If Erica Ridley is the author you know you have a more-than-satisfying read in your hands. Always an entertaining mix of the consequences of breaking those rigid Regency rules, a scoundrel who skirts a little too close to danger, and a woman who does her best to persevere in spite of those darn rules. Each series and each story are unique, but you can count on a good time from the first page to the last. When the Wild Wynchesters are involved, however, even though you know it will be exciting and entertaining you have no idea what this family will get up to, who and what they’ll be involved with, and what crazy things will happen. No shrinking violet, Marjorie still usually takes a back seat during the family’s investigations. This time, however, she’s the one with the skill to identify counterfeits so suddenly she’s front and center. No problem, except she wasn’t prepared for the attraction between her and Lord Adrian Webb. Not very convenient, make that certainly inconvenient, but doesn’t look like it can be ignored for long. As for Adrian, he was banished by his father several years ago for conduct unbecoming someone of his position, for being a rogue. Turns out he’s not as clever a rogue as the thought he was, though, and now he’s being blackmailed into some very dangerous activity. My Rogue to Ruin is a great addition to the series. The family pops in and out, Marjorie keeps coping, Adrian desperately wants to earn a place back into his sister’s life – and stay alive – and the danger and mystery surrounding the counterfeiting keep you turning pages. Not to mention looking forward to more steamy encounters between Marjorie and Adrian. Thanks to author Erica Ridley for providing an advance copy of My Rogue to Ruin as part of her review crew. If you haven’t read the other books in the series I recommend you read them as soon as you finish this book. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own. (read less)

My Rogue to Ruin by Erica Ridley The Wild Wynchesters #4 The Wynchester family was born one year when Baron Vanderbean adopted a motley crew of orphans. Each book in this series stars one of the siblings that are related by choice and not by blood. Stronger ties than they have are rarely if ever found anywhere else. Each story provides excitement, a quest, a problem to solve, action by the family members, group work, and the main character ends up with true love and happiness with their partner added to the family. Is it realistic and believable? Perhaps not. BUT the stories are fun, action-packed, emotional, zany, filled with animals, and a nice escape. What I liked: * Marjorie Wynchester: experiences sound, smell, and taste in colors; is partially deaf from a childhood disease, extraordinary artists and forger, sometimes feels lacking in comparison to her siblings, steps up and steps out as she is lead in the effort to expose a forger * Lord Adrian Webb: banished by his family, artist, forger, treated badly by his father and brother, wants to reestablish his relationship with his sister, more caring than his rogue-title, not nearly as rakish and depraved as people believe * The way the Wynchesters work together to provide what is needed to right wrongs * Their motto or saying that “Wychesters do impossible things all the time – every day” and how they prove it in each book * Jacob’s menagerie and the way he reminds me a bit of Doctor Doolittle – it will take someone special to be his partner – look forward to his book * Elizabeth – someone who seems blood thirsty, learns quickly, sees more than others realize, and will star in her own book next * Seeing how those already partnered up are doing * That Snowley, the crook, was taken down * Knowing there is another book or two to look forward to in the future What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like * Thinking about Adrian’s family and how he ended up abandoned for something he did not do…wanted to take the one that did what Adrian was accused of to task…wished that person had been exposed and dealt with, too * Thinking about the way the poor lived during this time and how difficult their lives were Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Yes Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4 Stars (read less)
