This book is a great read about a brave-clever and self sufficient woman and her equal male business rival. An Enemies to Lovers novel. It was is one of my favorites.
Glad you enjoyed, Maureen. I tried the kindle sample but sadly didn't get hooked, so I think I will give this BOTM a miss.
I read books 1,2, & 3, but I stopped on this one years ago, so I'm looking forward to renewing the series.
I only have access to the audio book through Hoopla. Not sure if I'll make it. The last audio book took me six months to finish.
I had a drive today, so I decided to go ahead and download. I listened to the first hour and 11 minutes. I REALLY don't like Lennox. It's gonna take a lot to redeem him.
I just started this book. Better late than never!
Mariana, Ash was a favorite of mine in the other books, but in this book, he is a total dbag! I hope you're not too far along and his character improves soon
I haven't read any of the other books in the series, so this was my introduction to his character. I am not far into it, so he does have time to change.
I just finished. This was an enjoyable addition to the series! It had been on my TBR for a while, and I'm glad to have finally read this story. Mariana, it didn't take long for the seductive Ash to appear, and the romance improved
I've made some progress. Not much more could go wrong for Rosalind. Seductive Ash has not yet appeared, but he is going to have to bring a lot more than that to make up for all the hateful things he has done. He seems to be a true villain, just as Rosalind thinks of him.
Lennox felt a little guilt and thought of himself as a villain in his mind. This seems to be the first step in the right direction.
I think he makes up for it. I'll be curious if you agree

Synopsis:
A LORD WITH LEGENDARY CONTROL…
Merciless and powerful, Ashton Lennox is a wealthy man because he puts business before everything else, especially love. As a member of the infamous League of Rogues, he’s no stranger to scandal. His bedroom conquests are as legendary as his fortune. As he searches for a way to bring down an old enemy bent on destroying the lives of his friends, the last thing he needs is a Scottish widow getting in his way.
A FIERY WOMAN WHO WON’T BACK DOWN…
The daughter of a Scottish lord with a dark and treacherous past, Rosalind Melbourne has spent years distancing from her past. After escaping her tyrannical father and marrying an aging English lord, she has become a powerful widow with a business empire at her command. Her business dealings are everything to her, leaving her no time for love. Especially not with her business rival Ashton, a man with a scandalous reputation as striking as his blue eyes.
A GAME OF WITS TURNS TO A GAME OF SEDUCTION…
Ashton is fascinated by the strong-willed, intelligent and sensual lady who, up until now, had outsmarted him at every turn. Rosalind wishes she could deny she is falling for the brooding, handsome baron. How can she possibly trust him when doing so could cost her what she values most—her freedom? When Ashton discovers Rosalind might hold the key to saving the League of Rogues, he knows he will do anything to woo his wicked lass. As their pasts return to haunt them and dark forces rise to keep them from exposing a deadly spymaster, their game of love turns to a game of survival…
Warning: This book includes a brooding baron who’s wild in bed, a crafty Scottish lass who never knows when to quit, a wicked game of strip chess, and a merry band of rogues whose first instinct is to run they hear wedding bells ring.
