Publisher's Summary

A rescued rogue...

Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary.

A captivating captor...

Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it. But when it becomes clear that whoever wants Colin alive wants Madeline dead, the two become uneasy allies in a deadly race for truth. Together, they'll face great danger - and a passion neither can resist.

Contains mature themes.

Some good twists

I liked both the MCs but there were moments I balked a bit during the love scenes, I couldn't get past the fact Colin had been quite some time without a bath 🤣.

Delightful rollicking romance

Contrary to some other reviews I really enjoyed the narrator. Possibly because she dioes speak quickly, for me, it keeps the story rolling along nicely. I find it refreshing that the heroine tammy is a heroine in that she swoops in to save the day and Colins life. The story is fast paced and with a few twists and turns thrown in it kept me engaged throughout. I have read another book in this series completely out of chronological order but did not find that it dejtracted from this. I'm now off to read the rest.

The story dragged

It dragged out a little too long and there were a fair few plot points that I really wished had gone another way. Felt like the ending was rushed and the romance was an afterthought. It had so much more potential, so 2.5 stars.
