"Strait-laced. Ruthless. Arrogant."Alexander Westhide, the Duke of Rakecombe, has no quarrel with such faint praise as he has forever shunned marriage, women, and anything remotely resembling love. Indeed, the damning words merely serve to enhance his haughty façade. But beneath the controlled demeanor lies a duke beset by tragedy, a man turbulent and restless."Forthright. Impudent . . . Capricious saucebox."Miss Aideen Quinlan can't quite explain why she feels the need to taunt, tease, and generally annoy the Duke of Rakecombe. Maybe it was for the heart-racing spar of words that always ensued, or maybe it was to see the duke's broad fist clench on his ebony cane, green eyes glittering.Or maybe it was because she was unable to erase the memory of his vehement kiss . . .An unlikely couple.Torn between his world of espionage and this unquenchable passion, the duke still refuses to lower his fierce defenses. If Aideen is to capture her resistant duke's troubled heart, it is she who must follow the Rules of the Rogue. Resistance is futile . . .… (plus d'informations)

It's funny - I read the first two books in the series so I could read this one and unfortunately I enjoyed the first two a lot more than I did this one. I was really looking forwards to Aideen and Alex's story but it was just missing something. The spark between them that was so strong in the first book was just gone. Or at least, flickering. They still had the banter and Aideen was still competent - but the mischievousness Aideen had previously shown didn't really come out. And since it was supposed to be the Rules of the Rogue from a female view, I kind of expected Jack and Aideen to plot a hell of a lot more - get Sophie (from the first book) into it, pull in Meghan (the Duke's mum) and girl power it. I mean the first book had the whole bromance between Bram and Alex and Jack, the second had Jack and Asher and this one had like one instance of Jack and Aideen discussing jealousy.

It wasn't bad, just wasn't as good as I was anticipating. It was a bit light on romance and mystery/suspense but the banter was funny and it was an easy read. 3.5 stars. (
