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...
Growing up in isolation in Cornwall, Tamsin Penrose looks forward to the one month each year that she spends in an idyllic seaside town with her best friends. She’s shocked to receive a letter from her reclusive father informing her of a potential groom—they’ve never even discussed marriage and she rather expected to be a spinster. But she’s met a charming, if serious, baron and now she’s dreaming of a romantic, wedded life.
During his annual trip to a friend’s seaside estate, broody Isaac Deverell, Baron Droxford finds himself in an objectionable situation: socializing with a group of ladies over several days. He is not prepared for the storm of cheerfulness that is Miss Penrose, nor can he deny that she makes him feel…good.
Because Isaac is an unheroic rogue with a devastatingly sinful secret, he should flee this delightful ray of sunshine. However, he can’t keep his distance, and when her overzealous suitor arrives and won’t take no for an answer, Isaac protects her in a scandalously public fashion. Now he can’t run from her. Can these attracted opposites find a happy ever after, or will the past destroy their chance?
Customer Reviews
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.
Sunny Days Ahead
Why is there a connection between a grumpy baron and a find the positivity in any situation? Tamsin doesn’t let her upbringing interfere with her sunny disposition. Isaac is quite the opposite. They meet at a mutual friend’s yearly end of summer get together. Circumstances throw them into numerous, funny and supportive situations. Ms. Burke has a way of transporting the reader into her stories and this book is no exception. The characters are developed with individual personalities that are easily relatable.
Great Friends to Lovers Story!
“Because the Baron Broods” by Darcy Burke is the second book in her Rogue Rules series. I love a series about a bunch of friends, and have enjoyed both books in this series and look forward to more. Darcy Burke’s characters are expertly developed, you understand what they are feeling and why, and are drawn into their world.
A ray of sunshine meets the quiet, brooding baron who would rather work than socialize. Tamsin Penrose lives in a very quiet town and looks forward to her yearly trip to the seashore with her best friends.
Isaac Deverell, Baron Droxford feels the opposite although he attends the yearly get together with his friends, he stays to himself working and after a few days usually goes home.
Isaac had an unfortunate incident from his past that has shaped his temperament and soured his inclinations towards love and marriage. He has kept the incident secret and no one but his best friend knows the reason for his brooding personality.
Opposites attract and when he meets Tamsin her sunny disposition draws his attention. Unfortunately, before they can explore where their relationship might go, a situation occurs that is observed and misinterpreted so Isaac announces they are marrying.
I cannot say enough about the beautiful way Darcy Burke has written Tamsin and Issac. You truly understand the difficulties they have had because of their life experiences, and family dynamics but their journey from friends to lovers is sweet, touching, and passionate.
If you love a good Regency romance, I recommend you read this book. The story had a little of everything that makes a book enjoyable, great characters, friendship, self reflection, personal growth, romance and passion.
