Publisher Description
"Brenda Hiatt has created a most different and dashing rogue." ~Kasey Michaels
To escape her stepmother's matchmaking machinations, Lady Pearl runs away, pretending to be a common housemaid, with the help of her abigail. When she is rescued from the near-disaster of recognition by a charming serving-man, Pearl pretends to be simpleminded to safeguard herself from any unwanted advances. But soon she begins to suspect that her rescuer is far more than the common servant he seemed at first.
Luke St. Clair lives a double life, pretending to be a gentleman while in reality sustaining himself and the needy as the notorious Robin Hood-type thief, the Saint of Seven Dials. The last thing he needs in his life is a beautiful simpleton in need of protection. But "Purdy" proves to be anything but simple—or common! Once he learns the truth, does he dare continue, in the ballrooms of the elite, the flirtation that began in the slums of London? The risk is enormous, but Lady Pearl's sweet kisses may just be worth it.
Customer Reviews
Rogue’s honor
A different type of premise. Enjoyable.
Ugh. Keep trying, Brenda
I’ve read thousands of romance books over the years. A good one is a joy. This wasn’t. While the characters were well-drawn and believable, the plot was tired and trite with annoying twists, the sex was laughable, and honestly, I was so underwhelmed that I had to stop ⅔ of the way through. I keep lists of authors I read and rate them 0-10 so if I encounter them again I know whether to buy a book or not. I would give this author a 2.
A Delightful Read
The story was very entertaining and believable. But I was a little irritated with Lord Bellowsworth character (I could almost scream) in which the author portrayed him as some spineless human being with no mind of his own.
Plot was good, the build up and the ending as well. I’m going to keep this author in my list.
