Angsty and heartbreaking with personal sacrifice. Everyone deserves an HEA. High 3 overall.

A little tedious in final crisis, belaboring the angst. For heaven’s sake, what idiot takes the word of the villain instead of taking charge themself? ( )

Another delightful fun romantic romp from Janna MacGregor's Rogue Most Wanted continues the Cavensham Heiresses series and takes us to romantic Scotland. This book is as beautiful on the inside as its gorgeous cover is on the outside.

Entertaining story and great continuation of the Cavensham series. I was happy to see a few characters from the previous books back, but if you didn't know this was a series, this book does stand alone. When Thea told William she couldn't marry him, I thought my heart was breaking with him. Thank goodness she didn't have to marry her cousin to keep Ladykyrk! Great book with a HEA that I highly recommend. Can't wait to read the next one in the series!

Review originally published in my blog Romancing Romances.

When you choose a book by Janna MacGregor, you’re choosing well.

Rogue Most Wanted is funny, and romantic, and makes you feels good in all the right places.

I loved the characters, and identified very easily with them. Will had been hurt before, and Thea is willing to do almost anything to save and help those that depend on her – even if it means she’ll be unhappy.

They start as friends and end up in a fake engagement at the end to heat things up.

There’s no insta-love in this book. Will and Thea get to know each other, and fall in love slowly, and completely. I love their relationship, and how they become friends and then lovers.

The secondary characters are great! Will’s great-aunt, Stella, is the mastermind behind Will and Thea’s relationship, with the help of her best friend. These two older ladies provide a fun element to the book, with their conversations and tricks to help the lovebirds understand they belong together.

And it’s always a pleasure to re-visit characters we met in previous books. The Cavensham’s are a great family, they stick together, are very loyal, very friendly, and they not afraid to tell each other harsh truths when needed.

Theodora is alone in the world, and all she ever wanted was a family, friends, people she could rely on – and she found it with Will and his family. She fights for her title, her land, and her people, and the Cavensham’s are there to support her – by helping her enter London’s society. Thea has to prove she’s a countess, but due to being away from society – and everyone actually! – for almost all of her life, she doesn’t even know the basics of how to behave herself in society.

The book goes around her learning, and her connection with Will, and his family. As a reader, you feel so happy for Thea, she deserves to be happy, and have friends, and family. And Will, who was dumped when he believed to be in love, also deserves to have his life turned around. He evolves, and opens up, and finally learns to love again.

In short, you can’t go wrong with this book. ( )

While all the books in this series by Janna MacGregor have been amazing - this one is probably the best of all. A lone independent woman, Theodora was raised by her grandfather since she was a baby. At 18 she began to take on management of his estates as he sunk into dementia. After 7 years of running the estate by herself, her grandfather the duke died.
As a Scottish estate, she is in line to inherit the title of Countess and he estate of Ladywyck. A distant cousin is set to inherit her grandfather's Dukedom. Unfortunately he was to inherit both titles. Not because he cares about the Scottish estate but simply be cause heis greedy for what he can get out of the estate.
Everything hinges on finding the charter that bestows the title to the first heir, not the first male heir. She is able to get help from the Cavenshams who are all hoping that she will be the one to finally touch William's heart to find love.
When all seems lost, Theogdora must give up her dream to marry for love and instead accepts a proposal from the new Duke, to save the land and her tenants. There are many tearful scenes when reading this story. But true love finally prevails and Thea and William find their happily ever after.
Each chapter starts with a bit of gossip found the The Midnight Cryer. Each tidbit is deliciously nasty and you know the members of the ton live for each salacious tidbit.
I received an advanced copy of this book. ( )
