Rogue Rules
When a young lady is ruined, her friends vow none of them will ever be ensnared by a scoundrel again. They will resist every gentleman’s charms even—and especially—if it means gaining a reputation for being impossible to woo. It will take extraordinary rogues to break their rules...
Because the Baron Broods
Despite growing up isolated with a self-involved father in Cornwall, Tamsin Penrose possesses a perennially positive outlook and sees the best in everything. So, when her father says he’s found a potential groom for her, she is optimistic and perhaps even a little excited—until she meets an enigmatic, unsmiling baron. Intrigued by his serious nature, she’s desperate to turn his frown upside down.
Isaac Deverell, Baron Droxford is unprepared for the storm of cheerfulness that is Miss Penrose, nor can he deny that she makes him—a perpetually dour brooder—feel good. He doesn’t deserve the friendship of someone so charming and kind, let alone the burgeoning attraction between them. However, when her father’s overzealous suitor arrives and won’t take no for an answer, Isaac protects her in a scandalously public fashion.
Forced to propose marriage, Isaac can’t allow Tamsin to see past his grumpy, protective shield. For then, she’ll know she’s done the unimaginable and married a rogue with a despicable secret. Tamsin believes they can find happiness, but will she still feel the same when his past is revealed?
Customer Reviews
Because the Baron broods
Typical Darcy Burke . . . excellent book.
Broody Baron
Isaac Deverell, Baron Droxford, is not fond of socializing, but comes to a friend’s house party each August. Tamsin Penrose is somewhat isolated in Cornwall where she manages her father’s household. She enjoys visiting her friends and grandmother in Weston every August. Isaac and Tamsin are opposites. He is broody and she is a ray of sunshine. Despite this, the two of them are attracted to each other. When an unwanted suitor approaches her inappropriately, Isaac steps in. They wed, but pain and secrets, especially on Isaac’s side put a wedge between them. Tamsin is patient, but there are tough obstacles between them and happily ever after. The second story in the Rogue Rules is a well-written, touching story with strong characters. An entertaining addition to the series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Sweet and boring
