How to Fall for a Scoundrel (Her Majesty’s Rebels #2) by Kate Bateman

SPORTOCHICK’S MUSINGS: Delightful. I absolutely loved this book and its characters. Harry keeps Eleanor on her toes and is so charming that the reader has to fall in love with him.

DESCRIPTION

Two unlikely allies team up to solve a case in this novel filled with Kate Bateman’s signature sparkling voice, exciting adventures, and steamy chemistry.

As a founding member of King & Co., London’s most successful private investigation firm, studious Eleanor Law delights in secretly proving that women can solve crimes just as well as men. When a charming con man pretends to be her fictional boss, “Charles King,” Ellie knows he’s lying, but accepting the scoundrel’s offer of help might just be the key to cracking her new case and recovering a priceless manuscript.

“Henri Bonheur”—or “Harry” as he asks to be called—claims his criminal past is behind him, but a man who steals and seduces with such consummate ease can never be trusted. As the investigation draws them deeper into danger and desire, Ellie’s infuriated to realize she’s developed feelings for her law-breaking accomplice. How can she love the scoundrel when she doesn’t even know his real name? And what will happen when Harry’s past finally catches up with him?

REVIEW

Delightful. I absolutely loved this book and its characters. Harry keeps Eleanor on her toes and is so charming that the reader has to fall in love with him. His way of sneaking into her life and that of the other members of King & Co. makes me laugh. Throughout the book I wondered what his end game was though I was pretty sure I had it figured out. I didn’t. That’s what I loved about this book.

This book shows Ellie (Eleanor), Tess, and Daisy solving private investigations in a fun and intelligent way. When in slides a mystery man who drives Ellie crazy as he waggles his way into their private investigation company as the mysterious King.

Daisy and Tess see the benefit of his pretending and also the heat between Harry and Ellie so they do a little matchmaking of their own but throwing them together at various times on various cases.

This book was a humorous love story about two unlikely people who have more in common then they will admit. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the third book of the series.
