“STAND…“When an audacious highwayman held up his coach and pointed a pistol at a rather crucial part of his anatomy, the Marquis of Bathurst had a critical choice to make—give up his dead brother’s ring or lose the family jewels. Gabriel decided to part with the memento, but only temporarily. He would track down the thief with the unforgettable green eyes if it was the last thing he did.
“AND DELIVER
“Everyone knew of the scandalous reputation of the Rogues of London. So when their most infamous member took her in his arms at a society ball, Olivia Fairfax realized his intentions were far from honorable. Gabriel’s hot pursuit made her emerald eyes widen and her pulse race, but was he after a lover or the hellion who’d dared to roc him at gunpoint? Either way, Olivia knew it was now her turn to hand over the goods, and she was more than willing to give him both her body and her heart.”
I just finished this book and—as I’m pretty sure you are tired of hearing by now when I talk about Connie Mason’s books—I loved it… Plain and simple, it was fantastic. All of the other books I have read by Mason thus far have all taken place before 1800, so this was a change. I knew that Mason knows her stuff when it comes to Scotland, England, and their tumultuous relations, the 1700’s, and medieval warriors, but I was interested in seeing how she would write a book that was mainly situated in 19th century London, England. I must say, she pulled it off very well. Not many authors can cover such varied topics, settings, and time periods so well, but Mason impressed me.
Her characters were unique and it kept me reading. Olivia was a one-of-a-kind heroine and she kept the story moving. Not to mention Gabriel was far from the regular rake that one would read about in a typical romance novel. He tugged at my heart and his interaction with his friends was so well-written.
Overall, I loved this book because Olivia and Gabriel were such wonderful characters. The plot, itself, was riveting and made me so excited to read the next books in the series (there isn’t an official title to this series, but I affectionately dubbed it the Rogues of London series—in the back of the book, Mason says she plans on writing the next books as stand-alones, but I plan on reading them as a series in the order that they are on her site. Any questions, just ask me!)
