ROGUE MOST WANTED is the fifth book in Janna MacGregor's Cavensham Heiresses series. In the prologue, Janna MacGregor details Lord William Cavensham's first disastrous exposure to that disease called "falling in love". William's innocence is shattered along with his heart, and he throws himself into a life of purpose and hard work. It's extremely fitting that William should be thrown together with the heroine of this book. Lady Theodora Worth, the new Countess of Eanruig, is exactly the sort of woman that William deserves. The thing that brings them together is the same problem that threatens to keep them apart -- the odious new Duke of Ferr-Colby and his plans to strip Theodora of her title. This story is framed as a sort of fairy tale with true love struggling to conquer all in the end.

In so many stories, it's usually the hero who acts noble and performs all manner of good deeds. In ROGUE MOST WANTED, the hero is a very good man, but it's the heroine who has responsibility heaped upon her and acts for the greater good, almost at her own expense. I love a story with two main characters who are classic "good guys" and are easy to cheer on as they battle villains and try to do what's right. Thea struggles to honor the memory of her late grandfather by supporting and championing the tenants of the Ladykyrk estate. What she wants versus what she feels she must do tear her apart. There are plenty of friends and family members who try and act as Cupid and help this romance along. Will eventually fights to keep Thea, and Janna MacGregor floods every page with longing, enchantment, and passion. For all the angst that's abundant when Will and Thea are temporarily separated, their reunion is deliciously romantic and poetic.

ROGUE MOST WANTED has a noble heroine and a dashing hero who fights to give her a happily-ever-after. This is an enjoyable story about duty versus desire and two good people who are almost undone by their goodness. I hope Avalon and Devan get together in a future book. I'm not normally a fan of the "enemies-to-lovers" trope, but I'm curious to see if anything develops between them.
