth installment, The Right Kind of Rogue, is inspired by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Can two star-crossed lovers come together—until death do they part?
Viscount Hart Highgate has decided to put his rakish ways behind him and finally get married. He may adore a good brandy or a high-speed carriage race, but he takes his duties as heir to the earldom seriously. Now all he has to do is find the right kind of woman to be his bride—ideally, one who’s also well-connected and well-funded. . .
Meg Timmons has loved Hart, the brother of her best friend, ever since she was an awkward, blushing schoolgirl. If only she had a large dowry—or anything to her name at all. Instead, she’s from a family that’s been locked in a bitter feud with Hart’s for years. And now she’s approaching her third London season, Meg’s chances with him are slim to none. Unless a surprise encounter on a deep, dark night could be enough to spark a rebellious romance. . .for all time?

Delightfully Delicious!
Meg Timmons has been head over heels in love with Hart Highgate since she was a young girl of sixteen. It helps when she’s best friends with his sister Sarah, but not her statues as a wallflower, how can a rogue ever notice her. And Heaven help her he is a threat to her heart.
With help from her friends she gets a make over hoping that she will catch Hart’s eye, she was a success every man including Hart noticed her and one late night encounter has Meg constantly on his mind. Matters are not helped with both of their families feuding. Meg is put in a position where Hart compromises her and she gets her wish and they marry but their marriage gets off on the wrong foot and trust issues make for a shaky start to the marriage.
This was a very enjoyable story the storyline flowed well the characters were interesting and entertaining. Several intense steamy moments plenty of mishaps and misunderstandings, eventually love opens Hart’s eyes and he becomes the man that Meg knew was behind his caveman antics. Well done Valerie Bowman!
