Lady Taffeta is one of the members of Rogue’s Three with the
other two being her old brother and her not much older uncle. They are playing at a bit of Robin Hood and
end up holding up the wrong carriage.
Their aim is the tyrannical mill owners, but end up holding up the
infamous rakehell Hotspur who is the nephew of one of their neighbors. Lady Taffy must strike a deal with Hotspur
(aka Lord Thurston Tarrant) to keep his silence about the Rogue’s Three.
Lady Taffy ends up in the capable hands of her aunt who is
determined to provide a successful season for Lady Taffy. Hotspur is the hottest catch of every season
as he has not one interest in debutantes.
There is something about Taffy that intrigues him and so he unwittingly
draws the haute ton’s attention to her by dancing the waltz with her at her
first dance. But of course although he
is intrigued he still does not like her and he is definitely not the kind of
man that Taffy is hoping to attract.
There were a lot of similarities between this book and
Runaway Heart by the same author, but I loved both of them. Again the heroine is strong and capable of
saving herself. The love isn’t instant
for anyone. I loved it. It was a super quick read and
delightful.
Favorite quote: (at the beginning, this is Hotspur to
Taffeta after discussing that she would not pursue him as a husband and he
would not attempt to seduce her)
“Then I think not,” he said brightly. “War it is, my lady, and to the victor go the
spoils.”
