Twice Tempted By A Rogue

Title: Twice Tempted By A Rogue
Author: Tessa Dare
Series: Stud Club (Book 2)
Genre: Historical Romance



Rhys St. Maur is one of the members of the Stud Club. He seems to have all the luck in the world, which he isn't too happy about. For most of his life Rhys has had a death wish. He has fought in countless battles and tried unsuccessfully to get himself killed. It just doesn't work. He's a pretty broken man due to a past that haunts him. He decides to do something about it and ends up in his "hometown" where he is the Lord. There he meets Meredith.

Meredith has always had a thing for Rhys. When she was younger she would secretly follow him around and doodled her name with his. Now she is a grown woman who has had no easy life. She is surprised when Rhys comes back to town and even more surprised when out of the blue he asks her to marry him.

There is something about Meredith that Rhys just can't get out of his mind. He wants to make her happy and make things up to her that he thinks he owes her. He is big into fate and keeps telling her they're meant to be together so stop fighting it. Meredith wants to hear not how he's going to marry her because it's fate, but because he love and wants her. So she continually denies it.

Another fantastic book from Tessa Dare. There was something about the two of these characters that fit just right. Meredith was such a well rounded woman who had to look out for herself and the others that depend on her. Rhys is one of those characters who your heart just goes out to because in some ways he is self conscious of himself and there are a few misunderstandings that wrench the heartstrings.

I eagerly await book 3, the final book. Three Nights With A Scoundrel, although I am a little worried because its main character is Julian Bellamy, who I don't particularly enjoy as a character.
