And suddenly, she was his everything...
Having spent years working as an escort, Rachel Bell yearns for a chance at a different life, away from the sins of the past. That chance presents itself when a handsome young lord steps into the tavern.
Ernest Jackson, Marquess of Dalton, sees his mundane life take a dramatic turn the day he finds a mysterious box. On a mission to solve the mystery of his allegedly deceased sister, he discovers he has been lied to all of his life.
His search leads him to Rachel, who proves to be not only a skillful spy but also his sole ally...

Based on the description, I really thought I would enjoy "A Fiery Escort for the Roguish Marquess." It sounded like it might be a sort of historical "Pretty Woman" (hooker with a heart of gold meets a rich man and they fall in love), with some added intrigue thrown in to keep things interesting. Unfortunately, I ended up being very disappointed overall.
Details are incredibly important in a historical romance, and the author seems to have gotten a lot of them mixed up here. For example, hotels and hotel bars didn't exist during the Regency as she seems to have been envisioning them. There were lodging houses and coaching inns, but not hotels, as such, prior to the mid-19th century. Ernest and his friend Archie, as well as the baron, would probably have gone to a gentleman's club like Brooks or White's to play cards and drink in the evenings, not to a hotel. It would not have been particularly easy for Rachel, as a prostitute, to just waltz in and pick up a high class client like the baron. Women weren't allowed in gentleman's clubs. Given that Rachel's interaction with the baron was a relatively important part of the plot, I can see why the author wanted it to work the way she pictured it, but unfortunately, it just wasn't realistic.
Another major problem is that "escort" is too modern a term for prostitution; it was not widely used in this context until the 1920s/1930s, and was also likely American in origin, not British. I could have overlooked it if it were only used in the title of the book, but the word was used repeatedly, by many different characters in several situations, throughout the book. If the author really wanted to use a euphemism for "prostitute," she could have referred to Rachel as a "courtesan" instead, though what Rachel did was really too common for that. She was a prostitute, plain and simple. If the author didn't want to call her that, maybe she should have given her heroine a different profession (barmaid, perhaps?).
Then there is the alcohol the characters supposedly drank. There wouldn't have been any such thing as "cheap" brandy during the Regency - it was all imported from France or elsewhere in Europe, and a lot of times it had to be smuggled in due to high taxes and trade embargoes. Customers of the White Lion would have been drinking locally produced gin or ale because those were the cheap drinks of the early 19th century. And as for the baron's "fine French whisky"? It couldn't possibly have existed. There was no whisky produced in France until at least the 1980s!
Aside from the above mentioned (and other) historical inaccuracies, there were a lot of things about the plot didn't make sense. For example, Ernest says he loves and respects his father, yet seems to avoid him all the time and be afraid of him in some ways. Also, he acknowledges that his mother had a tendency to keep a lot of mementos from his childhood, so when he found the chest with Unity's things, why was it so strange to think that his mother would have kept those too? And how did he even know that the items had belonged to his sister? They easily could have been his mother's garments from her childhood. I can't accept that Ernest "just knew" his sister was alive as a jumping off point for the entire rest of the story. It's just not believable.
There is also the incredible coincidence of Rachel being best friends with the woman who turns out to be Ernest's long-lost sister. Again, it strains credulity. There are so many hints dropped about the woman's identity that you will see the "big reveal" coming from a mile away, too.
The one thing I did (somewhat) enjoy about this book was watching Ernest and Rachel fall in love. That said, I hated that Rachel continued to take clients while she was involved with Ernest. I get that she didn't want to take money from Ernest because she didn't want their relationship to be based on a transaction, but surely she could have let him help her in some other way, such as finding a more respectable job? Ernest never even offers, though, which is kind of disappointing. He does buy her 5 loaves of bread at one point, so there's that. (All Rachel ever seems to eat is bread. How she remains alive based on that diet is a mystery, but I digress.)
At any rate, given the number of historical inaccuracies and things that just don't make sense about the plot, I really can't recommend this book. I'm not sure I would read any of this author's future books either, unless I was sure that they had been better researched and edited.

