I enjoyed the previous book in Charis Michaels’ Bachelor Lords of London series (The Virgin and the Viscount) and was impressed with the author’s ability to craft a strong story and create sympathetic characters. I was less impressed with the fact that the story went off the rails in the last twenty percent with a completely unnecessary – and inaccurate – twist which was there only to set up the next book. I wasn’t able to discuss that in my review, as it came late in the book and was thus ...more

Beauregard Courtland is now the Viscount Rainsleigh; he is not amused. He's slightly more amused when Lady Emmaline Crumbley, Dowager Duchess of Ticking, arrives at his houseboat and announces she's going to teach him some manners. And that amusement turns into boners which turns into marriage which turns into emotional maturity OH SNAP.

1. This is the first of Michaels's novels that I have read and I'm intrigued. I suspect this is an author who likes to Handle Things in her novels; in One for t Beauregard Courtland is now the Viscount Rainsleigh; he is not amused. He's slightly more amused when Lady Emmaline Crumbley, Dowager Duchess of Ticking, arrives at his houseboat and announces she's going to teach him some manners. And that amusement turns into boners which turns into marriage which turns into emotional maturity OH SNAP.

1. This is the first of Michaels's novels that I have read and I'm intrigued. I suspect this is an author who likes to Handle Things in her novels; in One for the Rogue, for example, she includes a character who would likely be included on the autism spectrum today, and her hero also has to truly wrestle with his own internal fears and perfectionism in order to protect his new family.

And there's weight to both of these things in the text, but ultimately does not over-set the balance of the romance universe we're all living in. I.e., bad things do exist in the world and good things exist in the world. But the good things take work, and the bad things can be overcome. It leaves the world feeling more real than fantastical. I appreciate it, and the effort it takes.

2. I do want to clarify that I am speaking from a place of deep ignorance regarding the handling of Teddy's character and situation. I do want to warn for some of the language used, and also the (view spoiler).

3. I really loved Emma as a heroine; she is learning to define her own place in the world and ask for the things she wants. I liked how she would acknowledge the things she didn't know and seek clarification and honesty from Beau, especially when he throws a mantrum over her inexperience.

4. Beau was very much stuck in his own head, but he works to sort himself out (for the most part) and I appreciated that very much. Too often the hero/ines of romances are burdened with very real human flaws that are then magically hand-waved away in the third act in order to bring resolution to the non-boner bits. And while Beau does get over himself, there's enough self-examination in the text to make his transformation feel slightly more earned.

He's still kind of a wet blanket of a hero, tho.

5. Lady Frinfrock's lecture about aptitude was fucking vicious though, holy shit. I was in that photo and I did not like it.

6. Overall: a sturdy little romance with some interest nuance to it. ...more

Even though One for the Rogue is the third book in the series and the first I read by the author, it can easily be read as a standalone.

The first half was great with Beau trying to figure how to get away and run from his issues, Emma going after him, and of course, the slow burning romance. But after 50% I found myself skimming pages, as some of the dialogue was repetitive, but I was still invested. By last 20% of the book I lost interest, mainly toward the hero, and I kept thinking that th ...more

As the younger son of a noble, Beauregard “Beau” Cortland was pretty much free to do what he wanted, then he’s suddenly named the Viscount Rainsleigh and has all the responsibilities that go with the title. Still, Beau refuses to take on the role until he meets Lady Emmaline Crumbley, his new tutor in all things respectable. Sort of. Emmaline is in a difficult position after her elderly husband drops dead without providing for her. At 23 she’s desperate to avoid her greedy stepson and Beau’s family has provided the perfect solution: If she instructs the new viscount on how to behave in proper society, they’ll help her become self sufficient. It’s the perfect plan until Emmaline and Beau start to fall for one another.

I could feel poor Beau’s pain, he was happy living his life according to his rules and then BOOM! He finds himself in charge of a lot of things and having to become familiar with a term he is adamantly against: Responsibility. Poor guy. He could be a charming devil too, especially with the ladies but he was also irresponsible and threw what I call a “Mantrum” when he found out he was now the viscount with everything that goes with it. I enjoyed his journey from reluctant noble in the beginning to someone worth falling for.

