A review by dianed
Live and Let Rogue by Eva Devon

4.0

This books starts out with events that had occurred but weren't explained - perhaps they happened in previous books in this series. Despite this, the story quickly picked up and the characters were well written and interesting. Meredith is ruined but even though her ruination is a secret, she is sent to live in Scotland. John, is the bastard son of a cruel Duke who had previously set out to get revenge on his half-brothers but is now reconciled with the family.
The current Duke, has managed to get John named an Earl in Scotland. He also is feeling bad about Merry's situation and has decided to sponsor her for a season in London. All he needs is to have his brother deliver the message to her in Scotland, where she conveniently is living with her uncle, the vicar on his estate.
The minute to two meet, sparks fly, she says she hate him but can't stay away. He says he has no feelings for anyone but can't keep his eyes off of her. Merry has managed to rise above her situation. John has never felt good enough and he needs Merry to help him see that he has changed and is a good man. It is interesting to see their relationship develop as they are drawn to each other throughout the book.
I received an Advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
