Her Wicked Rogue
Scarlett Scott
Historical Regency
Archer Tierney has devoted his life to becoming one of the most powerful men in London. He’s cutthroat and merciless to anyone who crosses him and ruthless in his determination to always maintain the upper hand over friends and foes alike. There’s no situation he can’t control, no battle he can’t win. Until one fierce woman enters his carefully guarded world, leaving danger and desire in her wake, and bringing Archer to his knees.
Princess Anastasia St. George has lived beneath the tyrannical influence of her villainous uncle for ten long years. Her quest to find her exiled brother, the rightful heir to the throne, leads her directly to Archer Tierney. He’s cold, he’s calculating, he’s handsome as the devil. And there’s something about him she just can’t resist.
When the desperate princess offers him priceless crown jewels in exchange for his help to find her long-lost brother, Archer accepts. It’s her second, far-more-sinful proposition and its infinitely appealing reward, however, that tempts him most. But Anastasia is about to enter an arranged marriage, and a future between a wicked rogue and a royal princess is impossible. Even if Archer’s foolishly stubborn heart tells him otherwise…
Uncaged Review: . I hadn’t read any other book in this series, and I didn’t have a problem with following along. I may have been better attached to Archer if I had, but I grew to like him well enough. As for Stasia, I thought she was a little too high-brow for Archer in the first part of the book. It took awhile for me to warm up to her and only after reading her sacrifices, but she never really got over her “stiffness” to me.. This is a very original storyline, and in this book, there is sizzling romance, danger, deception and secrecy. Stasia will sacrifice almost everything for her people, including an arranged marriage and risking her life to find her exiled brother.
During this book, I felt both characters grew and the reader can feel the love they had for each other. I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed, and it could have been a bit more fleshed out, but overall, this was a nice read. I’m very interested in the secondary characters, so I’ll be hunting down a couple more of this series.
