Book 4 in the The Rogue Files

A daring deception…

Desperate to escape her vile fiancé, Lady Clara devises a bold lie—that she’s pregnant with another man’s child. With her reputation in tatters, Clara flees to Scotland to live out her days in disgrace, resigned to her fate as a spinster…until she claps eyes on the powerful and wickedly handsome Laird Hunt MacLarin.

She’s the answer to his curse…

Laird of an ancient clan, Hunt needs an heir, but he comes from a long line of men cursed to die before the birth of their firstborn. When the Duke of Autenberry approaches him with a proposition—marry my ruined sister—it seems the perfect solution. Even better, the defiant lass stirs him to his very soul.

No escaping the truth...

Except marriage cannot set them free. No matter how much Hunt desires her. No matter how much Clara burns for him. Soon she is falling for her husband, but is love enough to end the curse? Or is the tragic history of the MacLarin Clan doomed to repeat itself?

Review:

All the books in the Rogue Files are standalone, but really, it helps to have read the first books in the series to get a bit of background.

So let’s get started on this review.

I won’t lie; I think that this book was my favourite of the series so far. It was quite different from what I had read so far and I found it quite refreshing.

Clara has run to her brother’s estate in Scotland after the scandal she created with her lie; a fake pregnancy. Her reputation ruined, she has accepted her fate that she will end her life alone but she hadn’t counted on her meeting with Hunt, a man who will turn up in her life more often that she had first presume upon meeting him.

Hunt had never expected to be so intrigued by some woman. He was content with his life though he can’t deny the want of an heir but the curse stops him to pursue that dream. But upon hearing about Clara’s pregnancy, it comes to him that this was exactly what he needed; an heir without needing to go through his family’s curse.

After some convincing, Clara accepts his proposal without telling him the truth about her, but following this deception, their future is no longer certain. They are both feisty people and their arguments can be quite entertaining. Also the two of them have easily adapted themselves to their situation not knowing which of them would end up being right.

The chemistry between the two of them is hard to miss and as they navigate towards their uncertain future, both of them are giving a second chance that neither of them ever thought was in their cards.

I don’t read many historical romances beside Sophie Jordan’s so I don’t know if adding curses to this book is often done, but I think it added to the story a lot.

I’m trying to be evasive because I feel like I’m already spoiling this book, but hopefully not. So much happens between the first page and the last that you just get hooked into the book and you can hardly stop to do something else.

I’m really looking forward for the next book because I think that it’s going to be quite interesting too. I loved the character Sophie has chosen for her next book and I’m so intrigued about what story she has given her. 

I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
