Maybelle Ballenger -- known as "Bluebell" -- learned at a young age how to take care of herself and her friends. The one thing she lacks is a proper accent. Bram Hallowsby got the right education, but as the bastard son of a duke, he'll never be accepted by the ton. When Bram is stranded in the remote town of Hull, Maybelle realizes he is her chance to escape the village and be accepted in London.
Author Jade Lee has a knack for putting her hero and heroine into impossible situations. Reading ONE ROGUE AT A TIME, I couldn't imagine how Bram and Bluebell would be able to achieve their goals and end up happily together, too. She had me wondering right to the end. Getting there is a magnificent romp through small towns and London townhouses. She populates her stories with unique and memorable characters, from whinging society swindlers to good-natured villagers to a cantankerous pig. The story also has its fair share of intrigue; Bram is providing protection for the aforesaid swindlers, and one of their marks is hell-bent to get his money back.
ONE ROGUE AT A TIME is a fast-paced, exciting reinvention of the Pygmalion myth, with spicy love scenes and smart banter. It's a great choice for fans of Regency and historical romance who like their love stories laced with a little mystery and danger.
Brant Hallowsby grew up on the fringes of high society; heβs neither a commoner nor a true nobleman. As a bastard son of nobility, he can talk the talk, but ultimately has nothing to loseβ¦and thatβs exactly what Bluebell Ballenger needs.
Bluebell needs Brantβs help so that she can become a perfect English rose, because, like him, sheβs both a part of the ton and excluded from it. Brant knows sheβs hiding something from him, but as he starts falling for her soft skin and sparkling eyes, it no longer seems to matter. Until he discovers the one thing that could tear them apart.
