Publisher's Summary

Lady Sophie - Society Splash!

When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn't saving her from ruin. It's filled with it.

Rogue - Reign of Ravishment!

Kingscote - "King" - the marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn't charm, resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth, a general sense that he's more pretty face than proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring.

War? Or More?

He thinks she's trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn't have him if he were the last man on Earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive....

A wonderful Regency style novel for a wonderful escape

Thanks so much for such a fun story. I loved being being able to run away to another timer when gentlemen wore magnificent morning suits ands ride horses and ladies wore gowns and could run away on a mail coach.
Thank you but no more ‘long’ words!

Loved it!!

Having binged on several dozen audiobooks of the Regency / Historical / Romance genres over the past few months ' The Rogue not Taken' is one of my outright favourites.

I cannot fault this story at all. It is well-written with fantastic narration (I can't recall if I tweeked the narration speed but I loved the intonation and expressions in Justine's voice).

The banter between King and Lady Sophie is entertaining - both of whom are interesting and endearing characters with their own complexities. The plot has depth and unfolds well. I was 100% invested in their journey.

I cannot recommend this story enough!

Sausy

It's been a while since I was made to feel flushed by a book, but this rogue managed it more than once.
Other reviewers complained about the main male character, but I enjoyed King's lack of perfection and regrettable actions.
I laughed out loud on more than one occasion and would easily recommend this book.

Loved it

This was a really enjoyable book, I loved listening to King and Sophie together, so childish and funny at times and so loving at others.
It was a really long satisfying story, my only dislike was that the reader tended to put on a voice that made men, including King sound very stupid.
