Miss Mari Powel can't stand Peter, Lord Whitly. He called
her "wayward" six years ago at a ball, and she's been fuming
over it -- and trying to live it down -- ever since. Peter
hasn't gotten her out of his mind since, either. Of course,
their first encounter since that fateful ball ends with a
wager that has the whole ton talking.
Author Jade Lee has a knack for writing strong characters
with complex psyches and weaving them into bold plots with a
hint of mystery and adventure. AS RICH AS A ROGUE doesn't
disappoint. Peter and Mari are smart, observant, and
insightful. They've both spent the last six years outlining
their plans for the future and trying to set themselves up
for success. The only thing standing in their way is the
sparks that fly when they spy each other across a room or a
crowded park.
I raced through this book in two days. Lee's books usually
have that effect on me. One thing I particularly loved about
AS RICH AS A ROGUE is the different way Mari and Peter react
to situations. Mari tends to have a knee-jerk response,
while Peter quietly thinks things through. I also enjoyed
the mystery Peter is trying to solve throughout the novel.
We get just hints of it throughout, but it ends up playing a
key role in his relationship with Mari and their future
together.
I highly recommend AS RICH AS A ROGUE to Regency romance
fans who enjoy a blend of humor and action-adventure with a
few steamy scenes of passion
Third in the saucy, vibrant Rakes & Rogues
Regency romance series from USA Today bestselling
author Jade Lee
A most unusual wager
Mari Powel's fiery Welsh temper is up. Peter Norwood,
Lord Whitly, is back in town after six years romping
around India making his fortune. Mari blames him for her
social downfall and has spent all this time clawing her
way back into the ton's good graces. How dare he show up
on his first day back and publicly embroil her in a bet
involving long-awaited apologies, illicit kisses, and
Lady Illston's unruly parakeet? Mari is outraged, and is
going to show him-and everyone else-what she's made of.
Little does she know, the unrepentant Lord Whitly has
been dreaming of her all this time. Now he'll do anything
to win the wager-along with Mari's heart.
