About MY ROGUE, MY RUIN
“Smart and fast-paced with plenty of steam! This writing duo is a powerhouse of talent!” – New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan He stole their riches, she stole his heart The Marquess of Hawksfield’s lineage is impeccable and his title coveted, but Archer Croft is as far from his indulgent peers as he can get. His loathing for the beau monde has driven him to don a secret identity and risk everything in order to steal their riches and distribute them to the less fortunate. Lady Briannon Findlay embraces her encounter with the Masked Marauder, a gentleman thief waylaying carriages from London to Essex. The marauder has stirred Brynn’s craving for adventure, and she discovers an attraction deeper than the charming thief’s mask. Brynn is a revelation, matching Archer in intelligence, wit, and passion. Stubborn and sensuous in equal measure, she astonishes him at every turn, but when someone sinister impersonates Archer’s secret personality, and a murder is committed, Archer begins to think he doesn’t stand a fighting chance without her.

Review:
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
I haven't read many books that began with the hero robbing the heroine or vise versa. It was a good cause and I'll give him that though. You see Archer, our story's hero, is another Robin Hood. He steals from rich people to give it to those who are in need like his half sister once was. The connection between him and Brynn is instant, but their way towards their happily ever after has a lot of obstacles. Brynn is not the kind of tame woman you will find in England at the time. She is fencing with her brother, wears breeches and knows how to aim and pull the trigger. Both of them were very like-able and a perfect match for the other. The biggest threat in their relationship isn't Archer's secret identity, but an enemy who wants to see Archer destroyed and does horrible things.
I must admit I was surprised by the identity of the villain and I was hoping to see the big villain getting some kind of redemption. That ending made me sad to be honest. The book was good and the story flew easily. I was happy because the author choose not to create some over the top drama when Brynn found out the truth about him. The book doesn't exactly remind me of something I would see in a historical novel. I am getting disappointed and I find myself thinking that the good HR romance authors are an endangered species. I want to get the sense of forbidden for once this year. I want a wallflower. I will read the second book if I get a chance and I hope I will like it more. I would recommend the book, but with a little caution.
