I really enjoyed Julie Johnstone's book WHAT A ROGUE WANTS the first book in her Lords of Deception series. I loved that the story was set in the Georgian era! I loved the character Madelaine, who was not like the ordinary lady we usually read of, she did not like embroidery she loved archery! Lord Grey was a charming rake. She became a lady-in-waiting to the queen and felt like a puppet; that did not help matters. She had to become a proper lady! But at what cost? Some of her comments are so funny! Grey did not trust her and believed she is part of a plot. Until, she gets shot, then Grey really starts to fear for her life and realizes that he loves her. Ms. Johnstone nicely blended her characters into her suspense. It was very well written! It's a story filled with betrayals and secrets. Great characters, a tight plot, an atmospheric historical setting! I recommend this historical romance, especially if you like stories set in that era. I liked the epilogue at the end! I will be looking for her next book in this series.
