A rescued rogue... Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary.A captivating captor.... Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it. But when it becomes clear that whoever wants Colin alive wants Madeline dead, the two become uneasy allies in a deadly race for truth. Together, they'll face great danger, and a passion neither can resist.

A Sparkling Romance Adventure

4 stars

A very fun romance, starting with a daring and explosive rescue from the gallows, ending with a mad dash to a wedding, with some very endearing protagonists. A last minute twist might be a little too unbelievable if it didn't happen in such a delightful scene - very enjoyable throughout!
