When the Rogue Returns

I have been reading Sabrina Jeffries books for a few years now and she really never disappoints. This is the 2nd book in the Duke's Men series and it features Victor and Isa. Victor was introduced in the first book as the Duke of Lyon's cousin. In this book we find that he was married 10 years before and his wife deserted him, leaving him to answer some tough questions about the theft of some jewels. Or so it seems. Isa is also led to believe that her husband deserted her and played a part in the jewel heist. 10 years have passed and it's time for the two lovers to find there way back to each other and bring the real jewel thieves to justice.

I liked Victor from his appearance in the first book and took to Isa right away as well. They had good chemistry and both had great spirit and fight. Both are “damaged” from the events of 10 years ago and Victor has some tough childhood issues to overcome as well. I loved the damaged hero and Victor is a great one. I appreciated that both of the characters seemed to want to get to the truth pretty much from the start and were willing to hear the other out. It wasn't instant but I was happy with the pace of the reconciliation. This was another fun read from Sabrina Jefffries! And I'm more excited than ever to read the books for Tristan and Dom!
