Never Trust a Rake
The Arrogant Rogue The uncrowned king of broken hearts, Gabriel Sinclair is rescued from an untimely end by an angel. But golden-haired Louisa Peabody is not only the most beautiful woman he's ever seen; she's also the first to find him totally resistible--a challenge he can't ignore. So he willingly aids her in her reform efforts...knowing that eventually, he'll get what he wants. The Determined Reformer Louisa has appointed herself the defender of innocents, knowing no man can be trusted--yet she only pretends to be unaffected by Gabriel. For his tantalizing whispers invite her to abandon her fears and his stolen kisses make her burn. But which is more his enticing smile or his vulnerable heart? And does she really want to reform him...or surrender to him?

About the author
Eileen Putman
17 books43 followersEileen Putman's love for England's Regency period has inspired her research trips to Britain, France and other European countries -- there being no substitute for stepping on the very soil that Beau Brummell and his champagne-polished Hessians trod in such incomparable style.
About the Maitland's Rogues series:
Andrew Maitland isn’t really the devil, but he might as well be. Feared and loathed, he has assembled an extraordinary group of daring rogues who worked clandestinely for England during the Napoleonic Wars. Hardened and deadly, they have no use for love--until it ensnares them.
The books:
King of Hearts
Lord Shallow
Lord Difficult
About the Love in Disguise series:
In these tales of Regency intrigue, nothing is as it seems: A street wench masquerades as a debutante to fulfill a rake’s wager; an actress pretends to be a vengeful lord’s mistress to catch a killer. A noble war hero disguises himself as a much older man to woo an on-the-shelf spinster. An independent widow forces her disapproving business partner to pretend to be her fiancé — and teach her about passion.
All are daring masquerades, with love as the prize.
The books:
The Perfect Bride
The Dastardly Duke
A Passionate Performance
Reforming Harriet

Not a bad read, hero and heroine both somewhat traumatized by earlier experiences, some silly but predictable adventures. Entertaining read, without being wildly memorable or a keeper.

A little boring, once you get further in the book it's better, but it's slow at first and a bit confusing. I enjoyed it overall for the most part, though.