That was quite the story!! I really enjoyed it but I must say the fact that the heroine continues to have "clients" even after meeting the marquess and falling in love with him, is not something I cared for at all. Apart from that, the story is filled with danger, intrigue, mystery, twists & turns, etc, and will keep your interest level high.
Rachel Bell is an escort (a nicer word than prostitute) and lives in the slums. Ernest Jackson, Marquess of Dalton, is the heir to the Dukedom and lives in the rich part of town. Ordinarily they never should have met but when Ernest discovers that his sister might be alive (he had been told that she had died in infancy), his search brings him to the slums to ask questions and that's where he meets Rachel. He ends up asking for her help and what follows is quite the adventure! They are attracted to each other but know that nothing can come of it because of their different stations in life. As they say, though, love can overcome anything!!!
I was given a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Fairly good writing. Story was sadly ridiculous. Couldn't finish.
Rachel, an escort who attends balls with titled gentlemen, owns at least 3 different gowns. At least one of them is silk.
She can afford silk, brandy, embroidered gloves, respectable bonnet and cloak, a feathered mask that she leaves discarded in an alley- but not decent lodgings outside of awful slums. That seems odd.
She dresses as a respectable lady, has a friend who's family owns a bakery and that family receives Rachel as a guest. Yet she cannot get her one desire, any respectable job, Also odd.
While the writing style was fairly good, I couldn't suspend disbelief and find enjoyment in the story. Perhaps if it had been presented as more of a fairy tale?
2.5 stars because of promising writing style. Maybe I'll revisit this author in a year, with hopes that her storylines become more plausible.

I enjoyed this book very much. It wasn't steamy as it was touted to be...there was just one love scene and it was pretty tame, but the story itself carried the book to a great ending. It was mysterious, intriguing and kept my interest.
Ernest Jackson is a marquess and is bored out of his skull with the drudgery of living up to the expectations of his father and the London nobility. He's looking for something real; something to not only entertain himself, but to remind himself that there is more to life than sitting around drinking brandy, playing whist, and laughing at jokes that he doesn't think are funny. I could feel his anguish and his dissatisfaction with life. He wanted much more than what he had and it wasn't necessarily materialistic.
He was good with a sword back in his day and went searching for it when he stumbled onto a small trunk that had clothes in it. His sister had died while she was an infant before he was born and he figured they were hers. When he looked closer, there were clothes in there that were for a little girl. That didn't make sense. If Unity had died as a baby, why were there clothes for a little girl, too? That piqued his interest and he soon had the feeling that his sister wasn't dead. That put him on a quest that led him to Rachel Bell.
Rachel was an escort. When she spotted him come into the tavern, she knew he wasn't in his element, despite his attempt to disguise himself as a miner. She took him to her room and rather than entice him to have sex with her, she helped him to look more like a miner by putting lard in his hair and smearing some black stuff on his hands. She told him she picked him out of the crowd as being a fraud because his hands and nails were clean.
As the story progressed, she wanted to help him find his sister and went to extremes to do it, including having sex with a man she found repulsive just to get information from him. There were either vague or no descriptions of her having relations with any guy other than Ernest. I don't think I missed a thing. Not knowing didn't hurt the book at all.
When she started to help him, things got tense. She knew someone was following her, although she didn't know who it was and she was eventually kidnapped.
Ernest was good to Rachel and she was good to him. It was easy to see how they fell in love. But what I didn't understand was why he didn't help her when he knew she was selling her body to pay rent and eat. He didn't offer even one time. He bought her five loaves of bread from Betsey, the local baker and friend of Rachel's, and took them to Rachel. He knew she wanted a better life for herself. Why didn't he offer her some money or maybe a position in his household? Even with all the help she gave, he still didn't offer. He made up for it in the end, but wow...here's this man of means consorting with a prostitute for reasons other than sex and he couldn't even give her some decent food? All Rachel ate was bread. It kind of grated on my nerves. She was all in with helping him, but he gave little or nothing in return. He was grateful and knew the extremes she was going to, but...I don't know. I just wish he'd done more.
Rachel was educated to a point. She knew how to read anyway, so why was she dropping the word, "ain't"? I could see it if it were a part of her character, but it was so sporadic, I'm not sure it was. I read a lot of books and when that word is used, it indicates that the person using it is illiterate. If Rachel is illiterate, she's illiterate. No problem. I just think it should have been used consistently or not at all. It sort of jacked with her character for me. There were numerous instances of bad grammar and I'm not sure it was supposed to be a part of the character. Maybe. I don't know.
Overall this was a good read. I loved the mystery with Ernest's sister. I liked Ernest and Rachel as individuals and I liked them together. It was all enough to keep me turning the pages.
The reasons I gave it four stars is because of the lack of steam when it says it's steamy (just the one lackluster love scene) and the inconsistencies of the word "ain't". I know that sounds petty, but it is what it is. I also think the title doesn't fit the book. I didn't see anything overly fiery with Rachel and Ernest wasn't a rogue at all.

