A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean

5.0

What a fun Regency, it features a scoundrel who learns that love is more important than revenge and the 'warrior' wife who teaches him that lesson by example.

This is something of a 2nd chances romance. Michael (Lord Bourne) and Lady Penelope were best friends as children. We met Lady Penelope briefly as she was the Duke of Leighton's short-term fiancee in 'Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart.' It's lovely to see her HEA.

Cover: Sumptuous.
Narrator: Rosalind Landor is the perfect Regency narrator.
Hogwarts Sorting Hat: This one is easy! Bourne is a Slytherin (similar to Draco Malfoy, Slytherin on the outside but with a good heart) and Penelope is the very best kind of Gryffindor.

Themes: gaming hell, London, Regency era/post-Napoleonic War, revenge, gambling, spurned fiancee, family
