    About this audiobook

    Joanna Lennox is a fine bred English lady.

    She's pretty, intelligent, witty and . . . on the shelf. With an influential baron as her brother and a hefty dowry, she should have gentleman lining up at her door but instead she seems doomed to become a spinster. Then one night a handsome highland lord steals a kiss from her in a library which stirs her deepest desires. Desperate for a life and a love of her own, she turns to the darkly handsome, brooding, Scottish lord who lights a fire within her with his touch. But will his secrets and enemies tear them apart?

    Brock Kincade knows better than to go around kissing English ladies in dark libraries.

    Especially when a lady is the little sister of the man who will shortly be his brother-in-law. But Joanna is pure temptation, and he's been denied that innocent affection for far too long. He doesn't believe in love, but he believes in lust, and after that single kiss, he knows he wants her as his wife. He might not love her, but he'll care for her and fuel the passionate fire between them with pleasure. There's just one problem: He'll have to steal her away from her overprotective brother and his devilish band of friends, the League of Rogues.

    It's a race to Greta Green for a hasty anvil marriage that will change their lives forever . . .

    Contains mature themes.

      Loved it like I did all the previous ones. Love anything to do with Scots.
      The narrator was ok. But at times she sounded like a robot.
      Now on to the next one of the series, Never Tempt a Scot. I am listening to them according to the dates of the stories not as they are listed on this website, as I like to listen in Chronological order. Although now ive already listened to some of the others according to how they're listed but they're all wrong, because the other serieses intertwine with each other.

      I have fallen completely in love with this series. Heather does an amazing job narrating and she totally nailed this one. i love A good scottish romance.

      Joanna Lennox younger sister of Ashton is pretty, intelligent, witty and surprisingly on the shelf especially with a hefty dowry, she should have gentleman lining up at her door but instead she seems doomed to become a spinster. Then one night whilst reading in the library a handsome highland lord steals a kiss from her, which stirs her deepest desires. Brock Kincade knows better than to go around kissing English ladies in dark libraries, especially when a lady is the little sister of Ashton the man who will shortly be his brother-in-law. After that single kiss, which he can’t forget he knows he wants her as his wife. The pair steal away & flee to Gretna Green but Ashton & the League of Rogues are in pursuit.
      Another page turning, captivating read that had me reading well into the night to finish. This book could be read on its own but I’d recommend reading the whole of this brilliant series & to be picky I’d read this after reading Ashton & Rosalind’s story. As ever the author brings the characters alive, I loved both Brock & Joanna, he has his insecurities but with Joanna’s love & help finally realises he's not his father. Joanna is strong & feisty & I loved the encounter after their shopping expedition. The story flows extremely well & I was drawn in from the start & gripped until the end.
      My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
    • 4/5
      Another great addition to the League of Rogues series. This one features the fabulous Brock Kincade whom we met in Ashton Lennox’s book, Wicked Rivals. Our heroine is Ashton’s sister Joanna and our hero is the brother of Ashton’s heroine, Rosalind. So – it is a family affair! It is a wonderful read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love that all of Rosalind’s brash, handsome, irrepressible brothers will get their own books – and I hope Ashton’s brothers will as well.At twenty-years-old, Joanna Lennox has endured three seasons without anyone showing any interest whatsoever. The men don’t even seem interested in dancing with her much less courting her. What in the world is wrong with her? She just doesn’t understand it. She isn’t ugly, she has a large dowry, she’s intelligent and has all of the skills required for running a large home – so, why isn’t anyone – even a fortune hunter – interested in her?I loved the opening scene in the book. Joanna is in the library late in the evening when she sees a tall man, dressed in dark clothes, entering the room. She doesn’t recognize him, but he says he is Rosalind’s brother – then, he kisses her senseless and ties her up. He’s there to ‘rescue’ his sister from the evil clutches of Ashton.To say that there is no love lost between Brock and Ashton is putting it mildly. However, Ashton has to suck it up and tolerate Brock – at least until the wedding is over – because Brock is walking Rosalind down the aisle. However, when Ashton catches Brock alone in a room with Joanna, kissing her, with his hand up her skirt, Ashton goes berserk and orders him from the house. What Ashton doesn’t know is that Brock is determined to marry Joanna – not for her money (though that is a plus), but because he wants her - the real her.Given Ashton’s animosity toward Brock, he and Joanna decide to go to Gretna Green to marry over the anvil. They have to be crafty in order to escape without Ashton and the League managing to overtake them. On that trip, Joanna discovers strengths and bravery she never knew she possessed. They slept outdoors and were even kidnapped by highwaymen, yet she never complained and moved forward. Even when her brother caught up with them, she stood up to him and faced him down. Joanna turns out to be quite a heroine.Brock Kincade, along with his brothers and sister grew up in one of the most abusive homes I’ve ever read in a story. His father was extremely abusive and violent. Brock is so afraid that he’s like his father that he won’t allow himself to be violent in any way – even when he’s attacked, he only does the minimum to protect himself. Brock’s father did some despicable things and betrayed some of the Highland clans. Those clans haven’t forgotten what happened and some have transferred that animosity to Brock. Who are the hidden enemies at the castle? Are they after Brock or Joanna – or both?You really need to read this delightful series – including this book. The characters are wonderful – you’ll fall in love with all of them as you read the books. Joanna and Brock are both wonderful characters and I can’t wait to see their siblings get their own books.BTW – I read the Whispersync version of this book so I listened to the audio as well as reading. The narrator, Heather Wilds, has a wonderful range of ‘voices’ and I thoroughly enjoyed listening. Her Scots brogue was wonderful to hear – especially the Gaelic ballads – I loved those.
