Review: When the Rogue Returns – Sabrina Jeffries

Victor Cale never imagined that his sweet, shy bride, Isabella, would use her talents for creating exquisite imitation jewels criminally. But there’s no denying that her handiwork was used in the theft of the Dutch royal diamonds– right after Isa disappeared into the night.

Ten years later, Victor is sent to Edinburgh to investigate a wealthy baron’s mysterious bride-to-be… who turns out to be Isa, masquerading as an alluring widow. No longer the meek girl he once knew, Isa boldly asserts that it was Victor who abandoned her, after he helped steal the royal diamonds!

Piecing together the truth of the past reawakens their volatile passions, which burns hotter than ever. But with a decade of secrets between them, Victor and Isa must trust each other to bring the real thieves to justice– without getting burned themselves.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

4.5 Cocktails

While I enjoyed this book very much, some parts of it were a little over the top and unrealistic. (Which made all the more fun.)  It definitely kept my interest, and kept me on my toes.
I absolutely loved  this installment even though I do have to  confess that I did not read the first book in the series. (Once again I jump in without reading the beginning of the series.)  But I have loved all Sabrina Jeffries.

When the Rogue Returns, with its farfetched  characters and plot twists made a very whimsical story. I enjoyed, Isabella a sweet young woman, turned into a strong woman, who co-owned a  jewelry business, and raised her daughter on her own. Victor started  out as a young man with not much going for him, then he was found by his family. And his life became better all he need was to find his wife. The fun begins when they found each other. I would definitely recommend reading When the Rogue Returns.
