He was supposed to marry her best friend, but he couldn’t say no to her.

No one has ever refused a request from Lady Belle Dryden. Her pretty face and winsome nature almost guarantee it, and the fact that she’s the youngest daughter of the Duke of Wey doesn’t hurt. So she’s certain when she plays matchmaker between her dearest friend, Miss Petunia Bateman, and the charming, mysterious Owen Canady, both will be only too happy to fall in love. After all, Belle feels herself falling for Owen already. A shame a duke’s daughter must marry someone more impressive.

Owen Canady is a gentleman by birth, a pauper by circumstance, and a con man by necessity. Life has taught him he can rely only on his wits and a fast horse to get by. But when he is blackmailed into ferreting out the secrets of the Duke of Wey at a house party at the duke’s lavish estate, he finds his resolve crumbling. Belle is everything that is right and good in the world. He cannot betray her.

As her father’s enemies grow more daring, Belle and Owen must work together to protect all they hold dear. When his own secrets are revealed, can Owen convince the lady who’s never heard no to say yes to him?

Hott Review of Never Romance a Rogue:

Never Court a Count is a peaceful romantic mystery that’s sure to satisfy.

Wow!! I loved Never Romance a Rogue. I do know that there have been very few of Regina Scott’s books that I haven’t absolutely loved… that’s probably why I keep reading them 😉 but each one is not only a lovely story of great characters but it’s also a lesson and a chance to grow myself.

I truly love Belle and Owen’s story. It was a true romance, very sweet and uplifting while still having strife and reality but more than that I loved these characters! I loved how she brought people from all of her books and past series together and mentioned them. It’s great because it is done in such a way but if you haven’t read past books you don’t really notice, but if you have it highlights it and reminds you’ve fallen in love with in the past.

It hit me as I was reading this exactly how difficult it just have been for the men in this series. None of the three have a home. Their families leave much to be desired. At every turn they’re needing to fight to prove themselves. The grit and determination each of them shows is outstanding. Yet. They each still love. They show love and they feel it. Yes, at times it may only be their horse who feels it but it’s proof they’ve not shut it down.

Never Romance a Rogue is so profound and gives us a better understanding of those who’ve been hurt and have no one to trust yet still persevere while hoping things will change.

I guess I just have to say.. I can’t wait until the next one!
