(The Rose Room Rogues Book 3)
Author: Callie Hutton
Published: September 2021
Genre: Historical Romance
Blurb:
Keniel Singh, a bi-racial by-blow of the former Earl of Huntington is unknown to his three brothers. He was born to Chloe Singh, an artist mother who was Jamaican. She had a brief affair with the former Earl of Huntington when he was there to check on one of his plantations.
On her deathbed she tells Keniel of his heritage and encourages him to find his family. He sets out for London and is soon employed at The Rose Room, while his brothers, the owners, do not know who he is.
Miss Laura Benson is an almost spinster who champions children on the London street. She’s raised enough money to rent a house for an orphanage. She is upset to learn that a Mr. Keniel Singh has put in a bid to buy the house for himself. She visits him and finds a young, handsome, charming man who won’t give up the purchase of ‘her’ house.
Keniel is attracted to the spirited, beautiful woman, but holds back, sure she would never consider any sort of relationship with him because of his heritage. However, to keep her in his life, he refuses to break the contract for the house. Instead, he offers to help her find another one.
Laura is equally attracted to the man, but his refusal to allow her the house that she deems perfect for the children, and the fact that he manages a gambling house patronized by the very men who produce these cast off children warns her to keep her heart close.
As Keniel’s feelings grow, can he change her mind?
My Review:
What a fabulous book with a satisfying epilogue! Keniel Singh and Laura Benson are encountered in a leased property where Laura requires it for her orphanage meanwhile Keniel requires it for his permanent residence. Keniel irritates Laura because he doesn’t want to withdraw his intention to purchase the house that it always leads them to dispute the property.
Throughout their search for finding the house, they both have compelling attraction that they couldn’t resist. What I love the most from this series is the Rose heroes couldn’t hide and keep their hands off of the heroines including Keniel. Keniel wants to have more than friend relationship with Laura however his insecurities of his heritage and the status quo make him evade Laura because she is an heiress of successful businessman and is welcome in the ton whereas he isn’t but he cares for her and wants her to be happy.
Callie Hutton did amaze me over again with this latest series, not only does this book tell how the volatile of the cast off children in the past matters but also how the racial issue arises. Nevertheless I was overjoyed when Keniel and Laura conquer the status quo. What an enjoyable reading with the unusual hero and all the issues arise within this historical romance, I personally recommend this! Thank you, Callie Hutton for this ARC which I voluntary reviewed.About the author
My historical romances
are full of heat, and quirky characters. I’ve always loved history, which was
my college major. Things of the past fascinate me. Not those boring history
classes in high school, but the history of people. How they lived their lives,
what they ate, what they wore, the challenges they faced, what they worried
about.
I have recently delved
into Historical Cozy Mysteries. My very first one, For the Love of the Baron, a
Historical Suspense novella, spurred me to try a full length, non-romance
focused cozy mystery. A study in Murder released this year from Crooked Lane
Publishing, and the reviews have been very good. The second book in that
series, The Sign of Death, will release in April of 2021.
Although those books
are not strictly romance, the main characters, William, Lord Wethington, and
Lady Amy Lovell have formed a friendship while solving a murder mystery. Who
knows where that will take them?
Take a look around my
website and check out some of the books I write, and their lovely covers.
