A Good Rogue Is Hard to Find

By: Kelly Bowen

Narrated by: Ashford McNab

The second novel in a trilogy about sexy adventures in Regency England is perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean, Elizabeth Boyle, and Tessa Dare.

He thought he'd seen it all ...
The rogue's life has been good to William Somerhall: He has his fortune, his racehorses, and his freedom. Then he moves in with his mother. It seems the eccentric Dowager Duchess of Worth has been barely skirting social disaster—assisted by one Miss Jenna Hughes, who is far too bright and beautiful to be wasting her youth as a paid companion. Now home to keep his mother from ruin, William intends to learn what's afoot by keeping his friends close-and the tempting Miss Hughes closer still.

... until he meets her
He's tall, dark, and damnably intelligent-unfortunately for Jenna. She and the duchess are in the “redistribution business,” taking from the rich and giving to the poor, and it's going great—until he shows up. But even as William plots to make an honest woman out of her, Jenna will use all her wiles to reveal just how bad a rogue he can be ...

Critic reviews

"Where have you been all my life, Kelly Bowen? If Julia Quinn, Sarah MacLean, and Lisa Kleypas were to extract their writing DNA, mix it in a blender, and have a love child, Kelly Bowen would be it."—HeroesandHeartbreakers.com

"Bowen's impish sense of humor is expressed by lively, entertaining characters in this wickedly witty Regency. This is pure romantic fun."—Publishers Weekly

"4 1/2 Stars! This is a shining example of Bowen's ability to make readers both laugh (at the wry and witty dialogue) and cry (at the poignancy within the romance). With wonderful characters, a quick pace and heated sensuality, Bowen has a winner."—RT Book Reviews

Ends Justifies the Means?

Interesting backdrop of horse breeding and racing but dangerous philosophy that OKS cheating for the good of others. Is fixing a horse race any different from fixing an election for the greater good? Not that far an ideological leap.

Story and Characters were great

This story kept me engaged in the entire book without much skipping forward. The Dowager Duchess and her staff were hilarious. This is definitely a must read.

Gripping story

Great book w original plot and good details about horse racing and ascot, and conditions in inner cities

Unbelievably Slow

Editing out all of the long thought narratives would have moved this story along considerably. The story premise of peerage debts was intriguing, but the conclusion of it failed to solve despite the quick caper ending. It was excruciating on many levels, and the sampler was misleading. It was the only exciting part of the whole book which then dragged out endlessly. I feel as if I wasted a credit.

Hot & Hilarious!

The imagination of this writer is exceptionally “peculiar!” Loved this, laughed out loud so many times, characters are so believable, I don’t know how she does it! I could truly imagine exactly what a drunken debutant might look like, a young hot butler, eccentric Dowager, “deaf” bookkeeper. I felt like I was there the entire time. And thank you to Ashford for pulling off all of these crazy characters brilliantly!
