Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover
The Rules of Scoundrels # 4
By: Sarah MacLean
Releasing November 25th, 2014
Avon Romance
Blurb
By day, she is Lady Georgiana, sister to a duke, ruined before her first season in the worst kind of scandal. But the truth is far more shocking-in London’s darkest corners, she is Chase, the mysterious, unknown founder of the city’s most legendary gaming hell. For years, her double identity has gone undiscovered...until now.
Brilliant, driven, handsome-as-sin Duncan West is intrigued by the beautiful, ruined woman who is somehow connected to a world of darkness and sin. He knows she is more than she seems and he vows to uncover all of Georgiana’s secrets, laying bare her past, threatening her present, and risking all she holds dear...including her heart.
My review:
5 Stars
Copy received for an honest review
Duncan and
Georgiana, as a couple, were dynamic.
They were so perfectly matched! They
perfectly complemented each other and have tremendous chemistry. As Duncan and Georgiana begin to fall in love
they encounter many different obstacles.
One, Duncan is being blackmailed and must expose Chase. Two, Lady Georgiana is caught up in the
middle and must decide where her life will go from here. Three, the future of “The
Fallen Angel” is threatened. The
characters from the previous book were so great. The story was perfectly written to include
them.
Finally, I was so worried about how the story would play out. Would I be disappointed in the last book? Answer: heck no! What would MacLean do with Chase? The Fallen Angel? Answer: Fantastic ending!(I’m trying very hard not to give anything away.) MacLean has written one of the best plots I have ever read. I actually wanted to go back and re-read the previous books to see if I could it all together. MacLean is pure genius

Excerpt #10
The question
returned her to the present. To the ballroom, to the dance, in the arms of the
Duke of Lamont, surrounded by the aristocracy. “She has no future,” Georgiana
said quietly. “I destroyed it.”
Temple
sighed.
She
continued. “I thought I could buy her entrance to wherever she liked. I told
myself that Chase could open any door into which she desired entry.”
Her words
were quiet, and the dance kept anyone from hearing the conversation. “Not
without people asking questions about why the owner of a gaming hell is so
concerned about the bastard daughter of a lady.”
Her teeth
clenched tight. She’d made so many promises in her life—promises to teach
Society a well-deserved lesson. Promises never to bow to them.
Promises
never to let them touch her daughter.
But some
vows, no matter how firm, could not be kept.
“I wield such
power, and still, not enough to save a little girl.” She paused. “If I don’t do
this, what will happen to her?”
“I’ll keep
her safe,” the duke vowed. “As will you. And the others.” An earl. A marquess.
Her business partners, each wealthy and titled and powerful. “Your brother.”
And yet …
“And when
we’re gone? What then? When we are gone, she’ll have a legacy, filled with sin
and vice. She’ll have a life of darkness.”
Caroline
deserved better. Caroline deserved everything.
“She deserves
light,” she said, to herself as much as to Temple.
And Georgiana
would give it to her.
Caroline
would want a life of her own. Children. More.
To ensure she
could have those things, Georgiana had only one choice. She must marry. The
thought brought her back to the moment, her gaze falling to the man across the
room, whom she had chosen as her future husband. “The viscount’s title will
help.”
“And the
title is all you require?”
“It is,” she
replied. “A title worthy of her. Something that will win her the life she
wants. She might never be respected, but a title secures her future.”
