Gideon Harrow has spent his life in London’s dark underworld, and he wants out. A thief and a con, he plans one last heist to finally win his freedom. But when everything goes wrong, he finds himself at the tender mercies of one of society’s most untouchable women – Lady Susanna Derring. Susanna has spent her life in London’s glittering ton under the thumb of a domineering mother, and she wants out. When a wickedly charming rogue lands at her feet, she jumps at the chance to experience life before it’s too late. But as she descends into London’s underworld, she finds that nothing – not even Gideon – is as it seems. As excitement turns to danger, Susanna must decide what price she’s willing to pay for the love of a reformed thief.

Rating: B for narration; B for content

The Rogue You Know is the second book in Shana Galen’s Covent Garden Cubs series, and, like its predecessor, Earls Just Want to Have Fun, is an enjoyable, fast-paced and often humourous story featuring an improbable but well-written cross-class romance between a pair of engaging and attractive protagonists.

Lady Susanna Derring is twenty years old, but her mother, the Dowager Countess of Dane, refuses to cut the apron strings, keeping such a strict eye on her daughter that Susanna is feeling increasingly suffocated. It’s only when, at a gathering of ladies of her mother’s acquaintance, Susanna manages to break free for a few moments and is engaged in conversation by one of the other guests, that she begins to suspect that perhaps there may be more to the countess’ over-protectiveness than meets the eye. The woman hints that Susanna’s mother may not always have been the uptight model of propriety she is now, and her passing reference to Vauxhall Gardens makes Susanna determined to go there to see if she can find out anything about her mother’s past.

    1. I liked the previous book a little more, but there is much to enjoy here I’d you can suspend your disbelief a bit.