Emmaline was the definition of a tenacious woman. It wasn’t easy for her to try and instruct a grown man, especially one like Beau but she did her best, even when she was falling for him. I liked her stubborn nature because it was easily balanced out by her caring side. I never felt like she was a damsel in distress even when she needed Beau to help her with some of her troubles. Charis Michaels managed to portray Emmaline as strong, vulnerable, loving, and fun without making her seem like a superhuman. I enjoyed Emmaline as a character and thought she balanced out Beau’s rough edges quite nicely.

The romance in One for the Rogue took some time to develop and I felt the pacing of it fit what was happening in the plot. Obviously it was a big deal to get Beau ready to be part of society so sometimes the romance had to wait a bit. Then there were Emmaline’s conflicts that needed to be dealt with but both circumstances served to put Beau and Emmaline in constant contact and allowed their affection to grow at what I thought was a good speed. There was a definite physical chemistry but it didn’t dominate the emotional side of the relationship which was nice for a change.

Final Verdict: I don’t know where I’ve been that I missed the previous two books in the series but I really enjoyed One for the Rogue. It was charming, romantic, and fun. ...more

Opening with a prologue that will set the stage for events to come (and a problem that needs noting) we are introduced briefly to the hero of the story, Beau, and given some history and background.

Lady Emmaline, after being married to a man old enough to be her grandfather is now a widow, left without mention in her late husband’s will. Relegated to dowager without income, she must find a way to support herself without overtaxing monies left to her from her parents. Additionally, the man who in Opening with a prologue that will set the stage for events to come (and a problem that needs noting) we are introduced briefly to the hero of the story, Beau, and given some history and background.

Lady Emmaline, after being married to a man old enough to be her grandfather is now a widow, left without mention in her late husband’s will. Relegated to dowager without income, she must find a way to support herself without overtaxing monies left to her from her parents. Additionally, the man who inherited the title held by Emma’s husband is eyeing her brother’s fortune and pushing for her to move her family in with him.

Bryson, the former Viscount Rainsleigh (more details later) has mentioned to Emma that his younger brother Beau, newly titled Viscount, is in need of some ‘gentling and instruction in the ways of the Tonne”. Emma, believing that Bryson’s connections and fortune may help her (and her remaining family) with funds to relocate to New York. So, Emma, being of a practical nature and clever, accepts the offer and sets out to just get on with things. She’s engaging and solidly written, completely undeterred by the great amounts of resistance that Beau throws her way.

Beau is the younger brother, uninterested in titles and completely unwilling to step into his brother’s shoes and assume control of title and lands. He’s had a bad experience with his time in society with a situation that ended badly, and he has convinced himself that his future is in mindless pursuits, away from society, responsibility and entanglements with women. Beau was far harder to appreciate, his steadfast refusal to grow up or grow a pair, get past what happened and move to learn how to be the Viscount and manage things properly were frustrating. He wasn’t sympathetic, he was weak-willed and often childish, and I applaud Emma’s patience in dealing with him. She had no children from her marriage, but inherited a man-boy with this job. Which, unfortunately kept the romance at the lukewarm level for me, hard to buy into a hero that didn’t hit any discernible mark of hero. An interesting, if not entirely engaging end to the series.

Now for the issues: Bryson stepping away from the title of Viscount to pass it to his younger brother (ok – half-brother), and the new Duke of Ticking’s machinations to obtain Emma’s family lands and fortunes. Sadly, even in fiction an author must either adhere to actual fact, or diverge so greatly from them that facts are irrelevant. Setting a story in Regency England means that facts and laws (even if one plays with social interactions) exist, and these two elements not only contravene laws of the time, but are not even remotely close. Abdication of a title in that period required an act of Parliament, even as much as Bryson’s honor called for it, he was born in wedlock, and as such, the legal heir. Ticking’s machinations also would have required legal intervention for his takeover, as Teddy (Emma’s brother) was the legal and rightful heir. This misstep is one of those strange moments for a reader- it may have made for intriguing plot arcs for the author, but the lack of ‘correctness’ was problematic for me, signifying a lack of research.

