Editorial Review:
Ethan Damont's legendary gambling skills have earned him a place at the gaming tables of London's most exclusive homes. He has used his dubious place in Society to aid The Liar's Club. But his latest favor to the group has not only put his life in danger-it has thrown him together with the woman who tempts him to forgo his rakish ways. Lady Jane Pennington is the ravishing niece of a suspected traitor. Now it's Ethan's job to discover if the woman he finds irresistible is naïve to her uncle's deceit-or guilty of treason against the Crown...Jane can barely wait for the Season to end-until she meets Ethan Damont. After a humiliating first encounter, Jane expects a scoundrel like Ethan to joke at her expense. Instead, he behaves like a perfect gentleman. But just as Jane finds herself overcome by her desire for Ethan, he takes her captive. Suddenly, she is pulled into a dangerous world where it's impossible to know who is friend-and who is foe. Will Ethan prove to be her undoing...or the love she has always longed for?

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fun
I personally love all of the Liar's Club books and although this was not my favorite I still enjoyed it. Ethan was a fun character and he made me laugh. As a couple Ethan and Jane were missing something. Maybe a "heavier" romance, not sure, but I wasn't feeling that tug in my heart that I like to feel when I read these books. If you've read all the other Liar's books then you may be able to tolerate this book, but as a first read for this author it is not recommended because it will probably disappoint.
Rating:  - Silly plot, non-existent romance
The last of the Liar series plays as a disjointed farce of logic. Intrique, double intrique, and unjustified leaps in logic for the main characters abound.
The heroine, Lady Jane, becomes two entirely different characters midway through the story. She is neither a believable virgin innocent nor competent spy vixen.
Ethan is a charming fellow and I enjoyed his characterization but his incredibly stupid decision-making ability confound me. Why bother to cart his precious lady anywhere ... Read More
Rating:  - B+/A- what pulls this up to an A- is the clever plot and action scenes, Ethan's character development, and continuing the saga
In this romance, the hero really is the main character and focus of the story. And we watch him try to court the heroine. (I'd say the book is 80% his and 20% the heroine's.) He likes to gamble esp. w/ cards - and that's how he's earned his living - he cheats too - he'll take money from the rich and spoiled and ungrateful without feeling guilty at all. And he's damn good at it. Ethan truly is a commoner, the son of a fabric merchant and a seamstress - he was sent to a rich school (where he met his only friend, ... Read More
Rating: - Love it
Read this one first and love it sending for all the books to read them.
Rating: - Wonderful Series
Although I have read historical novels for years, I never felt moved to rate any book. But I felt I had to this time. The Rogue was the fifth book in a series by Celeste Bradley. I didn't start the Liar's Club series until I had all five. Once I started, I'm glad I waited. I couldn't stop reading. I read all five books in ten days. They were absolutely the best read I have ever had. The way Ms. Bradley worked all the Liars in the book allowed you to follow them throughout the series. But if you only read ... Read More
