Samantha Grace's novel IN BED WITH A ROGUE contains the
right amount of humor, romance and suspense! I loved it.
Ms. Grace creates a fabulous hero in Sebastian Thorne.
Sebastian tugged at my heart from the very beginning of
this story. The novel begins with our hero at a drinking
at a bar in a seedy part of town. Sebastian is drinking
quite a bit because he was left at the alter by his
fiancé . He is tired of the gossip and being featured daily
in the Society pages of the paper. He is attacked outside
the bar and the thieves steal his money and his boots! His
boots--how embarrassing! Before Sebastian passes out from
too much drinking and a beating, he thinks he sees an angel.
Lady Helena Prestwick is searching for her sisters. She
believes one sister may be working in the Whitechapel
section of London. Helena is the angel who finds the
injured Sebastian and returns him to his home. A few
evenings later, Sebastian and Helena meet at a society
event and they are attracted to each other. Sebastian loves
his family and is very loyal and he desires to see his
sister who was also left at the alter settled. He makes a
bargain with Helena which benefits both of them .
Ms. Grace 's subtle commentary on the social classes
reminds the reader that there is an underlying meaning to
the novel. The differences between the aristocracy and the
working class are brought to light as Helena's own story
is revealed and as she and Sebastian search for her
sisters. Sebastian is falling for Helena. But, Helena
enjoys her status as a widow and the freedom it provides
her. Although, she is falling in love with the captivating
Sebastian, Helena says she's not ready to commit to
marriage. The search for Helena's sisters takes the couple
from the seedy sections of London to ballrooms and soirées
and to the countryside. Will Sebastian figure out where
the sisters are living and who is threatening Helena? Will
Helena admit her feelings for Sebastian?
