The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long, 3

Book description: A rescued rogue . . .

Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary.

A captivating captor. . .

Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it. But when it becomes clear that whoever wants Colin alive wants Madeline dead, the two become uneasy allies in a deadly race for truth. Together, they'll face great danger—and a passion neither can resist.

Review: The Perils of Pleasure is much more plot driven than the average romance novel. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the plot all that interesting. Everything else about the book worked. The characters were ok and I really liked their banter. I just wasn’t all that into this one. I’ll continue to read future books by this author, mostly because of how much I enjoyed Like No Other Lover.
