The Rogue's Reform: The Rogue's Reform\House of Secrets

December 1, 2011

Shocked to learn that their inheritance may be in question after their rakehell uncle dies in a duel, Jerome Everard and his brother and cousin head for Dallsten Manor in Cumberland to check out the supposed heiress and her governess. But Adele Dallsten Walcott and teenaged Samantha Everard are not at all the grasping opportunists the men expect--and what began as a quest to disprove a claim soon becomes far more complicated, dangerous, and romantic. VERDICT A memorable trio of dashing men, an admirable heroine, and a bright, spirited 16-year-old (who deserves a story of her own) are swept up in this intriguing Regency romance. Blessed with a puzzling mystery, good historical detail, and a sweet touch of faith, this title beautifully launches the series. A good choice for both Regency and historical inspirational collections. Scott (An Honorable Gentleman) lives in Kennewick, WA. This book marks the 15-year anniversary of the launch of the Love Inspired line (originally Steeple Hill) and contains a bonus novella by Marta Perry.
