    About this audiobook

    The daughter of a Scottish lord with a dark and treacherous past, Rosalind Melbourne has spent years distancing from her past. After escaping her tyrannical father and marrying an aging English lord, she has become a powerful widow with a business empire at her command. Her business dealings are everything to her, leaving her no time for love. Especially not with her business rival Ashton, a man with a scandalous reputation as striking as his blue eyes.

    Ashton is fascinated by the strong-willed, intelligent and sensual lady who, up until now, had outsmarted him at every turn. Rosalind wishes she could deny she is falling for the brooding, handsome baron. How can she possibly trust him when doing so could cost her what she values most-her freedom? When Ashton discovers Rosalind might hold the key to saving the League of Rogues, he knows he will do anything to woo his wicked lass. As their pasts return to haunt them and dark forces rise to keep them from exposing a deadly spymaster, their game of love turns to a game of survival . . .

    Contains mature themes.

      Loved every second of it. As I did the previous ones before this.
      The narrator sounds a bit robotic but otherwise she's good. But having said that I have really enjoyed this series so far.
      Now on to the next one.

      I liked this book. Found it interesting and I’m glad I finished it. It was real slow in some parts
    • 5/5
      'Wicked Rivals' by Lauren Smith is book four in "The League of Rogues" series. This is the story of Ashton Lennox and Rosalind Melbourne. I have read most of the books in this series but I easily felt this was a standalone book.
      Rosalind is a widower who has taken on running her late husband's business..and doing a great job at it. Ashton is a business rival and is taken with Rosalind..but he is tired of her taking some of his business away. Also, he thinks an old enemy is working with her or using her. So Ashton set out to take over her debits and try to 'own her' as he put it. Rosalind is so mad at Ashton she takes off after him and she finds herself caught at his house with his mother, sister, and his friends. This leads to Ashton thinking that he should marry her and setting this attraction between them. Also, this will get him control over her business.
      This was such a fun, hot read! I am just in love with this whole series! Ms. Smith has become one of my favorite authors!