WOW... what a book! It is moderately paced, well written and extremely realistic. The hero, nobleman, Lord Ernest Jackson, Marquess of Dalton. heir to the dukedom of Armson, becomes naturally curious when he accidentally comes across a small chest containing secrets. His mother's disposition was naturally melancholy but when asked about the chest she automatically grew pale and withdrew further within herself. Ernest was told he lost his older sister when she was a babe. His instinct told him there was more to the story and maybe she was still alive. When he queried his father, the Duke became cold and unattached forbidding Ernest from pursuing the subject because of his mother's delicate nature. By accident Ernest came across some letters that added another layer of mystery to an already confusing and complicated situation. He inquired of the employees that were working at the time of his sister Unity's birth and death. He was referred to a gardener who lived in the poor section of town. When Ernest asked around with no success, he stopped for an ale. There he met a working girl, Rachel Bell. For some unknown reason they became allies and worked together to find the gardener that would lead them to his sister Unity. The more they sleuthed the closer to danger it brought everyone. Such an exciting story. There are plenty of surprises, self-reflections, movement of conscience, dangerous adventure, loyal friendship and romance. The ending with shock you. An excellent read and I highly recommend it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Ernest and Rachel. The mystery woven throughout the love story between a dissatisfied highborn lord and a poor young woman forced into the life of an escort keeps the story moving. The attraction between Ernest and Rachel is immediate, although they do not act on it, becoming instead, sort-of friends. Ernest is in need of help, a friend he can trust, and Rachel is just the person he's looking for. Rachel isn't looking for anything from Ernest, except to help him, but they quickly realize that they need more from each other than they'd ever expect. When the solving of the mystery of Ernest's long-disappeared sister results in danger, the tension escalates, and they find that their feelings for each other are more important than anything else. Sweet and sassy, with intrigue and humor. I definitely recommend this read.

A Fiery Escort for the Roguish Marquess is the debut novel by Scarlett Osborne and what a novel! The books characters never failed to delight; they were likeable, engaging and, realistic with such depth and individuality it's easy to relate to them. One intriguing tale that hooks you from the start and reels you in for the duration. There is mystery, secrets, intrigue, danger, betrayal, and twist and turns, with villains thrown in. This book is the one that will keep you turning the pages until the end! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, from cover to cover. Can't wait for Scarlett's next novel!

Charming and emotionally driven love story.
Terrific storytelling and writing. I enjoyed the suspense and mystery surrounding Ernest's family dynamic and the sweet beginnings of meeting Rachel. Rachel's story in itself is very poignant. How difficult it was to survive those times when young women lost the protection of family and particularly their fathers, but I admired Rachel's sunny attitude towards her daily life as she struggles to survive and strives to better herself by securing a position as a governess or maid and help Ernest unravel the mystery that surrounds his family.

This was a new author for me and overall I found the book to be a good one. For the most part I found the plot line to be original and a excellent one, my one fault I would find with the book would be Rachel still using her body to find out answers for Ernest. I am glad that it ended with a HEA. I would recommend it to those that enjoy Historical Regency Romances although this was is more on the steamy side.

This is the story of Ernest and Rachel, with other important characters, also. I really enjoyed this story a lot. To unravel secrets is very tricky and dangerous. That's what made it a mystery. It was very intense at times. I loved the spicy and steamy scenes. The author brings all the pieces together very nicely, so it is easy to understand. To love and be loved is the biggest compliment one could have. I'm looking forward to another book from this author. I so recommend this book.
