"Clarissa Greystone is the Devil's Heiress from a previous Rogues story. She meets up with one of the three Georges (Hawk) who is trying to determine her role in a Lord Deveril's death. I liked how she weaved the Georges' story with the Rogues. "

— Mary, 5/1/2013" I will admit that the reason I liked this one was because I got to read a bit about Lucien and Beth H/h from a previous book in the series , the unwilling bride. "

— Lisa, 11/21/2012" I enjoy Jo Beverly and thought this was a fun, fast read. It provided a different take on "marrying for money" and there were many subplots to keep the action moving. This had a nice, fulfilling ending. "
— Sherry, 10/9/2012" #3 of 3 book series. Pretty good. "
— Mitzi, 8/12/2012" Thoroughly enjoyed Clarissa'story--she got her happy ending after her misery earlier in the Company of Rogues series. "
— Anna, 10/2/2011" The rogues are always dashing heroes but the story itself is pretty same old, same old, regency stuff. This book is one of the 3 in the "3 heroes" anthology and it is the best of the 3. It's an ok read but not a keeper although the characters are very explicit and involved and likeable.. "
