Synopsis:
Meet the Earl of Redmere in the 1st book in the Rogues of Redmere series, a brand new Regency romance series by #1 bestselling author Samantha Holt. Red never shies away from a challenge. Never. But when Miss Hannah St. John strides into his life demanding—yes, demanding—he help her, he’s certain she’s more challenge than even he can handle. Hannah is determined to transport an artifact from France—one that will change everything—even if it means working with a lawless man like Red. Nothing is more important than preserving history. Nothing. Not even the touch of a smuggler who inconceivably makes her stomach twist. When it becomes clear the irritating bluestocking will do anything for this blasted artifact and needs saving from herself, the earl-turned-smuggler steps in. Carting a cursed stone across the country with a know-it-all woman is not Red’s idea of fun, particularly when their journey runs far from smoothly…so why does he find himself enjoying her company just a little too much? You're the Rogue that I Want is book 1 in the Rogues of Redmere series. It can be read as a standalone story and has a HEA. It includes some steamy content.
My Thoughts:
An amusing story full of humor, suspense and romance!
An excellent well written story with humor and romance mixed with twist and turns along the way. The characters are well developed and keep with the period of history. The characters are created to be real people with physical and emotional flaws that you can’t help but understand, identify with and love. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down. I liked the uniquely written story that contained humor while providing us a bit of romance and intrigue. It was different than any other story I have read, which is a strength in my opinion. Too often you feel that you are reading a book that is the same story line with just different characters’ name and places. This book is truly a one of a kind adventure.
Samantha Holt is a talented writer and has given us another well written book. This book is part of a series however it is a stand-a-lone with a happily ever after ending. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a short funny and suspenseful story with a touch of romance mixed in.
