MY NEW RELEASE REVIEW of
My Rogue, My Ruin
by Amalie Howard & Angie Morgan
Publisher’s Description:
The Marquess of Hawksfield’s lineage is impeccable and his title coveted, but Archer Croft is as far from his indulgent peers as he can get. His loathing for the beau monde has driven him to don a secret identity and risk everything in order to steal their riches and distribute them to the less fortunate.
Lady Briannon Findlay embraces her encounter with the Masked Marauder, a gentleman thief waylaying carriages from London to Essex. The marauder has stirred Brynn’s craving for adventure, and she discovers an attraction deeper than the charming thief’s mask.
Brynn is a revelation, matching Archer in intelligence, wit, and passion. Stubborn and sensuous in equal measure, she astonishes him at every turn, but when someone sinister impersonates Archer’s secret personality, and a murder is committed, Archer begins to think he doesn’t stand a fighting chance without her.
My Thoughts:
I had not read anything by either of this pair of co-authors previously but found this new book in a new genre for them extremely well written and very intriguing.
I am always on the lookout for new authors in historical romance which is mostly what I read.
This pair of authors have come together and created a very well written story with intriguing characters in a genre which is totally new for both of them.
They keep you guessing as to the identity of the villain until the last few chapters. I had thought I may know the identity of the murder but could not be certain until it was revealed.
I would give this book a 4.75 out of 5 stars for storyline and character development. It is hard to believed that two writers have come together to develop such a well written story.
My heat rating is 3 of 5 flames. There was not a great deal of sexual byplay but what there was is very heated.
I received a complimentary digital ARC of this title from the publisher via NetGalley to read and review. This in no way affected my opinion of this title.
