"My rating is based on reading this six years ago as part of the series and it was a good contribution to the rogues with an interesting plot and plenty of action. Rereading today I skimmed some and mostly remember the coach scene. Miles becomes guardian to heiress Felicity who has a mind of her own."

— Frances, 8/22/2013" Ever notice there are more cads and gold digger than honest hard working people? Why is that? Felicity was a bit naive. This book was a quick read and a bit forgettable for me. "
— ♆, 8/17/2013" It took a while to get into the story of Miles and Felicity, and I'm not sure why other than Felicity just got on my nerves. I like Miles, and I thought he went through a lot to help Felicity even when she was being a twit. "
