Book Two in the London League series
My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing
A disgruntled operative…
Gabriel Statler, Lord Wharton, has a problem. His duties as an operative for the Crown are being compromised for the sake of his cover, where he is known only as the Rogue. His days are now filled with trivial investigations, and none of the problems are ones he wants to solve. Then he meets a mysterious young woman who holds more secrets than he likes, and, against his better judgment, he takes her case.
A determined client...
Amelia Berger needs the Rogue, and she needs everything he can offer without revealing everything she knows. Her secrets are her own, and she has far too many to risk revealing even one. But when working with Rogue turns into something entirely unexpected, she finds that the secrets she began with are not the ones she most needs to protect.
My Review
I loved the clash of personalities between Amelia and Gabe. They each have a plethora of secrets, and it was fun seeing them grow closer together despite their lack of trust in certain areas. Although they aren't attracted to each other at first, they have great chemistry and are somewhat taken by surprise by their passionate feelings for each other. The mysteries they are working to solve keep the pace of the book hopping, and I loved how each layer unfolded with some surprises along the way. The dynamics of the various members of the London League are fascinating and I can't wait for more books in this series!

Synopsis
A woman of great fortune…
Margaret Easton needs a husband, and she needs one now. Her
parents are convinced that only a European will do, but Margaret wants
nothing more than to stay in England. The trouble is that there is only
one man Margaret can think of, or rather, one she cannot forget, and he
wouldn’t do as a husband at all. Then she finds herself in his care
unexpectedly, and her hunt becomes even more complicated than she could
have ever imagined.
A man of great mystery…
Rafe Thornton has never said more than ten words to Margaret
Easton, but she is rapidly becoming the sole occupant of his thoughts.
She is distracting him from his operative work as the Gent, and keeps
him from his usual focused nature, which he doesn’t mind at all. When
she stumbles into his world, his work and his emotions collide, forcing
him to choose between saving the Crown, and protecting his love.
