Search - The Rogue (Liar's Club, Book 5)

Ethan Damont is a professional gambler, and two different organizations would like him to be a spy in Regency England. He's got a kitten, an omnicient butler he refers to as Jeeves, and a deep love for Lady Jane Pennington. Jane has an evil uncle, a lot of courage, and a deep love for Ethan Damont. He believes that she's too good for him, and sets out to make the world a better place for her regardless. She's decided that he's what she wants, and has got a few surprises up her own sleeve.

Loved this book, which I picked up from the library on a whim. Lots of fun with some twists and turns and suspense and enjoyable characters. Will definitely be checking out more books from this author.

It is a lovely story that continues the series. There is a series of events that make sense, though may seem a bit much, yet it fits the characters. Can't wait to continue the read.

From the back cover...

Ethan Damont's legendary gambling skills have earned him a place at the gaming tables of London's most exclusive homes. He has used his dubious place in society to aid the Liar's Club. But his latest favor to the group has not only put hie life in danger-it has thrown him together with the woman who tempts him to forgo his rakish ways. Lady Jane Pennington is a proper young lady and the ravishing niece of a suspected traitor. Now it's Ethan's job to discover if the woman he finds irresistible is naive to her uncle's deceit-or guilty of treason against the Crown...

Jane can barely wait for the Season to end-until she meets Ethan Damont. After a humiliating first encounter, Jane expects a scoundrel like Ethan to joke at her expense. Instead he behaves like a perfect gentleman. But just as Jane finds herself overcome by her desire for Ethan, he takes her captive. Suddenly, she is pulled into a dangerous world where it's impossible to know who is friend-and how is foe. Will this rogue prove to be her undoing...or the love she has always longed for?

This book is set in England during one of the Napoleonic wars. Most of the characters are involved in spying in one way or another, which I think makes it exciting. Spies on both sides try to enlist Ethen Damont, the main character. He's not sure which way to go until his relationship with Jane Pennington helps him decide.
