(She is an innocent 21 to his jaded 33, so there’s a May/December trope as well.) Phoebe resents James’ close watch over her and her brother’s over-protectiveness. Phoebe, sister to the powerful Duke of Wakefield, is blind and needs James’ protection from would-be kidnappers and to ensure her safety as she navigates city and society. It’s obvious that James is sweet on Phoebe, but there be complications. It opens on Bond Street, where bodyguard James Trevillion, formerly a captain in his majesty’s dragoons, saves his charge, Lady Phoebe Batten, from kidnapping. Eighth in the Maiden Lane series, Dearest Rogue, like the sublime, early Leopard Prince, is a cross-class romance. With what enthusiasm Miss Bates delved into another Hoyt Georgian romance in Dearest Rogue. The Raven Prince and The Leopard Prince, especially the latter, are two of the best romance novels Miss Bates has read.