4.5/5 on PolishedBookworm.com

Never thought I’d find a decrepit houseboat in the middle of Regency-era London to be the perfect setting for one of the most charming “meet-cute” scenes I have read. From the moment a (finally!) conscious Beau Cortland, the reluctant new Viscount Rainsleigh, meets the petite force of nature known as the Dowager Duchess of Ticking, the banter zings, tempers clash and the sexual tension is practically palpable.

Never thought I’d find a decrepit houseboat in the middle of Regency-era London to be the perfect setting for one of the most charming “meet-cute” scenes I have read. From the moment a (finally!) conscious Beau Cortland, the reluctant new Viscount Rainsleigh, meets the petite force of nature known as the Dowager Duchess of Ticking, the banter zings, tempers clash and the sexual tension is practically palpable.

At the ripe old age of 23, Emmaline Crumbley is widowed and prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure her developmentally challenged brother is properly cared for and her own futures is secure, and most importantly of all, of her own making. Having never tasted independence, Emma is ready to plot her escape from her overbearing stepson (who is twice her age) and plan her financial freedom.

The daughter of a wealthy publisher who was married off to an insolvent duke in exchange for a title, the last thing Emma wants is to fall under the thumb of another man; the last thing Beau Cortland wants is to be a titled Lord. Beau assumed the viscountcy following the abdication of his perfectly suited brother Bryson – whose tale is told in the delightful book 2 of the series, The Virgin and the Viscount. Beau eschews all trappings of English society, happily drinking, fishing, and raiding brothels to rescue unwilling victims. In a tacit arrangement with Bryson, Emma agrees to school Beau in the finer points of polite behavior. You can only imagine how Beau reacts to this plan. (Hint: not well)

However, once Beau understands Emma’s motives he softens to her cause (as he hardens for Emma [*awkward sexy times pun alert* — sorry, not sorry]. Beau may distain the aristocracy, but he nonetheless knows how to charm and perform when necessary. The question is whether he’s willing and able to be the man, the titled Lord, that Emma needs him to be. Is Beau able to be the champion Emma deserves as she strives to become the woman she was always meant to be? Can Emma trust Beau with her heart, her brother, and her destiny?

Since this is the brilliant Charis Michaels, the answers are found in a beautiful, engaging, and utterly romantic conclusion. Beau and Emma are a delight from the first! Revisiting old friends from the series is a joy, from Miss Breedlowe and Lady Frinfrock to Bryson and Elizabeth, all were fleshed out and essential to the plot. Reading the earlier two books in the series is not essential, although it certainly adds to the appreciation of One for the Rogue (and they are GREAT!).

Treat yourself this holiday season and let Charis Michaels’ Bachelor Lords of London help you believe in romance and the joy of true love. ...more

After being swept away in a minor tsunami of feels in the second book of Charis Michaels’s Bachelor Lords of London series, The Virgin and the Viscount, I’ll admit I was very curious about what book three, One for the Rogue, would offer its readers. The book centers around Beau Cortland, brother to book two’s Bryse, and someone who’d strode his way through the second book with a wink and a smile and a level of charm that should require him to wear warning signs on his person.

The Beau of this book still possesses that rakish charm, but also has a heap of resentment and general grumpiness to go with it, as he finds himself saddled with a title he never wanted: he’s the new Viscount Rainsleigh, thanks to his brother’s abdication of the title and its responsibilities. And he’s not at all happy about it. Nothing would draw him into polite society or make him want to learn the manners and mannerisms expected of a lord of his standing. Until, that is, Emmaline hunts him down and demands he let her tutor him on etiquette.

