Description from the publisher:
She was looking for adventure…
Lady Rosamunde Stanley just never expected in the form of a kidnapping.
Well, an almost-kidnapping. The dastardly man only went and took the wrong woman!
But she soon discovers the dark, handsome man is not quite the terrible rogue she thinks him to be and she decides to put his experience to use. Her uncle has gone missing and no one believes her when she says he’s in trouble. Can she persuade Russell to help?
Russell might have kidnapped her, but he has no intention of keeping her. Even if the heat between them is driving him out of his wits and her crazy family makes him long for things a battle-hardened orphan like him should never want.
Their societal divide isn’t the only reason to keep his distance. Rosamunde is a bloody knife-carrying, picklock-wielding madwoman.
A far too appealing madwoman…
He’s not the only one struggling. Rosamunde is finding it just as difficult to fight the attraction, despite knowing it is most likely her over-active imagination leading her down this path. Somehow, she must keep her head around the most exciting man she’s ever met.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STEALING THE HEIRESS is the second
book in The Kidnap Club series. Each will stand on its own, but I recommend
reading them all and in the order of release.
Spending time with Lady Rosamunde’s
family is its own unique three-ringed circus, but that’s not enough adventure
for her. She daydreams of pirates and
Egyptian archeologists whisking her away on fanciful escapades.
Luckily, she is accidentally the
unintended victim of a Kidnap Club quest when her cousin accepts the right
proposal and fails to cancel the orders in time. Now, doesn’t that sound like the foolishness
that would happen to me (or you) if we tried to set ourselves up for a
kidnapping?
I loved the banter between Rosie and
Russell. I loved the playful blackmail
to get him to do what she wanted. I loved
that Rosie loved her Uncle Albert so much – even if the rest of the family didn’t
understand it was obvious that she and Uncle Albert were two peas from one pod.
I loved that Rosamunde wasn’t a simpering
innocent. She is a widow with no time
for foolish innocence or games, though she is still a proper and respectable
lady. Not an easy line to hold even in
modern times (maybe harder now).
The story was fun… capital F, Fun. There are only three men in The Kidnap
Club. Two have fallen. The third is a duke. I can’t wait!
The bigger they are…. And the other two have already fallen hard, so
this should be really good!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
