SPOTLIGHT: THE LEAGUE OF ROGUES BY LAUREN SMITH






Wicked Designs (The League of Rogues, #1)


READ AND REVIEW


WICKED DESIGNS (THE LEAGUE OF ROGUES) BY LAUREN SMITH


SYNOPSIS

The League of Rogues takes what they want—but have they taken on too much?

For too long Miss Emily Parr has been subject to the whims of her indebted uncle and the lecherous advances of his repulsive business partner. Her plan to be done with dominating men forever is simple—find herself a kind husband who will leave her to her books.

It seems an easy enough plan, until she is unexpectedly abducted by an incorrigible duke who hides a wounded spirit behind flashing green eyes.

Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, spends countless nights at the club with his four best friends, and relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with. He has no plans to marry anytime soon—if ever. But when he kidnaps an embezzler’s niece, the difficult debutante’s blend of sweetness and sharp tongue make him desperate for the one thing he swears he never wanted: love.

Yet as they surrender to passion, danger lurks in Godric’s shadowed past, waiting for him to drop his guard—and rob him of the woman he can’t live without.

Warning: This novel includes a lady who refuses to stay kidnapped, a devilish duke with a dark past, and an assortment of charming rogues who have no idea what they’ve gotten themselves into.

REVIEW:  WICKED DESIGNS (THE LEAGUE OF ROGUES) BY LAUREN SMITH

Wicked Designs (The League of Rogues, #1)Wicked Designs by Lauren Smith

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Hidden agendas abound in Wicked Designs, the introductory novel to Lauren Smith's League of Rogues series. Emily needs a husband. Not just anybody will do. Having been controlled most of her life by overpowering men, she wants to escape the cycle and find a less stifling existence. Her plans change however when she becomes an unwitting pawn in a plot for revenge. Her introduction to Godric sends her head spinning, her hear racing and her life into utter upheaval. Godric is man of many secrets with a heart full of darkness and pain. Will these two people be able to withstand the dark shadows headed their way? Wicked Designs ended up pushing all my buttons. It was a romance with deep meaning. Add in the sinfully sexy hero and I was drawn into the mystery that was Wicked Designs.

His Wicked Seduction (The League of Rogues, #2)


HIS WICKED SEDUCTION (THE LEAGUE OF ROGUES) BY LAUREN SMITH


SYNOPSIS

Can the League’s most wicked rakehell be tamed? Or has this Rogue fallen too far?

The League of Rogues, Book 2


Horatia Sheridan has been hopelessly in love with Lucien, her brother’s best friend, ever since he rescued her from the broken remains of her parents’ wrecked carriage. His reputation as London’s most notorious rakehell doesn’t frighten her, for under his veneer of cool authority she has glimpsed a man whose wicked desires inspire her own.

Lucien, Marquess of Rochester, has deliberately nurtured a reputation for debauchery that makes every matchmaking mother of the ton quake with fear. His one secret: he is torn between soul-ripping lust for Horatia, and the loyalty he owes her brother.

That loyalty is put to the test when an old enemy of the League threatens Horatia’s life. With Christmas drawing near, he sweeps her away to his country estate, where he can’t resist granting her one wish—to share his bed and his heart.

But sinister forces are lurking, awaiting the perfect moment to exact their revenge by destroying not only whatever happiness Lucien might find in Horatia’s arms, but the lives of those they love.

Warning: This book contains an intelligent lady who is determined to seduce her brother’s friend, a brooding rake whose toy of choice in bed is a little bit of bondage with a piece of red silk, a loyal band of merry rogues and a Christmas love so scorching you’ll need fresh snow to extinguish it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Those rogues are sex on a stick. Move over Jess Michaels, Lauren Smith may proved to be stiff competition. Tempting secrets, sexy liasions and intriguing suspense make His Wicked Seduction a forced to be reckoned with. Lucien and Horatia are sin in action. Add a secret love, dark forces looming and the story comes alive. His Wicked Seduction is a sensual journey into the world of guilty pleasures.
