Overall Rating:  4 Rockin’ ★★★★Roark is on his way to rescue his stepsister or so he thinks from the evil clutches of the Viscount Sethwick, but finds himself the one that needs rescuing.  It was his bad luck that he had decided to travel with his usual entourage and found himself with a lame horse needing directions and assistance to get to the castle to intercede for his stepsister.  Only the little hellion he ran into had tricked him and managed to dupe him and that is how he found himself locked in a cell in the dungeon.  She was convinced that he was his younger brother and a cad of the first order.  Nothing that he said would convince Adaira Ferguson that he was the Earl of Clarendon.  Even though she had locked him in a dungeon and he swore he’d have her thrown in prison, Roark could not deny the attraction he felt.Adaira only had to keep the man imprisoned until her brother returned and then she would turn him over to be dealt with and justice would be done.  Even though she felt that she had captured the right person a small fear crept into her soul, what if she was wrong? She would be imprisoned in Newgate for kidnapping a peer of the realm.  The more time she spent around the man she had apprehended the more doubts that continued to plague her that something is not right.When he is released, Roark has one goal in mind and that is to make Adaira Ferguson pay for the injustices she has forced on him. Roark has the perfect punishment for Adaira, she needs to be taught the proper ways of being a lady.  With that in mind he arranges a month long house party and requires Adaira and her family to attend so that she can start her training in the proper decorum for a lady. He also wants to work out a stud arrangement for the line of horses that she has been breeding.  With no choice, Adaira agrees to his requirements all but including her horses.Everything that Adaira expected to be true about Roark is slowing being proved wrong.  He is a man that holds loyalty, proper behavior and justice above all else. Adaira is hiding a secret from four years ago that even her family does not know.  Roark also has secrets in his past that he is trying to overcome.  Will Roark be able to overcome the barriers that she has erected and win her trust as well as her heart?  Or will their past destroy the chance of finding true love? ~TSRBRHero –Roark, the Earl of Clarendon: 4 starsHeroine –Adaira Ferguson: 4 starsSteam: 4 starsPlot: 4 starsCliffhanger: NoWould I recommend this book: Yes!
