Description

An emotional, marriage-of-inconvenience, rags to riches romp from a New York Times bestselling author:

Disguised as a country miss, Charlotte Devon flees London, desperate to leave her tattered reputation behind. In Scotland, her estranged father’s noble blood will finally make her a respectable debutante. Except she finds herself accidentally wed to a devil-may-care rogue with a sinful smile. He’s the last thing she needs…and everything her traitorous heart desires.

Charming rake Anthony Fairfax is on holiday to seek his fortune…and escape his creditors. When an irresistible Lady Luck wins him in a game of chance—and a slight mishap has them leg-shackled by dawn—the tables have finally turned in his favor. But when past demons catch up to them, holding on to new love will mean destroying their dreams forever.

In the Rogues to Riches historical romance series, Cinderella stories aren’t just for princesses…

    Anthony Fairfax was just too charming. I absolutely adore him. I would give it a 5 if not for some instances of repeated thoughts. Overall, it was a great read that I finished in about 2 or 3 nights :)
  • So so … predictable, no humor

    Such a lovely, sweet story. The ever kind and humble Anthony and Charlotte are characters I grew to love very quickly. Important for me in all Ridley books is the humor she weaves throughout her stories. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
  • Easy read

    Easy read. I love my books with a bit more steam. Also very repetitive, but other than that an entertaining read.
  • Pretty good story!

    The author is very creative. This book kept me interested all the way through to the end. I wish that the sex scenes weren’t so graphic though. I would give it five stars if it was clean enough to read to my kids.

    As long as you are loved and in love, live life and be happy. A beautiful story about love, family, acceptance, and the willingness to change unacceptable behavior for the better. Truly beautiful,

    I thought the two leads were likable and sympathetically written. I also appreciated that it wasn’t as predictable as I thought it was going to be and that the characters not being rich (as they are in many romances) added a unique element. I found the dialogue to be occasionally hokey, but not enough to take away from my overall enjoyment. The steam factor wasn’t to my liking, but I definitely like my romances naughtier and I won’t take a star away over a pure personal preference.