Emmaline, for her part, is desperate to find a way to support herself and her brother, who requires constant care and watching, and the only way she can see to get out from under the tyranny of her stepson is to make a deal with the viscount’s family in order to further her business interests in America. She’s not about to let his bad temper or his roguish appeal get in the way of fulfilling her goals and seeing to the needs of her family.

Although both characters’ personalities (including both their flaws and virtues) and their motivations were made clear over the course of this novel, I found that I had some trouble connecting with them. Unlike the previous novel, which I found refreshing in its characters and plot devices, these characters seemed fairly run-of-the-mill as far as Regency romances go. Which is not to say that they weren’t properly developed or intriguing while I was reading the book—because they were, even though I would have liked a little more agency in Emmaline’s character. It’s more that, perhaps because I’ve read so many Regency romances in this year alone, not to mention all my other previous reads, I was rather hoping for the bit of trope rebellion I found in the previous book in this series.

Nevertheless, this was an engaging read, with characters it was easy to feel affection and respect for. The supporting characters will be familiar to anyone who has read the previous novels, but this book will stand on its own for anyone to whom this is the first introduction to the Bachelor Lords of London. It’s a solid choice if you’re a fan of the genre, and it comes with a guaranteed HEA, and although the circumstances of that HEA might be a bit unusual for most Regency readers, it’s certain to satisfy. ...more

Book three. The story of Beau … finally! How I looked forward to this one… after the first two that I enjoyed immensely. And it was just as interesting and just as ‘readable’ as the other two.

What I like about the three books was that all three heroines were beautifully ‘constructed’ and moulded into very strong characters that one way or the other helped the heroes come to terms with fears and difficulties. They stood tall, had enough spirit and gumption, and loved their men completely. No half Book three. The story of Beau … finally! How I looked forward to this one… after the first two that I enjoyed immensely. And it was just as interesting and just as ‘readable’ as the other two.

What I like about the three books was that all three heroines were beautifully ‘constructed’ and moulded into very strong characters that one way or the other helped the heroes come to terms with fears and difficulties. They stood tall, had enough spirit and gumption, and loved their men completely. No half measures there. It is stories like these that make you believe in ‘unconditional’ love after all.

So Beau, as we read in the earlier books, is adamant not to accept his title and anything and everything that goes with it. Bryson, as we also read earlier,is his exact opposite and wants him to accept the Viscountcy with all its trappings and ‘restrictions’. To this muddle we put in Emmaline the ‘poor’ orphaned widow steeped in suffering … only the way she deals with all the atrocities life deals out to her is anything but tragic. She is ready to take it all on and ‘work’ her way through … from learning to fish to fighting a case at the House of Lords. She does not cower in front of any adversity that she faces, unlike Beau who has his fair share of ‘issues’ which will have you wanting to spank him… and no, not in the naughty way! Ok that too, as he is quite irresistibly handsome (all blonde and blue eyed!) and charming and all of that.

Sadly there is not much of the cameo characters of Henrietta Place that were there in the previous books. I would have liked to read more about Trevor and Piety and the rest of the them. But that is not to say they are not there at all. Lady Finfrock, comes through once again as the saviour of the lovers and you end the book, a little sad that there will be no more visiting our beloved square in Mayfair anymore.

Aha! But take heart. I came across this on Charis Michaels page and did a little jig of joy myself. The two boys we met in this trilogy are now all grown up and have their own stories … *swoon*

While the Chairs Michaels book I admire most is The Virgin and the Viscount, this one also touches on some interesting themes. I didn't expect the obligingly dashing hero to let the heroine down in such a big way, or for the heroine to face her disappointment with a rare depth. I found it to be a mature and tender take on a specific kind of heartbreak that women often experience but rarely get to process through literature. Bravo!

This tale is traditional enough for a happy ending but has enough elements to entertain as well. Emma is a strong character in a difficult situation and her lack of legal status and power is historically accurate and well written. Beau is more complex but the circumstances that led him there are unveiled bit by bit which helps with the progression. There is also a challenged brother adding to the complexity a good read
